    Some really great ideas for different Web 2.0 tools in a variety of subject areas.

    Web 2.O Guru, tools by subject, has a plethora of resources in any subject that teachers may find easy to use in the classroom. Teachers can certainly find a tool to incorporate into any lesson at any grade level on this useful sight. The "iGeneration", defined as born into technology, are master multitaskers, social networkers, and electronic communicators (Rosen 2). Using Web 2.0 tools in the classroom or to teach a lesson will be building off of their background knowledge. The lesson can be delivered in a method that is familiar and positive to them, thus improving knowledge retention. Rosen, Larry D., Mark L. Carrier, and Nancy A. Cheever.

    The web has an abundance of resources in Web 2.0 tools for teachers or students. Check this out: http://www.protopage.com/web2point0forteachers#Web_2.0_For_Teachers/ These two are giving me problems in converting them into hyperlinks. What am I doing wrong? http:/edudemic.com/2011/11/best-we-tools/ http://edudemic.com/2010/07/the-35-best-web-2-0-classroom-tools-chosen-by-you/

    I found cool web 2.0 for teachers and students to use. As I stated in the other question, veteran teachers don't like to use technology and these websites can help them and their students incorporate technology Created by Lenva Shearing http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/ Created by Sue Summerford http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/pages/listweb20s.html

    This is one of my favorite websites. All you have do is click on one any of the icons and it will direct you to the page.

    I had heard about this website zooburst and I just signed up it is great. I can't wait to share it with my students. I want them to create a book on a favorite science topic they learned this year. http://www.zooburst.com/index.php?state=login&invaliduser=1

      I think this is the most common place in which we all tend to get stuck. Often, we get excited about trying something new in the classroom, but when we try it the first time, we run into glitches. That is when we go back to the old "safe" ways. We need to find ways as MTTs to help others overcome the fear that we feel when we first fail.
  • Doing old things in old ways
  • This trend is important, but it's hardly new -- it will be new only when those courses, curricula, and lesson plans are very different and technology influenced, when they are set up so they can be found and mixed and matched easily, when they are continually iterated and updated, and when the kids have a big say in their creation.

      This is really important. If teachers just use the technology to teach the same way they have always been teaching, then we will not see much change in the way that students feel about school. Technology needs to transform the way we teach!!!
  • So, let's not just adopt technology into our schools. Let's adapt it, push it, pull it, iterate with it, experiment with it, test it, and redo it, until we reach the point where we and our kids truly feel we've done our very best. Then, let's push it and pull it some more. And let's do it quickly, so the 22nd century doesn't catch us by surprise with too much of our work undone.

      This is certainly not going to be easy to do - but with the changes you are already starting to feel through this program, YOU can be instrumental in making it happen!!! How can you do this/

      This is really rather an important concept. Think about this. We have so much trouble getting kids to work in teams - and here they are self-creating teams and working together to reach a common goal. How can we take this and integrate it into the classroom? Is PBL a way to do this?

    At our school district, students log onto the network using their own account on any terminal within the district, in which they can keep individual files. Although they can't permanently personalize any computer I do always see them changing wallpapers every now and then. Integrating technology into the classroom will have to be more than a method or means. It must go beyond access and utilization. I believe students will have achieved true integration whey they have created something or honed a skill using technology as a tool.

    In the article Shaping Tech For the Classroom, it lays out a visual representation of what is happening in our classrooms throughout our district. While we are trying to keep up with the latest technology, it seems that most teachers are still at a loss as to what should be happening in the classroom with the technology available to us. At the moment, many teachers at our campus have a smart board, student computers with internet access, class response clickers, projectors, EKI machines, digital cameras and new gadget called KINEO that our district Migrant department has provided to our Migrant students. This apparatus is supposed to help our migrant students in leveling their knowledge of math, reading and science skills throught the program WEBACHIEVER. We have had this gadges in our library for about two months and have been used only once because no on has been trained as how to use them. I can say that Donna ISD has done a very good job at providing opportunities for us teachers to get technology savvy but unfortunate, not many have taken that opportunity. We have even had the opportunity to complete technology staff development in our pajamas. As a result of these initiatives by our district, it is safe to say that our district is in the right direction as far as providing us the technology and advancing software that is available to students and teachers. Through MTT Donna right Technology Grant, more teachers will become masters at providing the right tools so that teachers can change their attitudes towards technology. However more training and accountability needs to be in place in order to assure that the technology is being used correctly so our students can compete in the real world.

    Lots of Apple stuff here - but other stuff is available for us Non-MACS.

    Wow! That is a ton of information! I feel like I need to slowly go through each one. I am a Mac enthusiast, and I wish that our district would convert. I feel like we would be able to accomplish a lot more with the different interface. It's much more user friendly--- hence all of the copycats. THank you for sharing such a wonderful list of options!
