    This is a great resource! I saved it to my own bookmarks for future use. I can definitely see how this will be useful for me in the classroom. I teach middle school I believe that many elementary apps can be translated into middle school. This is definitely geared towards teacher use which is what I like about it. Pinterest is a great resource and sometimes I forget to use it when I should!

    Thank you for sharing this! There are some great apps on this page. I am always looking for new apps for kids to use and this is a great resource. I have it bookmarked!
  • Morgan McFate on 12 Oct 15
     
    There are a so many of these lists out on pinterest anymore. I think it would be interesting to compare what apps tend to make the lists on more than one? I do love this site though and like that someone has spelled out exactly what can be used for teachers in the future.

    Using the STEM project in Elementary Schools
  • Brandon Hayes on 12 Oct 15
     
    This resource will be useful in future classrooms because it gives a very nice perspective of how things are going currently with STEM. I think this article would be most useful to teachers looking for ways to improve things but it might also be useful for students or parents who want to know more about the how's and why's of what is being taught. I have not found any articles of this type in my searching.

    Helpful article. I thought it was interesting because my elementary school just switched to 1:1 with iPads this year.

    I thought this was a great article! It gives wonderful advice on how to correct the mistakes that are made with iPads in schools. This would definitely be a great resource for teachers to use to gauge how they are using iPads within their own classrooms and to remember how to keep iPad use effective and meaningful. Great find! :)

    This is an excellent article to forward onto your administrators (as I just did!) so that they can understand the common pitfalls for technology use in the classroom. In my building, we have a classroom set of iPads that can be checked out and they have been used for all kinds of assignments and subject areas. As the kids will report, some teachers know how to use them effectively, and others are just using them for the sake of doing it. I've also read a couple of articles that I'll have to try and come back and link, but a few very large school districts have been in the news for the issues that they've been having with iPads in the classroom. The issue seemed to be that they scaled their programs way too quickly, did not train their educators properly, and did not look at the liability piece that comes along with giving students access to certain apps and features.
  • Paige Blocker on 13 Oct 13
     
    Nicole, this is an awesome article. I like how it shows the 5 mistakes and ways to correct those. I think this article would be great for teachers as some are unaware of how to use iPads or how to use them for the right reason. I feel like if you have the right apps on the iPad for the correct age group they can be very educational. Personally, young kids are learning to work this and enjoy doing this. I had a boy I nannied he loved playing on the iPad at age 4! He was allowed to play educational games and have books read to him, etc.
  • Austin Jacobson on 13 Oct 13
     
    Nichol, I definitely agree with the things this article is saying! I think the fact the lack of Teacher Preparation in Classroom Management of iPads is a big one. How are we suppose to be incorporating this technology when we don't even know how to use it ourselves? Many people assume it works like a laptop when it does not. I definitely think this is an article teachers should read before trying to bring ipads into the classroom! Great article!
  • James Reinhard on 23 Oct 14
     
    With so many articles on 'what you should do' it's a nice change of pace to see 'what your doing wrong' kind of article. I went into it thinking it was going show how students are misusing ipads, so I especially liked how it was aimed towards educators telling them how they are going to misuse them. I see a lot of what we've read for class already in this article, it helps reinforce the lessons.
  • akmuni on 07 Oct 15
     
    I agree with this article and its must be obvious to anyone who has used an iPad why this information is important. The iPad is a tool and is effective for certain types of task. It's not a replacement for a computer. Due to the low cost and ease of operation the wow factor could cause someone to lose sight of the purpose of application. This article is more important for the designer of curriculum and the teacher who have input. One recently large lawsuit resulted from a one billion dollar purchase of iPad for a California school district.

Using this code, your students log in to your class network. Here, they can answer questions, collaborate on problems, and even embed pictures and videos. As a teacher you have full control over the network. You can even add other teachers!" Great adaptable social media for kids

    Erin this looks like a great website. Although I won't be able to use it in my classroom, I can definitely see how it would be beneficial for grade school and middle school teachers. I think this will be a great resource for both students and teachers, and is very interactive. The pictures just "pop" off the page and provides great educational opportunities for students.

    This looks like an awesome website for students who are researching about marine life. There is a lot to look at and search on this website. I think I would enjoy using this website in my classroom someday.
  • Austin Jacobson on 13 Oct 13
     
    Erin, this looks like a really great website for educators! I noticed they have a section just for educators where you can see lesson plans and activities! That is so awesome! I definitely agree with Megan I can see this being used more in an elementary or middle school setting but I think it would be a great resource!
  • Kim McCoy-Parker on 14 Oct 13
     
    Erin - I really like the layout of this site I think it could be a valuable site for sharing rich photos and videos for science classes I also think this resource could be used as a credible research resource for students. Here is another well done science site that is very similar. http://goo.gl/WULg4n

    Erin this looks like a great site for students who want to learn about the ocean. When I visited it I noticed just how easy the site was to navigate. Super simple for people who might now be to tech savvy. Everything was laid out in an easy to read manner. The articles looked fun and full of information. If I ever became a teacher and we were learning about the ocean this would be a huge help, because the Smithsonian is one of the most prestigious organizations in the world. The Smithsonian has many different interactive website that deal with all different parts of our planet, and the ocean is just on small sliver of their knowledge.

  • The positive response from families was immediate. Working parents tell Kathleen that they check the site each day before going home or picking up their child from school.
  • Other emails come from teachers and students from across the country who find information about Kathleen’s site through the George Lucas Educational Foundation (GLEF), which posted an article and video highlighting the use of technology to create community with parents and students at Scroggs Elementary.

    I loved this article! It reminded me a lot of the Horizon report on what is trending. Many of these we are already incorporating at my school and in my library like the coding, augmented reality, robotics and makerspaces. I also liked that they included student privacy as a trend. This is something many people overlook at the elementary level, but it is still extremely important!

    This was an awesome article. Like Staci said, it reminded me of the Horizon Report. Knowing what the current trends are now will definitely influence my future classrooms. Also, I am working on figuring out how to use virtual reality and augmented reality in my current Earth Science classrooms. I feel like this article was mainly written for teachers, and not students. The Horizon Report is very similar to this, in fact it was even mentioned in this article.

    This was a very informational article. It did a nice job of discussing the current trends in education and technology. I try to stay current on the hot topics in both education and technology by attending conferences and reading researched based articles like this. It often becomes overwhelming trying to decide which practices will benefit my classroom and students the most at a current time.
