"Not every educator should be expected to use all of these technologies in the classroom, but every educator should understand what these are, the potential they have in the classroom, and how their students may already be using them. "

These skills are based on the new 2009 ISTE adminstrator technology standards. The standards will provide a framework for educators to use as they transition schools and their classrooms to places of learning relevant for today's learner. This rubric will guide you in determining your level of use of technology and 21st century skills personally and with students.

"Here you will find a growing collection of some of our favourite videos on 'Educational Change'. Why not use some of these videos at staff meetings and professional learning opportunities to start discussions and conversations about teaching and learning in the 21st century."

Most of you may have seen most of these videos but it is nice to have them in one place.

Northeast School Division Wiki for all things Web 2.0 and computerish.

Welcome to the überShare Wiki - educational resources for use in ICT. In an attempt to take a collaborative approach to Infusing Learning Technology into the Classroom we have begun a wiki that all can post resources, ideas and student projects and samples to. This is a joint project begun between the Horizon School Division and North East School Division. This resource is for anyone to use and add to. It is hoped that this resource would be an ongoing resource for any teacher not just the teachers who have begun its creation! This is for you!

More and more special education teachers are finding that the implementation of "Wii Therapy" in their classrooms enables special needs students to break down barriers and develop skills they might not otherwise be able to learn.

So often when we talk about schools, students, parents and teachers, we discuss things in arm-lengths type of way. We discuss how they need to have richer and more meaningful learning experiences, how we need to provide them with the opportunities to use the technological tools in authentic learning experiences. What we don't discuss is how schools need to be places of living not just of learning. They need to be places of community where children can experience life-lessons not just academic lessons. The story that follows is about one such event that took place at our school this past year.

Great tool.  Put in a video and it analyzes the motion from that video.
