Here are five lessons I've learned about redefining classroom instruction with technology-whether iPads or other tools.

Why do the same-old-same-old when you can break the mold and do something really exceptional?

Project Based Learning across the curriculum. Doing away with individual subjects and teaching integrating real-life experiences with technology seamlessly.

For the month of March, a group of educators and lifelong learners will be picking a "Tweet of the day" and ReTweeting it with a tag: #gr8t Hopefully, you will join us in doing this too! See the 'about' page for more details. There are a number of reasons why you might want to participate: * To share what you value about Twitter. * To see what others value about Twitter (just look below). * To celebrate the power and wisdom of your Personal Learning Network. * To find interesting people to follow on Twitter. * To commit to giving Twitter a try.

These videos were created for teachers to help them to incorporate technology into their teaching.

All in all the experience was nothing short of wonderful and I loved that it was them teaching us.

This video collection will highlight the best administrative leadership videos to assist and guide our leaders of the importance of why we need to meet the needs our 21st century learners, infusing Web 2.0 technologies, and transformative solutions to assist our students to be competent self-directed learners.

Anyone with a microphone and an Internet connection suddenly seems to have a podcast, and for good reason: It's very easy to produce and upload audio clips. The tools are cheap, the files are easy to share, and just about anyone can do it. Does it make sense for your classroom?

computers can support learners, open doors to a world of possibilities and learning opportunities and global thinking. They can provide a chance for every child to learn their own way and construct their own knowledge. They can facilitate conversations with other people and other children around the world. They can knock down the isolation of a classroom's four walls and invite in the voices, experience and passion of the entire planet.

A thank you from @HGG that looks at teachers as learners.

A few people have asked me about 'where do people start' in re-thinking their use of ICT in the classroom.

The best 'how to get started' post I've seen in a while!

With the increasing use of technology in classrooms, it's no wonder that teachers have a growing interest in using YouTube and other online media sharing sites to bring information into their classrooms. Here are 100 YouTube videos that can provide supplementary information for the class, give inspiration, help you keep control of class and even provide a few laughs here and there.

What is it? Miro is a free and open source video player which does the following: - plays any video file (it's built on the VLC project); - allows you to search and download videos from Youtube, Google Video, bliptv and at least four other video services right from its interface; - acts as a bit torrent client (which gives you access to many more video sources); and, - gives you access to many high-quality Internet Tv channels. Miro is also cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Windows)

My presentation to TLITE

Would you use diigo for yourself? Would you use diigo with a class? How? Why is this a tool that would or would not work for you?

Although things have been proceeding well, there are a few things I wish I had known/done at the begining: Parent Permission Clarify Behavior Expectations Teacher (And user) Management Systems Model

What Kim has done to meaningfully connect students around the world is amazing... even moreso in that she teaches at the elementary level.

Kim gives some amazing advice to those interested in starting any kind of online project with students

Brilliant post! "I'm realizing I can take quite a bit of learning away from the experience..." Mandatory read before starting a new project! Keep it Simple Start Small Want do you want (UBD) Access issues Realistic - Time/Skills Schedules Maintain energy

The first of 3 pages we will be going to and highlighting/adding notes.

A teacher gives wonderful advice after looking back at an online project she considered a failure.
