    "3 Tips on Integrating Technology in the Classroom Former Gov. Bob Wise discusses Digital Learning Day and how high school teachers can embrace technology. By Laura McMullen Jan. 25, 2012 SHARE Integrating technology into a high school classroom isn't a one-step process. "You can't just slap a netbook [computer] on top of a textbook and say, 'Great, now we have technology," says Bob Wise, former governor of West Virginia and president of the Alliance for Excellent Education, an advocacy organization. Wise says that digital learning starts with teachers, whose performance is enhanced by technology-not the other way around. That's also the idea of Digital Learning Day, which the Alliance is spearheading. The first annual Digital Learning Day falls on February 1 and will celebrate innovative K-12 instructors who successfully bring technology into the classroom by assigning online course content, using adaptive software for students with special needs, and utilizing online student assessments and other digital tools. Educators, as well as parents, students, librarians, and community leaders, can learn about classroom innovations and get new ideas by chiming in during the virtual National Town Hall meeting held on Digital Learning Day.

    Such a fun tool! It's a free and diverse visual drawing piece. If I were using this in the classroom, I might do it to create graphic organizers, which would be highly helpful! It also allows you to upload images, text and documents and mark them up with simple "paint" type tools. Very useful!

Google Swiffy - 1 views

    Basically, this is a helpful google tool called "Swiffy". Many computers (like iPads) do not yet allow for the use of "flash" content, which is how most video clips and visuals work. This handy tool essentially converts files rapidly into HTML5, giving individuals with incompatible software the opportunity to access all Flash SWF files. It's easy to just upload the file and convert with a click of the mouse!

It has four main tools and services: The Renzulli Profiler, Differentiation Engine, Grouping and Reporting Tools, and Personal Success Plan. The Renzulli Profiler uses a strengths based assessment to find out a student's top three strengths, interests, and learning and expression styles. The Grouping and Reporting Tool then takes these results and uses them to group students.
