      This site has a 30 second blurb on many topics that we teach from the money supply to Henri Matisse  from the space station to the properties of chemicals.

      great help - mainstream topics like "volcano" are pretty safe.  But the embed code doesn't work for Wikispaces.

    Qwiki instantly makes a 1 minute educational movie on any topic. A must try resource! Works by typing in a search term. Great for visual/auditory learners... and teachers. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/ICT+&+Web+Tools

      I like that the links are broken down by uses and that they are rated with how easy they are to use and usefulness.

Idaho Teachers Fight a Reliance on Computers - NYTimes.com - 32 views

www.nytimes.com/...t-a-reliance-on-computers.html

shared by Kate Pok on 04 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Last year, the state legislature overwhelmingly passed a law that requires all high school students to take some online classes to graduate, and that the students and their teachers be given laptops or tablets. The idea was to establish Idaho’s schools as a high-tech vanguard. To help pay for these programs, the state may have to shift tens of millions of dollars away from salaries for teachers and administrators. And the plan envisions a fundamental change in the role of teachers, making them less a lecturer at the front of the room and more of a guide helping students through lessons delivered on computers.
  • “Teachers don’t object to the use of technology,” said Sabrina Laine, vice president of the American Institutes for Research, which has studied the views of the nation’s teachers using grants from organizations like the Gates and Ford Foundations. “They object to being given a resource with strings attached, and without the needed support to use it effectively to improve student learning.”

      What a pity, a sign of how little respect people actually give to the profession of teaching; the only profession where people don't take the comments of practitioners seriously.  Can you imagine saying to your doctor, "I know this is your diagnosis, but I'm going to go with my Great Aunt's diagnosis."

  • They complain that lawmakers listened less to them than to heavy lobbying by technology companies, including Intel and Apple.
  • under the state’s plan, that teacher will not always be in the room. The plan requires high school students to take online courses for two of their 47 graduation credits.

      I actually find this somewhat troubling...so little research exists as to how students are actually learning online.  Are they using Facebook or are they going through MIT's Open Courseware?  I'm inclined to think the former.  I'm slowly adding more and more technology to my classes and frankly, I'm surprised that students are not more technologically savvy... the first and second digital divides are increasingly evident...

      Interesting article, however, you can't ignore that students today will be doing a significant amount of learning on a computer. If our high school students can't master managing an online class in high school, how will they fare later on? It's another learning tool. 2 classes out of 47 credits? How is that detrimental to the development of lifelong learners? We can research until the cows come home, but at some point if we don't dive in, we miss the boat. While we can all wish for all our students to graduate high school and then go on to college, the reality is that most of them won't. That's reality... Preparing our kids for future learning and building those skills necessary to be successful to master online courses is a skill they will need to succeed in their digital world.

  • “How can educators around the world use technology to connect, collaborate, teach, support and inspire each other? Collaborative Internet applications allow educators to create online communities that support their professional learning and relieve their isolation. In this session we will focus on the ways two social networking tools, Twitter and Classroom 2.0, can be harnessed to build a rich and powerful learning community.

    From Twitter PLN - great resource and explaination for why teachers should use Twitter to build up their PLNs
  • Lee-Anne Patterson on 17 Mar 09
     
    I realize there are many amazing posts on the merits of using Twitter to develop a PLN. I also realize that there already exists dozens of collections of tools for making the most of Twitter. Yet, as I prepare for my presentation at NJECC's annual conference tomorrow, I am compelled to write one of my own.

    Recently I have been diving into the world of Assessment, seeking to better understand how we might design effective processes around this essential phase of the learning cycle. In doing so I have found a wealth of resources and quality reads that offer insights and strategies to be applied into our classrooms. Here then is a sampling of what I have been reading.

    Thanks for sharing this Patti. I thought it was a great read. It very clearly articulates the many simple reasons why we do need to integrate technology into education and let it become as seamless as using pen and paper. The Evolution video was fascinating ...

      I'm not sure of the cost but this could be another alternative to smartboards.  The document camera would be REALLY beneficial and save in cost because teachers will not have to keep photocopying transparencies.

    I use a Mimio pad: it is awesome. I observed a demonstration at NSTA conference of document camera and I think it also includes a microscope attachment. The whole system seems phenomenal.
  • Holly Barlaam on 17 Apr 11
     
    It's a great system, and it's cheaper than a SMARTboard. I had one at my previous workplace. If I recall correctly, you can even use SMARTexchange activities with the mimio.
