Interesting points. I especially like 6. DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION AS A SIGN OF DISTINGUISHED TEACHER The 21st century is customizable. In ten years, the teacher who hasn't yet figured out how to use tech to personalize learning will be the teacher out of a job. Differentiation won't make you 'distinguished'; it'll just be a natural part of your work.

Technology is revolutionizing the world of education - replacing familiar classroom tools and changing the way we learn. MindShift explores the future of learning in all its dimensions - covering cultural and technology trends, groundbreaking research, education policy and more. The site is curated by Tina Barseghian, a former editor of Edutopia and the mother of a grade-schooler.

Free online word prediction. Another advantage is that you do not need to download anything.

Tech Integration made easy as pie:

Looking for a short video to introduce or reinforce a math concept. This site is great.

This is an example of a traditional lesson that I added technology to very easily. The lesson plan is in the attachments. My class went through the writing process to create their New Year's resolutions. When they finished their traditional "stepping into New Year's" bulletin board activity, we then digitally captured their voices in Audacity. Students then created their own Resolution Page in Glogster.edu.

Another resource for Clicker is the Clicker ebooks that you can download from the Accessible Book Collection. This is a great website that has digital text in different formats available for download...there is a $50 subscription fee for the year but it is well worth it if you are trying to integrate digital text with instruction. You can see that Linda has played a large part in adding these Clicker 5 books to the collection! Posted by Kathryn Lee on Blackboard

Glog I created that has a great teacher focused 21st Classroom video

Includes online word magnets, equitable practice random selectors. Great tools for those who don't have Promethean Boards

Great comparison chart

Love the quote from a Twitter feed I received today, "Easier to change how we teach than to change the way students learn"

Yet another Web 2.0 tool.

We are going on a field trip on 10/ 8. Each student will have a digital camera/video camera to take pictures on the trip. When they return they will need to answer three of the index cards and create their own glog with their own text/pictures and videos. Great way to followup a field trip!

I have a class set of Bean Sprout and Cabinar camera's so each student has one to take digital pictures. I also have 13 GFM DV-150's which students pair up to take videos and digital pictures. The first field trip was quite a success using this assignment. My students were engaged and asked very pointed questions. The tour guide commented how well prepared they seemed, and how great their questions were. I plan on doing the same type of assignment when we go to the Natural History Museum next month.

Glog created about why our students need integrated technology
