EDTECH at Boise State University

I might be breaking the mold here, but I love this program. This is a great program that is open sourced and is better then Inspiration. Tufts University has developed this to help educators better organize visual learning. I beleive that visula learning is just one way to teach to the three types of learning.

Articles and discussions about research (online and offline), libraries, books and media and their (changing) role in the 21st century

Reasons -- and resources! -- for teaching computer science to our students

This is the U.S. Department of Education's 2004 National Education Technology Plan. It is based on input from thousands of students, educators, administrators, technology experts and education organizations. It also builds on the previous reports issued in 1996 and 2000

Besides a rationale for the use of technology in the classroom, this site has lesson plans, printables, rubrics, articles, worksheets, and much more.

This NCREL site contains research results, factors to consider, and implications of using technology to improve student achievement.

This site has the NETS for teachers, students, and administrators. It also has resources, professional development, and research

This site provides a rationale for integrating ThinkQuests into the classroom: students learn important communication skills, teamwork, and technology skills. In addition, there is a library of over 7,000 websites created by students who have participated in a ThinkQuest competition.

Shea Homes is the first national homebuilder to offer an application for the iPhone. Potential buyers can use the app to find information on each model, see prices, and get GPS directions to each home for sale.

This Masters program in Educational Technology has course descriptions that rarely include references to their students learning how to use technology.

This cartoon demonstrates the irony in learning from an anti-technology article presented as an e-book.

Historically, Luddites were people who fought against technology. The modern neo-Luddites have similar beliefs regarding the integration of technology in education.

Abstract: Student Response Technology (SRT) involves the use of hand-held remotes by students during classroom lectures to electronically respond to questions. This study surveyed 350 students enrolled in one of 13 lower-division university science classes taught by five different instructors who used SRT. The survey probed students' perceptions of SRT in terms of enhancing student learning, and investigated which features of SRT students felt had the greatest/least impact on student learning. The majority of students reported that the SRT increased their content understanding, class participation, alertness, and interactions with fellow students, helped with examination preparation, provided important and immediate instructor feedback, and made class more enjoyable. Students in this study scored more positively than peer groups on survey questions related to student engagement in academic and intellectual experiences, suggesting that SRT helps to promote student engagement. Important instructor actions identified during this study that augment the enhancing effects of SRT on student learning, even in large lecture settings, include designing clear, substantive questions, reviewing correct and incorrect answers with students, and making pedagogical adjustments based on class responses.

A look at how students today use the technologies at their disposal.

A great resource for project based learning. There are many links to help you and your students learn while using the web.

I use this site often in my class. There are wonderful lessons which are ready to use and great technology articles and resources.
