This is a website providing many articles about technology in the classroom. The articles vary from distance education, to visual media, to acess and the digital divide, etc. This website can provide insight for the most successful ways we can all incorporate technology.

Wonderful resource, Emily. I hope you added this to your RESOURCES page on your Google site!

This article addresses five myths about using technology in education.  The report was released at the 2010 ISTE conference.  It is a long article but you can always just read the five myths as a summary if you do not want to read the full report.  It has great links on the resource page at the end of the article (p32).  

A great resource for future art teachers! Art tutorials organized by medium. Blogs, Lesson Plan Resources, Virtual Lessons, etc.

In this article, it addresses the technology that is locked away in classrooms because it takes too much time to successfully implement them in the classroom. Technology has been proven successful in the classroom by individualizing learning for students. Technology can help the teacher track the progress of students and free up time to work on other skills (problem solving, critical thinking and social development). This article has additional resources about technology in the classroom. Janice Rose

Good find Janice! :)

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.

Great resource listing many tricks to use with Google. You'll find everything from how to split the screen to "blinging out your icon." I definitely want to re-visit this site on my own personal computer.

Teacher Share!  This is great!

Not sure if this has been posted yet (there are more and more articles to comb through), but I thought this was a great article. This article features eleven online programs that can be used in the classroom. I love this list because a few of these resources are ones I can use with my video project! However, I kind of think some of these are "cheating" because not all of them are free :(

GREAT website for political cartoons. Since my lesson plan assignment is to create a political cartoon involving US foreign policy, this would be very useful for me. Also a great resource to show what cartoons are great and what ones are not-so-great (or WAY politically-incorrect)

Technology helping teachers work together in the classroom.

I have been looking for some good ideas on how to incorporate technology in the classroom to help stimulate discussion on the election. I love Mary Beth's idea of having the kids take an on-line poll where they choose which side of an issue they agree with, then learn which candidate supports that side. She also adds a couple extra sites as resources for teachers to use during this election cycle.

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.

Interview on NPR's Fresh Air with MIT professor on ways in which digital usage effects teens and adults differently. It also highlights challanges presented to teens by needing to constantly create a digital persona

Thank you for reminding me of the wonderful resources on NPR. I need to delve deeper into this site!

This article is exactly what the title describes. 10 technologies that educators should know about. I bookmarked another article which dives further into the concept of "flip teaching", which is not so much a technology but a method.

You'll want to come back to this assignment for your Digital Skills Presentation! I couldn't believe all of the links--hopefully, you tied some to your resources on your site.

This is an amazing resource for Social Studies teachers. There are archives for many podcasts by professionals pertaining to the social sciences in education. Definitely a site to revist and spend some time listening to the podcasts and becoming familiar with some very knowledgable people in the field.

Ultimate twitter-guidebook is full of resources. It list different areas including making the most of twitter, twitter educators, how to use twitter in the classroom, apps, and fun twitter experiments just to mention a few. I beleive this is a great resouce to have on hand.
