    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.

    SMART Boards can be great if used properly with some awesome ideas...or they can be a huge waste of money. This group of educators has done an awesome job really laying out some new ideas and different templates to use with SMART Boards. Check them out!

    This looks like a very useful resource relating to SMART Boards. I know that I have really neglected digging into all of the resources out there for my SMART Board, so I think if I set a goal to explore sites like this on a regular basis, it'll give me good ideas for how I could be using my board for more than just a glorified YouTube player. The reviewers of the various templates and activities do a good job discussing what does/does not work or why they liked them. I have not researched many SMART Board sites, but look forward to finding more.

    This is very good tool to use with SMART Boards, this will be beneficial for teachers to use in classrooms. It will make it easy and fun for students to follow their teacher.

    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.

    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.
  • Randon Ruggles on 13 Nov 12
     
    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!

  • Ann Hansen on 13 Nov 12
     
    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.

    The SMART Notebook iPad app has arrived!  I personally have not had a chance to look at it, but the author of this article did.  James does a wonderful job explaining the pitfalls to using this new app - especially when we have a SMART board in a classroom.

  • 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.

      This makes me wonder what they are really finding out answers to.  Also, is that the only thing they are using the iPads for?  Really!

      "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!
  • Randon Ruggles on 16 Sep 12
     
    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.

    May be review information for most of us in this group, but still a way to affirm why using social media can be extremely beneficial. 
  • Tiffany Waller on 11 Nov 12
     
    As said above, it may be review information for us, but I think it's a great article, especially to those who you may talk to about social media and think it's not worth their time, it's something you should show them. Social media is definitely a great way to progress professional development.

    I think this resource is strictly for teachers who are interested in communicative technologies in the classroom, however, it could also be used for students of the college level because they can get on and have discussions and share ideas about different uses for these technologies in the classroom. This could be used in my future classroom with sharing ideas with other teachers to use them with my students! This kind of reminds me of the Facebook of communicative technologies.
