"Image Based Speaking Activity for IWB This is a quick image based speaking activity that any teacher with an IWB or just a data projector in their classroom can do." Nik Peachey's quick lesson plan could be done with your own photographic slide show--or have students in groups make slideshows for other groups to use in describing and discussing.

This video shows how to use Feed Marklet to create a button on your browser toolbar to add an RSS feed. Takes about 1 minute. You can use an RSS feed to keep track of student Webpages, and have them use it to keep track of each other's work. For instance, they might add all the pages they are making, or their blogs, and so be able to read them quickly when new content is added.

shared by TESOL CALL-IS on 12 Jul 10 - Cached

Using within-student variation in home computer access, and across-ZIP code variation in the timing of the introduction of high-speed internet service, we also demonstrate that the introduction of home computer technology is associated with modest but statistically significant and persistent negative impacts on student math and reading test scores. Further evidence suggests that providing universal access to home computers and high-speed internet access would broaden, rather than narrow, math and reading achievement gaps.
