EDIT 7500 @ UGA

New Zealand's Manukau Family Literacy Program shows that parents and children can help educate each other.

Tap into the Web and learn how to preserve our planet -- and help others learn how, too. Lesson plans on environmental issues and recycling.

Teachers find that audio books are sound reading tools. Students listen to recorded books while following along on paper. The process is repeated until they can read the books independently.

Use two fun Web 2.0 sites: LibraryThing and Goodreads. Both are fantastic book-oriented and library-oriented social-networking pages focused on something simple -- the books you love to read. Students can use sites to share book recommendations with one another.

A new font for dyslexics makes sentences a snap. Read Regular treats individual letters as unique shapes so that the traditional uniformity of letters in many fonts doesn't so easily confound the struggling reader.

Slow readers practice reading to non-judgmental canine friends. Dogs and their trainers visit schools, libraries, and bookstores to provide opportunities for students with reading disabilities to read to the dogs.

Collaborative tool that can utilize various types of media and allow commenting through voice, text, audio file, and video. The person commenting can also draw on the visual and it will by synched with their comment. Educators can purchase a one time $10 membership to put more restrictions on access.

Teachers could use this tool to post images, videos, or slideshows and have each student share their ideas about what was presented. This would give all students a chance to express their thoughts. I believe the teacher can hold the comments until she is ready to release them so students can't base their comments on the other comments they heard. I also liked the idea that it could be moderated by the creator of the Voicethread. Students could also use it as a presentation tool.

This is a very cool tool. I came across it this weekend while searching for something for my Cool Tools Demo and immediately put it down as one of the things I wanted to talk about. I just noticed you just posted this, so I hope I don't steal your thunder! It is something I would love to learn more about and actually use at some point, though. SlideShare is a similar program I came across and signed up for as well. I'll post that bookmark for the group.

Online library of free resourses - collection is from public televison.

Mr. Coley's classroom website has several interesting uses of technology. I particularly enjoy The Daily Blog, ColeyCast, StudyCast, iPod Flash Cards, Classroom Taxes, and his generous "How To" explanations.

PowerPoint Games and templates.

This is my own set of bookmarks that I've collected around this course for awhile. I haven't reviewed them in awhile, so some may no longer be good.

A new tool being developed by the folks at Mozilla that allows for easy website creation.

Emerging technologies hold great promise for teaching and learning in the classroom, but how can teachers make sense of and keep up with it all? This session will provide an overview of some of the free and available computer-based tools and services ready to be incorporated into the classroom.
