    This website a list of Web 2.0 tools you can use with your students when you want them to be collaborating, communicating, creating, critical thinking, and processing information. Many of the tools come with tutorials and explanations of how teachers have incorporated the tool into their classrooms.

    This is quite the resource for teachers. It addressed many areas and included additional links to various tools. I plan to dig a little deeper into this one. I may not be able to use the actual resource as I am limited by my organizations IT rules, but perhaps I can utilize the resources I have in similar ways.

    I enjoyed the many resources this website had to offer. This tool would be great for teachers looking for new web 2.o tools. I have attended online conferences and taken classes that have addressed other great tools as well. I this this tool could help me prepare for a class because it provides many resources.

    I like this resource because of the tools listed. This tool would be helpful for teachers looking to expand their toolbox of online tools. Can't wait to try some.

    You found a great web resource for Web 2.0. The reason I particularly like this site is because the writer concisely links these skills to future utilization in adult life. The idea of purpose gives the user a sense of motivation to engage this resource. My favorite resources are the official Google apps blogs for Work and Education.

    I like this resource because of the tools listed and how they are grouped. I think it would be very helpful for teachers searching for new tools to use in their classrooms as well as helping them figure out how to align them with the common core standards.
  • Sarah Ebener on 10 Oct 15
     
    Wow, love the extensive lists and all of the ideas they have here. It helps to keep them all together on this site so I can remember where to look when I want to variety of ideas for something. Whenever I feel like I want to change up a lesson or add something "spicier" to it, I often turn to something-tech related, so now I can turn here. Thanks! I think this could be helpful for any teachers looking to add a little spice to their lessons. I always "pin" stuff like that, too, to keep all of my ideas collected together.

    I love the part of this article that encourages educators to think of a lesson that needs some life and then to look at web 2.0 tools! Also there is a link that brings you to effective communication tools for web 2.0 that I found helpful. Definitely a great teacher tool so that they have a place to go to for ideas for sprucing up a lesson. Teachers are really starting to come around to ideas like this, and I see more integration in lessons everyday. Definitely check out the twitter handle!

    This is a great resource! I actually just found this website today myself. I will have to follow them on Twitter. I like this article because it puts the ideas into a bulleted list. This way you can see the main points they want to make. I have found that I really like that about articles on Edutopia. What a great, teacher centered, article!

    Alexis, I think this is a great resource for integrating technology in the classroom. I really like that it includes specific ideas and examples. While this resource is primarily aimed at teachers, the examples are definitely aimed at developing student activities. As a teacher, this is a great starting point for beginning technology integration. Edutopia seems to be a great resource overall, and I enjoyed looking through some of their other articles as well!

  • This means free access to some great tools: An online gradebook, customized quizzes, a debate tool, chat, classroom blogs, the ability to track proficiency and a customized portal page.
  • This app gives teachers four discussion format choices. Students can either agree or disagree with a statement, answer a multiple choice question, post responses, or have the choice between adding a new response or voting for someone else's response.

    Megan, Thanks for sharing this website with us. I have worked with a Tech Director who used Symbaloo, and it was an extremely organized way to share resources with other teachers. I highly suggest Symbaloo! Teachers, parents, and students used the Symbaloo page in this district. For example, if you were a 3rd grade teacher, you could click on the 3rd grade page. Next, click on the subject you are interested in. Let's say you want to help a student with math. Once you've clicked on the math page, it may even be broken down into more categories (such as decimals). You will then find LOTS of resources that a student can use to help them with decimals. Very cool and organized!!! Amanda

    I can use the resources posted on this site in my classroom to enhance learning. These resources can be used by both teachers and students for interactive learning experiences. I am familiar with Edmodo and I like the many features it offers to teachers and students. In my school we use Canvas, which is based on a similar concept. However the Edmodo interface is very similar to Facebook which can be more user friendly for students.
  • Brandon Hayes on 12 Oct 15
     
    This resource is valuable to students and teachers. The first video on talks about how it can be used by anyone. My concern is that the video was made in 2007. That seems like a long time ago I wonder what the updated video looks like? I am very glad to hear there are alternatives to Blackboard and Google classroom but I wonder if the alternatives to these big shots work the same?

  • 12 Ways Teachers are Using Social Media in the Classroom Right Now Tweet or post status updates as a class. Teacher Karen Lirenman lets students propose nuggets of learning that are posted for parents to read. Write blog posts about what students are learning. Teacher Kevin Jarrett blogs reflections about his Elementary STEM lab for parents to read each week. Let your students write for the world. Linda Yollis' students reflect about learning and classroom happenings. Connect to other classrooms through social media. Joli Barker is fearlessly connecting her classroom through a variety of media. Use Facebook to get feedback for your students' online science fair projects. Teacher Jamie Ewing is doing this now, as he shared recently. Use YouTube for your students to host a show or a podcast. Don Wettrick's students hosted the Focus Show online and now share their work on a podcast. Create Twitter accounts for a special interest projects. My student Morgan spent two years testing and researching the best apps for kids with autism (with the help of three "recruits"), and her work just won her an NCWIT Award for the State of Georgia.
  • Ask questions to engage your students in authentic learning. Tom Barrett did this when his class studied probability by asking about the weather in various locations. Communicate with other classrooms. The Global Read Aloud, Global Classroom Project and Physics of the Future are three examples of how teachers use social media to connect their students as they collaborate and communicate. Create projects with other teachers. (Full disclosure: I co-created Physics of the Future with Aaron Maurer, a fellow educator I first met on Twitter.) Share your learning with the world. My students are creating an Encyclopedia of Learning Games with Dr. Lee Graham's grad students at the University of Alaska Southeast. The educators are testing the games, and the students are testing them, too. Further a cause that you care about. Mrs. Stadler's classes are working to save the rhinos in South Africa, and Angela Maiers has thousands of kids choosing to matter.

  • The myth about social media in the classroom is that if you use it, kids will be Tweeting, Facebooking and Snapchat
  • If you're going to ignore social media in the classroom, then throw out the ISTE Standards for Students and stop pretending that you're 21st century.
  • Tweet or post status updates as a class. Teacher Karen Lirenman lets students propose nuggets of learning that are posted for parents to read.

  • Further a cause that you care about. Mrs. Stadler's classes are working to save the rhinos in South Africa, and Angela Maiers has thousands of kids choosing to matter.
  • Surely students will post thousands of status updates, pictures, and blogs in their lifetime.
  • If you're going to ignore social media in the classroom, then throw out the ISTE Standards for Students and stop pretending that you're 21st century. Stop pretending that you're helping low-income children overcome the digital divide if you aren't going to teach them how to communicate online.
  • Don't mistake social media for socializing. They're different -- just as kids talking as they work in groups or talking while hanging out are different.
  • Fictional twitter accounts! I just wanted to share something that I have really gotten a kick out of recently. I started a Twitter account for Holden Caulfield @_therealholden_ and "Holden" tweets updates that center on our reading of The Catcher in the Rye. Students can interact and the whole thing has been a lot of fun.

    This is a great article that explains different ways to use social media in the classroom. One idea that I wanted to share, but it was not on there, was this idea about having a Twitter Debate. I heard about it in a webcast that I watched last week. I think this could also be a very effective tool for students who are trying to get their point across. They would have to find an article to support their point, and by using Twitter and limiting them to 140 characters, it would force them to make their point consice. I think this article could be helpful with teachers. Teachers can have a lot of different ideas to help students use social media in their classroom. I think that I could use different ideas for the library, specifically tweeting different things that are going on in the library.
  • Sarah Ebener on 10 Oct 15
     
    I really like the idea of connecting with other classrooms through social media. I think this could work for my writing classes as a very authentic way of getting an audience. Maybe "Share your journal entry on social media and see if you get responses from people other than me and the rest of the kids in this class"? Kids and teachers can take control over this and use it in so many ways: sharing their work, reaching out to other people and classes, connecting with each other outside of class, etc. Plus there are so many different platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest) that allow us to do a variety of things so that you don't have to stick with just one. Thanks for sharing!
  • Alexis Johns on 11 Oct 15
     
    This was a great article that gave a lot of diverse ideas for using social media in the classroom. One that I found I could use in my class would be a discussion forum for students who are in different periods, but taking the same/similar class, to communicate with each other on a variety of discussion topics. It could also be applied to allow my engineering students to communicate with the physics classroom. I believe this resource would most benefit teachers, administration, and technology integrationalist. It would be a great way to introduce the idea of incorporation social media into the classroom at a PD meeting.
  • Christa McCaulley on 11 Oct 15
     
    This was very informative on how to use social media in the classroom in a fun and appropriate way. There are so many platforms for students to seek or gain information, and I find that some teachers are afraid of allowing their students into the social media world in a classroom setting. Also, I would state that those teachers have not themselves explored social media in an educational format. This could be a great resource for many teachers.
  • Tyler Schaben on 11 Oct 15
     
    This whole website in general is really good. What I decided to focus on specifically was this article about good practices for social media in the classroom. If you have the time I would also check out the comments. There are educators that posted their own uses for social media in the classroom that were not mentioned in the article. This is a good read!
  • Erin Keiser on 11 Oct 15
     
    I think this is an awesome resource to give teachers ideas of how to integrate social media in the classroom more effectively. Edutopia always has lots of great, reliable information and resources. One of the things that I think is the most effective is how this article has links to other sites where specific real life teachers have used social media in the classroom effectively.

    At my school, access to technology (i.e., laptops or computer labs) is not always equitable. Some teachers have nearly 1:1 access, while others (like myself) have to schedule weeks in advance for access -- and even then, can only schedule three days in a row. Thankfully, there are ways to teach our students 21st Century Skills (such as critical thinking, etc.) without having to possess a 1:1 environment. This article gives some examples.
  • prierj on 15 Nov 17

    I really liked this website. It was actually one that I almost shared with this group because I liked it. I think it is important to know how to implement social media in the classroom because it is so prevalent in our society. I think this website will be used by teachers because they are the ones who will be deciding how they will bring social media in lessons. I have seen other websites that can help implement social media into the classroom. I have shared that website to this group.
