8 SAMR examples. However, note that each example starts with a traditional assignment rather than a goal. The focus on product is another thing about SAMR that I don't like. Wouldn't it be better to start with a goal and then choose the tool(s) that best serve the goal, tech or not? It seems to me that what redefinition really means is coming up with a more robust and worthwhile goal. I'd rather just start with the goal and UDL Guidelines and select tech as an option that helps achieve the goal and meets the Guidelines.

SET-BC consultant Paul Hamilton's blog on AT resources. Paul finds the latest Web 2.0 apps, tries them out, and reviews them. He provides a screen shot and enough info that you can usually tell which apps are worth further investigating. I've invited Paul to join this group. He's definitely your goto guy if you're looking for a particular app.

I love Ian Jukes...especially his presentation on Digital Kids!

Two brilliant high school chemistry teachers have completely switched the lecture at school/homework at home paradigm. Their students watch the lecture at home as a vodcast (on computer, iPod, or DVD) and do problem sets at school with help from the teachers. Check out the news story from the local TV station. I used to live near Woodland Park...
