The visuals provided in this post are excellent! "I usually try to explain and emphasize, that these skills are precisely what are being taught. We are not podcasting in order to teach Audacity nor Garageband. We are not recording students for the fun of using microphone, we are not blogging, so we can practice typing, we are not skyping for the purpose of using a webcam."

This is written regarding post secondary students, but I think that it applies equally well to K-12.

"This new media environment can be enormously disruptive to our current teaching methods and philosophies. As we increasingly move toward an environment of instant and infinite information, it becomes less important for students to know, memorize, or recall information, and more important for them to be able to find, sort, analyze, share, discuss, critique, and create information. They need to move from being simply knowledgeable to being knowledge-able."

"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.

This is a good teaching presentation.  It practices what it preaches.

Twitter, without a doubt, has become the social network for educators to take their professional development into their own hands. Twitter allows teachers to connect with other educators from around the world, join discussions related to their interests and have a steady stream of resources (to help them teach and learn) available to them whenever, whereever and however.

This free, lightweight, web-based application lets anyone, anywhere download, edit and share files created in SMART Notebook software. For educators who do not have SMART Notebook software installed on their computers, SMART Notebook Express enables them to access and customize SMART Notebook content for their teaching needs.
