Awesome video! Don't be put off that it is 11 minutes - watch it!!

Teachers talk about the change in their teaching and in student learning by "flipping" instruction and becoming facilitators/coaches- spending more time working with individual students and groups as opposed to being the "sage on the stage"

Impressive table that compares traditional (analog) classroom practice to and potential digital possiblities.

Ideas to share with teachers for using a digital camera in the classroom.

This was a thought-provoking article with a lot of interesting ideas around how to use the "back-channel" in the classroom. I was especially taken aback by all of the comments that essentially lambasted these teachers for integrating 21c learning experiences into the classroom. One commenter said: "It needs to be explained to teacher Erin Olson that teachers should be encouraging students to extricate themselves from all the electronic gadgetry and to pay attention." Ah yes, wouldn't it be nice if all of students sat quietly in their desks and listened attentively with their hands folded, ready to take in the sage wisdom of the instructor standing in front of the room. Unreal.

This video documents an excellent example of how students and teachers at the iSchool are taking their learning beyond the 4-walls of the classroom.

This example showcases how students can take on the role of "global communicators" by bringing experts into the classroom with simple technologies, in this case Skype.

CITEd seems like a smart, helpful organization. I like this piece and also their site in general. I wonder how many other organizations/sites are out there like this and what is the best way to choose a small number to follow/use for our technology work.
