What an easy way for students to share documents and teachers to keep track of them. See the sections on "How to use folders as student turn-in folders" and "How to use forms to turn in assignments"

Technology is in the forefront of everything we do as collaborators in the classroom. Teachers incorporating the use of technology while lesson planning increases engagement and rigor. Lessons are enhanced and students are focused. Many of the projects we were involved in incorporated technology and we collaborated with others at the school site and across the district. Valuable relationships were formed among the students and the teachers. Teachers not involved with the collaboration process also benefited from this through observing what was taking place in our classrooms. These teachers then requested to be involved in the program. Relationships were built, the use of technology was increased, and a 21st Century classroom was created.

Those students are going to be coming up to the junior and senior high so prepared. Thank you! Knowing that they are coming up to the higher grades with the ability to work with technology and work with each other at the same time is reassuring. Excellent work, guys!

I love how your video focuses on how becoming a 21st C classroom is a process that we (teachers & students) are somewhere along the spectrum.

"The mission of ePALS Classroom Exchange is to offer safe, innovative ways for learners to make contact with other cultures. They currently connect over 4.5 million users from 191 countries, speaking 136 languages, by providing built-in Webmail language translation and safety features such as monitored e-mail and profanity filters.

ePals is the social network optimized for K-12 learning. Over half a million classrooms in 200 countries and territories have joined the ePals Global Community to connect, collaborate and exchange ideas. ePals now translates in 35 languages! The benefits of the site are that the students can connect with other students and classrooms around the globe. You connect with them by the projects that you are working on in the classroom. This gives the common ground to talk about back and forth. The possible pitfalls are if you get a classroom that is not as involved as yours. It could be a let down and you may have to find another classroom that you could connect with.

This site is free and connects you with other educators seeking to connect classrooms for global projects. It has great safety features and has a variety of projects for all content areas and grade levels. You can form e-mail pen pal connections with classrooms around the world. Very cool!

This is what I've been looking for! It allows you to give a quiz using Google Forms and grade it automatically. I just tried it and it works perfectly!

This is my resource for the February meeting. While it is not from the original list, it is directly related to my content and could be used with Common Core as students are asked form and defend opinions about the future of journalism. It also has them evaluate whether or not sources are reliable, which I cover, and includes coverage of the First Amendment, which I try to cover, but usually run out of time.

After joining the Yahoo group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eiditarod/ , our grade is following the race. In our class, we are having a boys v. girls competition. The Yahoo group provides guidance and forms for each step of the race. Students are blogging about the progress.

I really like your xtranormal presentation. Well worth the effort you put into it!

Xtra normal is a great site to use!!! To bad they are charging to use it now, my students liked it but not sure they would pay now to use it for the reports....

I've never even heard of xtranormal! Great inclusion. Using both that and the youtube AND including them in a Prezi show how we can use different forms of tech together. Great job. I wonder what other resources would fit in as seamlessly?
