    This article explores the use of mobile phones for education purposes. The author says that instead of banning the use of cell phones and smart phones in school, teachers should embrace this technology and teach students how to utilize mobile capabilities in constructive and educationally appropriate ways. This gives a fresh perspective on the outlook of cell phones in schools and would be a great article for a teacher who might be reluctant to let students use mobile devices in class.

    Lots of opposing viewpoints on the use of cell phones in the classroom! Will you let your students use them?

    This article raises the issue that teachers are constantly being thrown new technologies in their classrooms. It's the job of school districts to make sure that teachers using new technology are aware of how to fully utilize these items. I completely agree that districts have to step up and make better efforts to educate teachers on the inevitable growth of technology in the classroom.

    In this interview, Bill Gates discusses why he thinks "a low-cost PC" may be a more effective learning aid than a tablet. We're all aware of the obvious business biases here, but as a clearly defined leader in the world of technology, I think Gates presents a valid argument. What good is a tech device of any sort if the curriculum fails to effectively incorporate it as a learning aid?

    Lots of talk out there about the technology tools without paying much attention to how it will be used. Good find!

    This blog post gives some suggestions for useful iPhone/iPad apps for the classroom. This teacher, Kate Petty, is also blogging about "flipping" her English classroom this year and trying a 20 percent project. Her writing is clean and simple, easy-to-read.

    This article highlights a couple really cool ipad apps that can be used in a high school math classroom. Everyone in my brother and sister's high school were issued ipads at the start of this school year so I really want to borrow one of their ipads and play around with these apps. I wasn't sure how I could introduce technology in my classroom and this article provided a few useful ways.

    Great resource (again post to your page on your Google Site!). Some day you might be in a room with an iPad. I wish I could take high school again and focus on math. I could get the grades but I was NEVER confident.

    I clicked on the link to iPad apps and it took me to a price page on the iPad. I don't know if ShowMe (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/showme-interactive-whiteboard/id445066279?mt=8) was listed as one of the apps, but that is a must-have app in the math classroom! :)

    Richard Byrne is an AMAZING educator with great resources. He highlights an extension for Chrome that automatically highlights vocabulary words for standardized tests (high school/college) and then defines with the hover of a mouse. The video is pretty impressive. This would be a wonderful tool for my students in my English classroom.

    Educational technology journalist, Audrey Watters, explains that although a large percentage of people have cellular devices, only a small percentage of those are smart phones. She also speaks on the digital divide of only being able to access internet on your phone and not a home computer for a small percentage of Americans. She concludes that online learning places need to be expanded for mobile devices if we wish to include everyone in the digital age.

    This post answers the age old question "What do "real' teachers do with their Saturday morning other than sleep?" As a result of a great twitter national education forum on NPR's "Tell Me More" I came across this story of 200 teachers who get together on twitter every Saturday morning to discuss best practices.

    This article lobbied for instructors to teach ethical cyberspace behaviors in classrooms of all ages. It cited several schools all over the nation that have online behavior contracts and educational check marks in their curriculum regarding e-ethics. The article stated that kids have to be taught this because behavior in the e-world doesn't translate directly to behaviors in the real world.

    This article is published by Reading Rockets, an organization that helps teach students to read. The article gives an overview of some of the key elements of a warm, supportive, and engaging classroom. The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) grades a room and then encourages teachers to make some changes for student success.

    I liked this article because it talked about podcasts and RSS feeds (push instead of pulling resources off the web), as well as some of the other tools. I don't always remember that in a pinch,instrucutional information videos are often available on YouTube. I also thought it was interesting that this author talked about knowing how to use social media sites ... and when not to.

    A new study is being conducted to see whether or not use of 3D technology in the classroom enhances the learning experience. The results showed an increase in test scores, attentiveness, and student's ability to recall information. The study was conducted in the UK and involved 740 students age 10-13.

    This article examines how to use twitter in a college classroom, but it was very insightful for high school classes as well. The article lists five uses of twitter that benefit the classroom: Bringing clients to class, learning to be concise, creating character, teaching about social media, and creating a brand. The article said technology for the sake of technology, in this case twitter, isn't the goal; rather we should focus on how to select the right technology for the right occasion.
