The Tennessee Board of Regents sponsors a project in "Mobilization & Emerging Technology" including the "Mobile Apps Resource Bank." Tens of thousands of mobile apps are categorized by educational function. Know a great app that isn't in the resource bank? You can add it for consideration/peer review!

Students can publish their writing! I have noticed an increase of motivation: one, they have to go through the steps of the writing process to log on to KidBlog because they only use it to publish and two, students truly think about their writing because their peers will be reading and commenting in on it. You can also open up their blogs for the world to view and comment! I cannot say enough great things about this site.

Great way to search for peer-reviewed (scholarly) articles and research papers. Thanks, Google!

I could not have said this any better!! "... In the past, online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom. But going forward, interactions will be key. Just as people engage in online interactions-around virtual sports teams, cooking, or whatever-students will be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom" My previous online classes I felt really alone. There was no collaboration except for group assignment. We all had a name but no identity. However, in today's learning environment, online learning is anything but boring and lonely. There are endless ways to connect. Being able to connect with classmates/peers and share information can be very rewarding. .

By Wendy S. Bray elling children that they can learn from their mistakes is common practice. Yet research indicates that many teachers in the United States limit public attention to errors during math- ematics lessons (Bray 2011; Santagata 2005). Some believe that drawing attention to errors publicly may embarrass error m
