I thought this was pretty interesting.  How do we teach students to judge the quality of information they are getting?

Amy, I like the graph. There are so much details to think about when it comes to look for "the tool" for our students. Thank you for sharing!

Here are some audio editing tools if you need any.  I have used Audacity.  I didn't know there were so many others!

Amy, I knew about Nero, and just "met" audacity :) The same as you and Krista, never imagined how many more are there.

Thanks Amy, I also have used Audacity, but just to have students record their answers to an oral test. Now I've learned about other uses and other tools. Great!

Portfolios are a great way to document and display student growth.

Thanks Jesse! I'm always looking for different ways to do portfolio-based writing, so these seem super helpful. I use Evernote already and hadn't thought to use it for portfolios. Thanks again.

Thanks Jesse! I can certainly use this.

How to incorporate technology into station learning.

Hi Diane: I am wondering, does your school support iPads for students in your class? or, is it required that they purchase their own. Is this an online class or a face-face class?

We have a classroom set of iPads that are available. Students don't purchase them, the school got them through a grant.

This is a YouTube video that introduces how to use Google Classroom. I sometimes like to watch video tutorials about how to use new technology because they give me a better idea about how the platform, website, tool will function for students. If you're looking for new material on YouTube, you can follow certain people's/organizations "channels," you can create public or private "playlists" of videos to save for yourself, or you can search for existing "playlists" that others have created.

This is something that has frustrated me - I'm glad they updated copying to make things easier!

A STEM integration group based in MN. Haven't looked into it much but it was recommended by another teacher Melinda in my CARLA course about Style and Strategies.

Check out what I'm learning in our technology class, tracked in this blog!

Lucy Norris and Professor Agnes Kukulska-Hulme explain how teachers can help language students get on top of their own learning by using mobile phones.

Shared by Jesse! Such a good list.

Wow, what a great list! Formative assessment is such an important part of ensuring that learning objectives are being met, and these are some wonderful ideas to ensure that this won't get stale in my classroom.

Thanks for posting this! These seem like fun ways to meet learning targets with any type of video.

These are useful. Will try some ideas in my class in fall!
