Begin with the standards. What are your students expected to know and/or be able to do as a result of your teaching and THEN how might technology expedite or enhance the learning.
The key here is to actually have students CREATE not just Control-C/Conotrol-V it. Take information from multiple sources, synthesize it, evaluate it, learn it and then create something (a document, a podcast, a digital poster, a Voice Thread and ThingLink) to demonstrate they have learned it.

This is a neat idea. I believe it can be expanded. During class you could give students this document and have it up on the board behind you. Then begin a conversation like usual. This would allow students who to talk out loud and add maybe more refined material on the screen that could say exactly what you would want it to say.
