    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.
  • Megan Kannenberg on 10 Oct 15
     
    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.
  • Christa McCaulley on 11 Oct 15
     
    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!

    Nicole I really enjoyed watching the video on inquiry based learning. I liked the principals quote that "inquiry based learning is really just a fancy phrase for curiousity." I also liked the young man's quote about "inquiry based learning actually makes you think." Memorization is not allowing kids to explore or think for themselves. The teachers did a nice job of explaining how the students curiousity can help guide what they are learning, while still getting the common core standards mastered. I agree that the concept of inquiry based learning can be used effectively in the classroom. I think that it can be used effectively in my library because we provide resources to help students answer questions they wants to know about. I think that inquiry based learning is something both students and teachers can benifit from. Teachers will find it much easier to teacher if their students are engaged. Allowing students to choose what they are learning about will allow them to be more engaged. While I do not know of anything else that is similar to inquiry based learning, I think that it can be very helpful for students at all levels and I believe more teachers should take advantage of it.

    Nicole, I really enjoyed watching this video as well. When I first started watching the video, there was an opening sentence that just drew my attention right away into the video. The teacher said, "I realized how much more they learn, then when I see that they take action and their applying the skills they learn in here, I feel like I have done my job as a teacher." When I start to begin my teacher's journey, I hope to feel that overwhelming joy of teaching my students, not just viable information, but also how it can be applied to the real world settings. I also was excited to hear that all the coordinator said that group based learning is all about curiosity. Which I believe is what we as future or current teachers try to accomplish everyday that we are in the classroom. I agree that the resource can be used efficiently in my own future classroom because I hope to one day teach my students how they want to be taught material, as well as how to share that material with others around them. I believe that the resource is a use for both teachers and students. The reason why is because teachers can learn from their students developing ways, as well as how the student can teach their teacher how they can best develop and comprehend the material. I am currently not aware of any other similar resources that could be considered at this time, but I am confident that as our class continues on, there will be more resources.
  • Erin Keiser on 11 Oct 15
     
    "Inquiry is a fancy term for curiosity". I could not agree more. This is such a motivational video to help us as educators encourage our students to dive further in exploring ideas. Curiosity leads to the ability to create strong, driving questions. I look forward to allowing my students to take charge of their learning by encouraging them to bring up real life questions that will allow them to dive into their inquiry and research. As teachers, we must learn to take a step back and allow the students to facilitate their own learning with strong question asking!

    Some very good points for the teacher to consider when implementing and blended learning environment. I am still researching the idea of blended learning in my higher education classes, but have saved this with some of the other articles I have. I shared an article called "7 Things You Should Know About the Flipped Classroom" It too has some good ideas.

    This website has great points on blended learning. Blended learning, when done effectively, is very beneficial for the teacher and student. Teachers are able to differentiate their teaching and students are able to pause/review videos and receive extra help during the class period. Another similar resource I found was also on Edutopia. This website provides a video of how to make blended learning work in your classroom and also provides resource links. http://www.edutopia.org/practice/blended-learning-making-it-work-your-classroom

    This article is tailored toward instructors and admin. of higher education organizations. I liked this article especially about using social media as a recruitment tool for higher education, an idea I have been toying with. I have already used social media by having students follow a Sonography Facebook page and a Sonography website with blogs. There are many resources on using social media, this is the first recruitment idea that I've seen.
  • akmuni on 08 Oct 15
     
    I like how this article ties social media to communications and marketing. Although the purpose of using social media mediums can vary, all of the input from a particular user or organization equates to a summary state of the user's character and subsequently a marketing statement. This gives cause for further study about individual due diligence in making choices about how, why and what we put into social media.

    I've always thought that social media in education can promote a positive experience for students.
  • Amanda Eller on 10 Oct 15
     
    Thanks for sharing. I like the example of how the Italian teacher used Twitter to promote confidence in her students. Very cool! I think that social media is a great tool for both teachers and students, and I have been trying to use social media more in my own classroom. The tough part for me is that my students are in 6th grade, and I'm not sure that they are old enough to be using social media. Most of them have Instagram, but not Twitter or Facebook. I use Twitter and Facebook to reach out to parents who want to keep up with what's going on in my class, but my students want me to create an Instagram account! I'm trying to figure out how to make 2 Instagram accounts (one for professional use, one for personal use). I don't think I am able to do this, so I haven't reached out to my students via social media yet. Our form of "social media" has been Google Classroom.
  • Sarah Ebener on 10 Oct 15
     
    Interesting article. I totally agree with the importance of "branding." I know our school newspaper is working right now on rebranding itself to get more recognition, and social media is a big part of that. We try to have a strong presence on our yearbook's Twitter account so that we can build followers and get more kids involved. I also think that we as educators have great things going on in our classrooms and schools daily, and that a school that embraces social media has a leg up on being able to show themselves off! Our principal always says that kids and families "vote with their feet," meaning "Are they coming to our school or going to another school in town?" When we can show off the good things about our school on social media, I think that gives us an edge. :) Thanks!

  • The 2014 Gates Foundation report, Teachers Know Best: What Educators Want from Digital Instructional Tools, indicates that teachers want tools “supporting student collaboration and providing interactive experiences”. These types of tools are fun and engaging, and they support 21st century skills like collaboration, communication, and creativity. Learning this compelled me to write the article, “20 Fun Free Tools for Interactive Classroom Collaboration”, which has been in the top 10 most popular posts on the site since I published it in May. We followed that in July with “5 More Cool Tools to Take Classroom Collaboration to a New Level”, another popular post. So there you have over two dozen fun free interactive collaboration tools to consider using in your classes this year!

    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?
