The Tech Savvy Educator | a practical guide to integrating technology in the classroom - 2 views

  •  
    This is "The Tech Savvy Educator's" blog in which I follow. He includes a lot of everyday and current topics in which I find useful for a lot of my Ed. Tech classes. 
  •  
    Very interesting reading on timely topics for classroom teachers! After reading through several of his posts, I subscribed to his RSS feed. The posts provided food for thought about using technology in the classroom. The posts that immediately caught my attention, that I could put to use in my classroom, were about creating an instant online photo gallery and creating a low budget green screen. However, the most interesting post was "Learning + Video Games ≠ Gamification" that included a video of James Paul Gee and his thoughts on using gaming in education and as assessments.

    This blog is very interesting! I particularly like seeing how different content areas have their own tab - very neat and organized for specialized content teachers. This blog could be used efficiently in my future classroom because of its informative resources and ideas. This blog is probably more for teacher use since it is all about integrating technology into classrooms. I am not familiar with any other blog that has such informative resources and ideas that help educators to facilitate technology more in their lessons.

Welcome to JAMF Nation - JAMF Nation Wiki - 0 views

  •  
    If anyone uses the Casper Suite as an MDM then JAMF Nation is the place to check out new ideas, add in new comments, and change posts on how things work.  It is a good look for those of us that use this software on a daily basis.
  •  
    Whatever you may use to manage iOS and OS X devices, this is a great resource for you to post a question and get some awesome feedback on management. Yes, the group is geared for tech staff and those using their software, but they leave it intentionally wide open. Also note the "jobs board" in the lower right corner is not just for them, but for tech jobs around the globe!

New Ipad App for Classroom Collaboration - 4 views

  •  
    This is an article discussing a new Ipad App called "Spin" which allows students to hold a online, collaborative discussion while viewing multiple videos at once. This is said to be the new "Skype" allowing communication and interactive discussion to occur throughout the world with one application. Something for teachers to look into for their own classrooms one day! This application seems like it might have a future in our schools.

    Wow, what a great collaborative app! In addition to implementing in the classroom, this appears to also have great potential for facilitating distance education. I wonder what the network bandwidth requirements are and how many simultaneous video streams can be supported?
  •  
    This looks like it could be the future of distance education. A great tool that could be incorporated into a class like our online Ed Tech classes at UNI. I am not sure if I would use this in a regular classroom, it would depend on the lesson, but this appears to be the new and best option for online video discussions.
  •  
    This looks like it has some great potential. I am going to have to check it out further.
  •  
    This is a really cool App that will be very useful in Problem Based Learning environments because it is a great collaborative tool. Great Post Hannah!

VoiceThread - Conversations in the cloud - 0 views

  •  
    VoiceThread can be used in a variety of ways, educationally. Clearly, use by those in post-secondary education (as done in Technology in Education) is a fun way to enhance online courses. K-12 teachers can also use VoiceThread to present ideas for their classrooms and dialogue with other teachers. Or, teachers could ask their students to participate in "flat classroom" projects, using VoiceThread to do presentations for and get feedback from other students across the globe. A dynamic, multi-use collaboration tool for anyone involved in education at any level.
