I thought this was an interesting way to look at what students can research/read on their own and what class time should be used for - something to keep in mind as we're planning class!

This is for the iTouch - but it also works on Android devices pretty much the same way

I like that audioboo is an app. I am pretty much connected to my iphone (it's an extension of my arm) and audioboo seemed to be the only one that was mentioned that had an iphone app.

The name of the book is "Self Efficacy: the exercise of control" Bandura.

Dan found this site - for creating online activities with voice recording that incorporate images and video. Limited free version, but only $79/year for the full version.

Online tools for helping foreign language teachers and students get the most out of language education. I have been using this site for few years now. Mira Angrist

I've used this and really like it. The kids adapted to it very easily. You can have students type or record answers to audio, video, or photo prompts. You can also send back verbal feedback! One caution though, we had we not able to get the recording to work with Google Chrome on our 2010 MacBooks. Worked flawlessly in Safari. We're getting new laptops this year, so I'll have to see if we have the same problems. Will keep you posted on that.

Good resource for creating online quizzes with video. Geared toward ESL, but also has quizzes in other languages, mostly Spanish with some French.

food for thought about the importance of teaching students about being good digital citizens; implications of the quality of your web-presence.

I'm always frustrated with sites that say they have free images and then link to a bunch more sites that say and do the same thing. Here are 7 sites to find photos and images that are copyright-free or friendly, in addition to Flickr. Do you remember how to search using Creative Commons??

Many teachers have also suggested that you have a "personal" Facebook page, and a "teacher" Facebook page, and ne'er the twain shall meet...

For those of you who have YouTube blocked in your schools

The writer of the "Cool Cat Teacher" Blog was very impressed by a tech integration specialist who won an award - and tells us all to take a minute to thank our "Bob"s, whoever they may be!

From Richard Byrne's blog: "Own Your Space is a free, sixteen chapter ebook designed to educate tweens and teens about protecting themselves and their stuff online. This ebook isn't a fluffy, general overview book. Each chapter goes into great detail explaining the technical threats that students' computers face online as well as the personal threats to data that students can face online." It's free, downloadable, and it looks to me like it should be read by any student with internet access - and their parents and teachers!!!

Some recorded presentations from the LARC 2010 summer seminar. Topics include social media tools (PrimaryPad, VoiceThread), PhotoStory 3, blogs, Skype, Twitter, and more!

It's getting close to that time of year when teachers and students will be returning to school for the fall semester. The great thing about the start of a new school year is that it brings new resolutions for both teachers and students.

funny that I posted this later without seeing yours first.

I went straight to the "New Challenges" section- good stuff here to help US with this course and to help watch out for these issues when we start doing these things with our students!
