Tech Tools for Teachers
WEEKLY EMAIL NEWSLETTER
I am currently collaborating with a fellow teacher, Simon Collier on a free weekly e-mail that we will distribute throughout the year.
Each week the email features a useful online tool or website for teachers to use in their classroom.
The purpose of this email is to publicise and promote the use of ICT tools and web links to teachers who are not regularly sourcing the available information on the net. This in turn, hopefully increasing the use of the wonderful education tools available online.
The email is suitable for both primary and secondary teachers and we provide practical examples of how the tool or website could be integrated into the classroom curriculum.

it is essential that there is a purpose, and pedagogic purpose to the activities we do with technology
-
f we stand a chance of having students ‘unplug’ themselves willingly and engage in ‘deeper thought’ more often than ‘superficial thought’ in their leisure or work, they must understand why deeper thought is more important, and why it is better to put it before the ‘rush’ and instant gratification of technology.

Education Week: Students Turn Their Cellphones On for Classroom Lessons - 0 views
-
New educational uses of cellphones are challenging the "turned off and out of sight" rules that many districts have adopted for student cellphones on campus.
-
A growing number of teachers, carefully navigating district policies and addressing their own concerns, are having students use their personal cellphones to make podcasts, take field notes, and organize their schedules and homework

"In our district, especially at high school, students have a cellphone on them at all times, just like a pencil—it's an underused too

The Future of Reading - In Web Age, Library Job Gets Update - Series - NYTimes.com - 0 views
-
Ms. Rosalia, 54, is part of a growing cadre of 21st-century multimedia specialists who help guide students through the digital ocean of information that confronts them on a daily basis. These new librarians believe that literacy includes, but also exceeds, books.
-
“The days of just reshelving a book are over,” said Ms. Rosalia, who came to P.S. 225 nearly six years ago after graduating at the top of her class at the Queens College Graduate School of Library and Information Studies. “Now it is the information age, and that technology has brought out a whole new generation of practices.”
Well-Connected Parents Take On School Boards - washingtonpost.com - 0 views

For a new generation of well-wired activists in the Washington region, it's not enough to speak at Parent-Teacher Association or late-night school board meetings. They are going head-to-head with superintendents through e-mail blitzes, social networking Web sites, online petitions, partnerships with business and student groups, and research that mines a mountain of electronic data on school performance.
Backchanneling in Middle School Social Studies - 0 views
-
One of the eighth grade social studies teachers at my middle school decided to try and engage his students even more during a classroom video by incorporating the backchanneling tool, TodaysMeet
-
This was an awesome first experience with backchanneling in our middle school. In the past, when teachers used a long video (more than a few minutes in length) with students, one could easily observe students "tuning out" the video, trying hard to keep their eyes open, and generally getting *nothing* out of the experience. So not true with this experience!

The K-12 Web 2.0 Debate: Learning To Communicate : March 2009 : THE Journal - 0 views
-
reference has been made in current writing to such skills as collaboration, networking, and critical thinking as direct benefits for students; however, teaching practitioners are becoming more sophisticated in recognizing levels of learning within those skill development areas.
-
What is not so obvious but is becoming apparent is that within the general concept of communication, students can develop these skills differently and for different purposes with increased use of Web 2.0 tools. So, while we explore how Web 2.0 tools can assist in direct connection between individuals in the learning process, we must also explore how those connections build and expand students' ability to communicate effectively in various contexts and for various purposes.
2009 Horizon Report » One Year or Less: Mobiles - 0 views

Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less The unprecedented evolution of mobiles continues to generate great interest. The idea of a single portable device that can make phone calls, take pictures, record audio and video, store data, music, and movies, and interact with the Internet — all of it — has become so interwoven into our lifestyles that it is now surprising to learn that someone does not carry one. As new devices continue to enter the market, new features and new capabilities are appearing at an accelerated pace. One recent feature — the ability to run third-party applications — represents a fundamental change in the way we regard mobiles and opens the door to myriad uses for education, entertainment, productivity, and social interaction.

Technology Literacy and Sustained Tinkering Time « Generation YES Blog - 0 views
-
It struck me as I looked at this list that it’s a lot like what I believe about children and computers: that student choice, plus time for unstructured access to lots of different computing experiences is crucial to developing literacy and fluency with computers. My vision includes a teacher or mentor modeling passion, collaboration, interest in the subject, and offering experiences that challenge students without coercion, tricks, or rankings. If I had to come up with a catchy acronym, I’d call it Sustained Tinkering Time (SST).
-
So, looking at this list, there are some things that seem really relevant to the kind of computer fluency I would like all students to have. Wouldn’t it be great if students had: Free access to lots of different kinds of books software and hardware The teacher reads works on computer projects too No tests, book reports, logs, comprehension quizzes Comfortable space to read work on computer projects and that this was for all kids, not a reward or remediation?
