Education Technology

CyberSmart! original, nonsequential standards-based lesson plans and student activity sheets have students think critically about the Internet as a communication and collaboration tool and consider how their futures will be affected by rapidly changing digital technologies.

ePub Bud is a site that has been getting a lot of press online lately and for good reason; it is a great new site for creating your very own digital book. However, there is a lot more you can do then just that...you can also upload any file and turn it into an ebook (a la Bookrix), and best of all mail in an actual book and have them convert to digital format. This is something I have not seen from any other site before.

A YouTube-style set directed at kids.

Today's students have grown up with digital technologies at their fingertips. For this generation, using Web 2.0 tools at school can make learning an active rather than passive medium, which enriches the learning process. With Web 2.0 technologies students can collaborate with others, create projects, communicate the results to a real audience, and receive valuable feedback. Web 2.0 tools can enhance teaching opportunities and better equip students with the 21st-century skills necessary for their future. But because these web-based technologies can mean security challenges and content issues, many schools shy away from providing them on district networks. Attend this informative webinar to hear an expert's analysis of the advantages and dangers of Web 2.0, find out the results of this national survey, discover innovative strategies for balancing learning and safety, and hear a real-world story of how one district has effectively implemented Web 2.0 tools in the classroom.
