A wiki design around special education, specifically early childhood special education and helping educators to best meet the needs of all learners. Great place for resources and lesson ideas.
This blog has a lot of cute and creative ideas to use in a first grade classroom. I plan to use this site to generate some ideas for my future classroom.
I really enjoyed looking more into Mrs. Nessman's blog. I am a huge fan of blogs and love to get new ideas. I feel some of the best ideas are ones in which we find from other teachers. She provides a lot of creative ideas in which I could modify to use within my own future classroom. Thanks for sharing!
This is a really neat blog! I always enjoy reading about new and creative ideas that I could possibly use in my future classroom. Mrs. Nessman's blog is very impressive and creative! I could definitely see myself using this blog as a reference when I am a teacher. I have not encountered any other blog that is this innovative. I can see many teachers learning much from Mrs. Nessman. Good find, Nicole!

Thanks for sharing this blog. Although I am a Special Education teacher I still felt like their were a lot of ideas I could apply to my classroom. It's always fun to see what other educators out their are doing. This blog would be used primarily for teachers as its all about ideas in the classroom for instruction and projects. However you could use it to create a project choice list for you students to choose to complete so many by the end of the year.
This website contains links to various information that may be useful in educational technology. It could be useful for K-12 or higher education. Some examples would be Bloom's taxonomy, early childhood computing, gender and tech, instructional technology, message design, and so on.
What is the Arizona Technology Integration Matrix?
Within each cell of the Matrix one will find two lessons plans with a

Arizona Educational Technology Standards.
Interesting article on social media, Tapscott and Shirky, and how intellectual property laws, and generational divides are affecting politics, business, and culture.
But after seeing how easy the iPads are to use -- kids become their own experts by getting answers to their questions through YouTube videos or educational apps -- Pole changed her tune. Now she plans to get schooled on the iPad herself.
"More fun" that sounds like the iPads are being used for educational purposes for sure! They must be a tool that connects directly to the curriculum. Either the student does not get this or the reporter failed to understand why they are using iPads.
No surprise there with the designation, but really - most are purchasing these devices without the proper pieces in place. Sad that it has taken the ed world by storm, but there is no idea how to actually include this in instruction...read on!
This is a great article looking over the iPad craze and the Flipped Education idea in Minnesota schools. It still makes me wonder what we are trying to teach out students by using these devices - What is the educational goal? This article also points out the need for an investment in teacher training as an essential part of a technology program. Check out the sticky notes and highlighting for more information.
