A Toolkit  designed to provide innovative ideas and support for using interactive graphics for teaching and learning.

I have been creating a lot of student projects that use ThingLink as a tool for learning.

How to Earn (and Keep) Trust as an eLearning Instructor eLearning answers many needs of a 21st century audience. It eliminates travel, thereby reducing our carbon footprint. It provides immediate results, and is therefore a streamlined training solution. And eLearning is laser-targeted to develop precise skill sets. But eLearning instructors also have to contend with the drawbacks of the online experience; namely, recreating the physicality of a classroom.

Still, the instructor-student relationship is not exactly replicated in an online environment. elearningindustry.com/how-to-earn-and-keep-trust-as-an-elearning-instructor

Creating a Generation of Mathematicians through Innovative and Interactive Curriculum

The primary purpose of blog is to facilitate interaction between a teacher and his or her students. This is possible because a blog is a dynamic tool which can be easily updated or transformed as necessary to meet the needs of a science or math class. The integration of blog technology in a class requires an investment of time.

"Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out fills this gap, reporting on an ambitious three-year ethnographic investigation into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings-at home, in after school programs, and in online spaces.
