Ashley, Great article that states many great ideas for educators. We are always looking to new and unique ways to bring different things into the classroom. This is a great source to help spread the word of things that work well for others that may for you. We are also looking to throw away things that don't and use new things that may - each situation is different and unique. Thanks for sharing this site

This blog is a combination of article for teachers and students alike.  Under the Teachers - Research link, there are many interesting article about technology, including technology and language learning.

Interesting article on a teacher's decision to end using the flipped classroom model.  Also, the article refers to a student-centered approach, not a teacher-centered approach. 

The flipped classroom is something that I have been interested in doing when I become a teacher so I find this interesting. I saved it to look at more later but from what I read she did love some things about the flipped classroom and says that when she wrote about it in a previous post she doesn't disagree with anything she had written but that she has now decided to end it anyway. Looking at her reasons why she decided to end it, I think it seems it was more of just a personal preference than the fact that it didn't work well or that there were any major problems with it. It's definitely something I will read more carefully later on though!

This article describes positive ways in which technology can enrich the classroom as well as barriers educators will need to overcome. I liked this article because the author gave their opinion on the challenges we will face with this technological generation and how to prepare yourself as an educator.

Great article to share with Tech Cadre. We are working towards implementing GoogleDocs at school and this would be a great article to share.

An article which discusses how to bring out the best in your students during Project Based Learning. Some very good practical suggestions.

An article about how to better manage PBL in our classrooms. Solid, practical tips.

A great resource for educators who use SMART Boards.  The articles on here are written by teachers and for teachers that use these boards.  Lots of good articles and constantly updated as well.

Thank you for sharing this with us. We are are relatively new to SMART Boards and this seems to be a good one for teachers to be able go out and find material that they may use in the classroom. There always seem to be more material for K-8 than for 9-12 areas. Great sources for teachers to find tips also

This is a great resource! I really like the section that has SMART Board training on it. A lot of teachers in the classroom don't really know how to use these resources to their fullest extent and by having it so they can teach themselves online is great. I would use it if I had a SMART Board in my classroom.

Article from EdTech magazine featuring Edina Schools in Minnesota. Discussion is based around their initial 1:1 pilot program and eventual decision to move towards BYOD after that.

This article again features some discussion with Doug Johnson from Mankato Schools in Minnesota on BYOD strategies in his district.

Hi, Shane, cool blog. I especially like the article that you linked to about the BYOB program. I have a BYOD program in my own classroom. Kids still aren't supposed to have their devices in school, but my room is a technology haven. I've been somewhat forced into it since my district isn't 1:1 so I have students supplement our school technology with their own devices. It seems to work fairly well, and once you establish expectations, it probably lessens the disruptions to class time form technology.

Interesting article on social media, Tapscott and Shirky, and how intellectual property laws, and generational divides are affecting politics, business, and culture. 

There was a lot of information in this article. Very interesting reading.

This is a great, but controversial article about iPads being used in schools.  Read between the lines and see what you think!

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.

This site is a great resource to help keep up on what is going on in education at all levels. I especially liked the recent article entitled, "5 Things Teachers Want Parents to Know". I really don't think this site is just for teachers but I think teachers will be the ones to use the site most. Teachers are very busy and don't always have time to read several news feeds to get our educational news, so its nice that its all right here.
