    Wow, this is an awesome resource! I definitely use twitter, youtube good apps, and skype. The other tools are new to me and I think they are awesome!!! Edmodo is a site where students and teachers can share their sites and resources and even look at their grades and a lot more! I think learning about all these different tools is really awesome and I can't wait to learn more! -Austin

    This list is a great resource and I believe I could use this in my future classroom. If I am in a classroom with technology readily available I think many of the web 2.0 tools listed in this article could be put to good use! I believe this resource is intended for teachers but will benefit students and teachers alike when these tools are implemented into the classroom. I found this article "The 100 Best Web 2.0 Classroom Tools Chosen By You," http://www.edudemic.com/best-web-tools/. This list was published a year after the article you posted so you might want to check out this list as well! Thank you for your resource!

    This quick article went through 35 web 2.0 tools. I like this list because it has some of the easier things to work with (Prezi, Twitter) to some more advanced things like Diigo and Wikispaces.

    I love lists like this because it is so much easier to rely on someone else's compilation as a starting point rather than gathering tools on your own.

    We all hear we should be using Twitter to enhance our classroom, but where do you start? I would like to incorporate Twitter into my classroom and I think this is a great resource to start up with. Please use this if you are looking to incorporate Twitter into your classroom!

    Use social media in the classroom. Students are using social media daily why not use it as a learning tool as well.

    I think it is important since social media is implemented in students lives, I think it is necessary to keep up with the trends and use it in the classroom.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    The main thing that makes this blog post l is the youtube video embedded at the bottom. Sir Ken Robinson, critically evaluates the current school system and shows how it needs to be changed to prepare students for the jobs that do not even exist yet
  • Laura H. on 11 Oct 15
     
    Sir Ken Robinson is one of my favorite educational speakers. His Ted Talks are all amazing. I like this resource just for its usefulness in making people think. It would make a great tool for teachers to take to administrators who are reluctant to move towards a new teaching style or technology implementation. I am lucky enough to work with an administration that already thinks this way, but I know that there are some districts that do not see a need for a change in our education system. I also think that every parent and student also need to see this video. It is important to understand why your teachers are trying new things and teaching new skills. It helps when everyone is on board. Thanks for sharing this source!

    Great find for all teachers. I think many teachers, including college professors are falling behind in this. I think the higher ed people need to replace their training manuals with this.

    I agree that I could efficiently use this resource in my future classroom to an extent. Because the article only outlines reasons why social media should be used in a classroom, there are no specific ways mentioned on how to integrate social media... there are only a list of benefits to using it. I believe this article could be intended for teacher or student use because it allows both teachers and students to understand the benefits and purposes of using social media in the classroom. One similar resource that could also be considered is "How to use Social Media as a Learning Tool": http://www.edudemic.com/how-to-use-social-media-as-a-learning-tool-in-the-classroom/. This site seems more beneficial to me because it specifically offers ways for teachers to implement social media in the classroom (rather than just stating advantages), such as a class Facebook group, Twitter feed, blog post, YouTube videos, and Instagram. Are you aware of any similar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources?

    You also have to keep in mind the overall purpose of social media being in the classroom.
