    The speaker makes many thought provoking statements that I think get to the core of what needs to happen in terms of technology's place in education. Curriculum needs to be overhauled and updated to reflect society's needs in terms of education. I think teachers should listen to this speech, because ultimately, success or failure is truly up to them.

    This site is devoted to the listening of music. People in the fourth grade and older can find this site manageable and pertinent. Pandora is internet radio that allows the user to customize a "station" based on personal preferences. When a song is presented, the listener may skip it, click "I like this song" or click "I don't like this song". Based on the human input, Pandora will begin to "learn" the users preferences. The next song presented on the radio will be centered on the feedback from the previous song. Students could be presented with a new artist\composer to explore. By using this site they can be exposed to new music and be in control of the direction their tastes take them. The students can make connections between a classical composer and current pop-culture music.

    I've been kicking around the idea of having teachers and/or students create and share Pandora stations around composers, favorite artists, genres, etc.

  • The Virginia Department of Education is overseeing a $150,000 iPad initiative that has replaced history and advanced-placement biology textbooks at 11 schools.

  • n Virginia, Pearson, an educational publisher, added iPad-specific features to existing American and world history programs, including an application for “Jeopardy”-like games and functions that enable students to take on-screen notes in the margins, bookmark pages and zoom in for close-ups. Pearson will develop iPad versions for all of its new instructional programs for students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and begin offering iPad versions for 30 top-selling math, reading, literature, social studies and science programs in April.
  • “Traditionally, so much of art history is slides on a screen,” he said. “When they were able to manipulate the image themselves, it came alive.”
  • iPads would also save money in the long run by reducing printing and textbook costs; the estimated savings in the two iPad classes alone are $7,200 a year.
  • eplacing math textbooks with digital versions
  • 60 percent of the high school’s literature reading list from iBooks free.

  • Many think of Twitter as a place where people post insignificant updates about themselves. You know, "I'm getting a coffee." There was a time when I thought the whole concept was silly. Then, Twitter transformed...actually Twitter users developed new ways to use this communication tool. Here's how educators are using Twitter to collaborate and learn more about their craft.
  • Hashtags changed everything. Twitter users have developed ways to search for content and one of the most important innovations is the hashtag (#). A hashtag is text inside a twitter post (called a tweet) that starts with a # and then some text (i.e., #hashtag). This provides a very efficient way to search for content.
  • - Note - The power of Twitter for professional development is not the tweets themselves...it's the links to broader content.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • To make the process even easier, download and install Tweetdeck. http://www.tweetdeck.com/ Tweetdeck is a program that allows you to perform multiple hashtag searches at the same time.
  • Putting this all together, here's how I personally use Twitter for my own professional development. I start each day by starting up Tweetdeck. I have a number of hashtag searches setup as well as people I follow. I scan the page and see what jumps out at me. Usually, these tweets have links to articles, tips, lesson plans, etc. I click the link, explore the content and try to learn something new. Using this method I can definitely say I learn something new every day.
