Reagrding the differences between traditional and digital technologies: --Virtually all the traditional technologies share three characteristics: specificity, stability, and transparency (see  Figure 3). traditional classroom technologies have specific uses, are relatively stable over time, and are transparent or easy to understand.  The truth of Koehler & Mishra's (2009) statement that ―digital technologies-such as  computers, handheld devices, and software applications-by contrast, are protean (usable  in many different ways . . .); unstable (rapidly changing); and opaque (the inner workings  are hidden from users)‖ is demonstrated daily in preservice and inservice teacher  development programs where teachers struggle to understand how to use a range of digital technologies and why they should

I have never thought to use angry birds for educatonal purposes but it will be great to teach about projectile motion.

Here's a list of applications for science education. Please install iCell, Solar explorer lite, and electric box on your mobile phones and tablets. We'll try them together, tomorrow.

This short article presents 5 web 2.0 applications to be used in a flipped classroom.

Science NetLinks reviews STEM-related apps for both the iPad and the Android.

Do you see any potential applications for teacher education?

We hope to find and bring those glasses to class :) If we can't, we will watch this video together :) thank you !

This paper is written to help in-service English teachers in terms of integrating Computer-Assisted Language Learning into their classrooms. It basically explains the principles and significance of TPACK and offers a workshop in which all these are told for English teachers. It proposes the steps of "modeling, analysis, demonstration, application, and reflection" in order to utilize instructional technologies according to learner and teacher needs.

"Join over 33 million teachers and students safely connecting in online classrooms, collaborating on assignments, discovering new resources, and more!"

* Edmodo is an online networking application for teachers and students. * Think Facebook, but in a safe and controlled environment appropriate for school edmodo is primarily a tool for within class communication, but it also provides several ways for teachers to connect with other teachers. * Over 500,000students are using edmodo worldwide

A flipped class keeps student learning at the center of teaching by enabling instructors to guide their students higher levels of application and deeper thinking. This table shows the differences in the student experience of a traditional and flipped class.

After having run across with this virtual reality platform while reading through the last week's article, I have been exploring it to see how I can facilitate it in my workplace. It's kinda Second Life application which might cause you to become virtual reality life addicts. Highly catchy, highly recommended :)

and I think it has free trial demo for all of us.

The review highlights the pros and cons of facilitating weblogs for Englsih language teaching.

In this infographic we can see what devices can be most important to academic success for undergraduate students and their contribution percentages to success. Also, for what they are using those devices can be seen such as accessing syllabi and using course management systems, as we are also doing currently, and checking their grades. In addition, we can easily say that taking a class completely online is getting higher year by year. One of the interesting points of this infographic for me is that students said technology helps them feel connected to other students and their instructors and what's going on at the institution.

I like this infographic, it is speaking with data. It shows the most common devices used and also the applications. I think when we think the fast development of technology, this is a good representation.

An infographic on technology AND education. This infographic compares 2002 and 2012 in internet usage. Quantitative (the what) and qualitative (the how and why) perpectives.

I love how it shows the most searched items. You can clearly see what the trends were back then.

Seeing the enormous increase in the number of people using Facebook (from 3 to 900 million users), time spent on the Internet (46 minutes to 4 hours) made me think back about Punya Mishra's (at SITE Keynote) comment on making learning process a part of student's daily life. e.g. a class discussion or course content carried out on Facebook which can increase student participation. Inserting education to top trend websites or applications might be a useful idea to reflect upon.

It is one flipped classroom case from Turkish school. A social science teacher used flipped classroom model and it is one of the best application of fliiped classroom.

that's great! A very talented and skillful teacher there. I wonder how he comes up with so many different activities. He takes learner-centeredness to a whole new-level with that teacher-assistanship system.
