  • Google Play for Education,
  • aims to simplify the content discovery process for schools,
  • the real key to Google’s new product is the fact that it enables administrators to distribute applications to their entire team. If a teacher wants to shoot content to a couple hundred Android devices, they simply have to type in their group’s name and voila, Google will push that sucker out to everyone on the list.

  • Teachers will now be able to search for and recommend learning content by category, grade level, and a variety of other criteria, and will have the opportunity to discover content recommended by other educators
  • mall businesses have been adopting Google’s productivity software in droves, and the interest has started to grow among school boards who want to introduce tablets into their classrooms and use Google Apps as the standard.
  • Through its Google Apps products, Google allows students and teachers to collaborate in realtime through Web apps, while using already-familiar tools like Google search and Gmail.

    Google Play for Education is not just a new search engine.  Google is poising itself to compete with Apple in the Education market.  Really like that apps can be pushed out across multiple devices with one click.

  • plans to replace textbooks in their public schools with digital tablets
  • 21 Toys are creating sets of toys to supply educators and learners
  • What if, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking were the basic skills educators focused on developing in their learners?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Educational tools need to be divergent and generative. Just like a good discussion. But we don't have discussion tools! What if only toys can boil down the tough stuff into easy to understand moments of insight? What if toys can become objects for thinking in metaphors? This means, 21 Toys' toys aren't so much the product; they make the air visible. The product is the discussion. The outcome is the learner: the learner's insights, and a tangible sense of the full spectrum of his or her skills.

    This page talks about creating crazy toys that bring out a whole new way of learning in the classroom instead of using textbooks to explain it these toys would do it.

  • With every other technology, including computers, educators recognized its importance and debated how to apply each nascent commercial technology for educational purposes
  • Unfortunately, educators have almost always tried to use technologies to teach students in the same ways that teachers had always taught.
  • computers as productivity tools
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • students should teach the computer or use the technology to represent what they know rather than memorizing what teachers and textbooks tell them.

    This was in use in the classroom I observed during Winter Quarter. It was an excellent tool for the teacher to use, not only to post grades, but to offer kids study guides, etc., that they could access from home. They could also log on from home to complete lessons, etc. And, best of all, it is FREE. With school's on such tight budgets, free products are excelent!

    I think this is a great article because it is about a real life teacher utilizing technology in a real live classroom. So many articles are full of theories or opinions of people that are not in the classroom. It is nice to get a teachers perspective and how technology actually helped her.

    Marybeth, You may like the book Best Ideas for Teaching with technology (http://www.amazon.com/Ideas-Teaching-Technology-Justin-Reich/dp/tags-on-product/0765621320). It is a short, quick read, and focuses specifically on how real teachers are utilizing technology in the classroom. Kellie

    An Arizona elementary school is beefing up its technology toolbox with a new multimedia curriculum in an effort to engage students, teach 21st century skills, and, hopefully, help boost academic achievement. Valerie Gresser wasn't satisfied with the way her students were learning.

    Today's post-secondary students need to be well equipped with technology for their studies, whether in the arts, sciences or welding. Students are faced with many choices when it comes to technology, both in hardware and software. In this great, tech savvy city we are fortunate to have people who not only know their products, but also provide great customer service.
