Virtual learning, digitization and augmented reality make obsolete our old definitions of a classroom in 2020. Unbundled, personalized, and dynamic education is the new normal.

This site enables one to research his/her online options with our database of more than 1,600 schools by filtering his/her choices by subject, degree level, tuition, and more to find an online school that will fit his/her needs.

The world's educational philosophy has been changed , and now that we can reach all off the sources online with a computer and Internet connection. This database is quite a beneficial source in terms of its vast filter and content.

David Wiley's, one of the pioneers in the field of open education, blog is here. You can find many beneficial sources and reflections prepared by him concerning open education.

I am not sure if this link is directly related to social media but this is an online conference about education and technology. Check out the link and register for free for the conference if you wish :)

This infographic presents 5 benefits of using technology in teacher education. One of the benefits that I found interesting was "technology reduces weight". I agree with this benefit a lot. Since I am a commuter as a doctoral student, I feel this benefit deeply. I used to carry huge handbooks and articles for a single presentation or a class reading. I now carry my iPad and use my cloud account on my tech tools, and read everywhere. I feel more comfortable and mobile now with the reduced weight and the less paper.

I like your choice which is simple but clearly describes what the benefits of using technology in the classroom :)

In this link, you will find Pearson's report on social media use in higher education (2013). The report highlights which social media tools faculty members use for personal and professional reasons and their frequency.

Ceren, this link will be very helpful for us in the classroom discussion. Thank you for these detailed survey results. They explain the impact of social media in education, use of social media by different disciplines and by sites. It also gives information about concerns. Very explanatory survey results.

As recent educational research (including educational technology) has implied, context is extremely important to TPACK framework. By "context" it is usually meant classroom, teacher, student, and societal factors. Therefore, the complexities of TPACK do not develop in isolation but in a complex and dynamic relationship with all those contextual factors. However, this study shows that context is usually missing from research about TPACK. In this direction, Rosenberg and Koehler (2015) underscore the importance of including contextual factors in TPACK research and of showing the role of context on teachers' knowledge and practice in terms of technology integration. Personally speaking, I believe TPACK research should not only focus on survey findings but also should be accompanied by complex qualitative data focusing on micro and macro contextual factors.

There is an article about flipped classroom in physical education (PE). It gives general information on what flipped learning is, and why this is a teaching method for the future. Also, it informs to readers how the method can be applied to the subject PE. There is nothing new; the method is the same as the other courses.

This presentation is the most effective ı have ever seen. And also last minutes of the presentaion, it gives important mesages. I again see that technology can change everything in education. In what way? for example as Mishra presented, you can do lecture in your class but it can be followed all around the world even if it is a lecture. You can spread your lecture through the world. If you are a little bit creative, you can develop your presentation or teaching/learning activitives and make them very effective. At that point technology usage is not only using computers or smart boards, it also helps gaining attention, makes your classroom activities more global. Mishra gives emphasis on effective usage of technology. An email can be used as a reminder or a storage area. So the final point is that teachers should be equipped for usaing technology in their classroom not only in sake of using it but also bringing up creative, collaborative, sharer generations.

Hi everyone, This is the Facebook page which gives a lot of technological examples and supports that teachers can use in their classroom. You can follow this on Facebook

we all know that social media have huge effect on leaners life so it should be used in and out class activitiesand twitter is the most famous one that can be used in classes. this gives a lot of ways of twitter usage.

This is not related with this week's topic, yet I found it interesting. SAMR is a framework for integrating technology into the classroom. It may help to assess ourselves as teachers while designing our learning activities.

How can we adopt technology in our classrooms? Check the basics of the technology integration techniques, and TPACK is, of course, one of them.

This visual demonstrates the impact of flipped classrooms onto the teacher outcomes.

Some benefits of flipped classroom

Nice video! short and clear with nice examples :)
