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

Examining specific ways in which teachers are bringing new technologies and related practices into the classroom reveals how the writing curriculum of the early 21st century is both an extension of what has come before and an expansion of it.

For those who have preschool children, Crayola provides this website which has great craft ideas. It also contains free coloring pages to help develop the fine motor skill.

A new educational software program being implemented this year in our schools' extended day program is Kids College. This program is through a company named Learning Through Sports. LTD helps students with literacy, math and science. It is an adaptive program that works at each students level. Teachers do not always have the time to differentiate instruction. This program adapts to the students level and works on the gaps in their knowledge. The way the program works is that it motivates the students using their competitive nature. Student chose a team and the sport they want to play. The level they are working on is independent of their contribution to the success of the team. The team succeeds as long as the student succeeds. After answering questions they move through the levels by participating in the sport of their choice. The sports they students can play are: basketball, snowboard, golf, foosball, hockey, rugby or baseball. The video games have wonderful graphics which are attractive to the players. The program is aligned with the state standards and the common core standards. It provides reports of students success for teachers, students and parents.

Interesting commentary and opinion on the best reasons to use iPads in school, as well as scenarios in which it is best to use a different technology.

An intriguing beta release which allows you to log the Creative Commons-licensed images you've obtained from Flickr. While Creative Commons licenses are non-revocable, some have grown concerned that a copyright holder might change the CC status of images displayed on Flickr and fear that the burden of proof would then fall to themselves as the "user" of the image(s). This tool would seem to address that problem.

The Best Practice Web site provides information to help college leaders develop innovative solutions to challenges which face their institutions. The Web site may be utilized to learn about new techniques, improve processes, create new programs, make current programs more effective and enhance outreach. This site also offers an opportunity for users to access information on successful programs/strategies and share knowledge. Information regarding exemplary programs within Florida's College system may be submitted to the Division by following the link "Submit Best Practice" below.

From the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative's "7 Things You Should Know About..." series, which provides concise information on emerging technologies and practices. "...badges offer an opportunity to reevaluate credentials, expanding their role by making otherwise hidden accomplishments visible."

The "7 Things You Should Know About..." series provide quick reads with concise information about emerging technologies and practices. The Campus-Wide IT section addresses professional challenges in higher education, while the Learning Technology section discusses individual technologies or practices. I could bookmark at least a dozen of these relevant articles (microlectures, social content curation, educational design research, e-readers, cloud computing, and so on), which is why I'm saving the main page instead.

Can be used to post questions to students, which they can access via computer or any other type of i-pad, i-phone or android. Also can be used for real time responses during class
