  •  
    I found this article on 11 good Chrome extensions for teachers and students. Overall these were very helpful and apply to a variety of subjects and grade levels. I think that "Stay Focused" is an excellent extension that limits the time on "time wasting" websites. I already downloaded this extension and think teachers would get great use of this and the other listed extensions.

The Disturbing Reason This 20-Year-Old Calculator Is Still on Every Student's Desk - 1 views

  •  
    This relates to our class because its connecting students with technology while saving them money As we all know, Graphing Calculators were also around the same price as a college textbook. But in this innovative age of technology that we are living in, why are we still paying well over $100 for the same piece of equipment? Desmos is a free Google extension that can replace the graphing calculator all together. It preforms all of the same functions while giving a way better look to your graphs. Your curved graphs will actually look curvy!

    This article highlights 15 Educational Chrome Extensions that both students and educators can make use of and implement in their learning process. One of the chrome extensions mentioned that I found most useful was called "Spell Bee". This chrome extension acts as a spell checker. It is a proofreader that works on any website. One of the most useful features is that you can add your own word substitutions.

    What if we gave younger students more credit instead of just assuming they don't know what you're trying to teach them? Especially with technology since it is such a huge part of our world now.

See what happens in a radically innovative classroom - 0 views

  •  
    Depicted in the documentary "If You Build It', it shows 10 high school teens in Bertie County helping their local community make a difference and building a farmers market. Instead of sitting in desks and learning in a classroom all day, they took to the land and began to build. They incorporated hands-on shop lessons and used technology to map out the design of the farmers market. They were instructed to think outside of  the box which made their experience all the more valuable.

ISTE | OneNote helps educators go paperless - 0 views

  • Doing so allowed for new ways of collaboration.
  • This tool provides some unique ways for teachers to interact with students that you can’t do easily with other programs
  • There are three specific sections in the tool: a collaboration space where students and teachers can work freely within the environment, a content library that allows teachers to share documents or create original content for students, and the student’s private space where teachers and individual students can communicate directly with each other.

  • “jump in and get messy.”
  •  
    As time goes on we will see less and less paper in the classroom. OneNote is a digital three-ring binder. This program is used as a way of interaction between teachers and students. OneNote has three different sections which are collaboration space, content library and the student's private space. Taking advantage of the new technological advances is good because the more you know of a program, the more efficient you will be able to be.
  •  
    This article introduces the idea of classrooms going completely paperless. The idea behind going paperless is amazing. The impact that it would have on the environment and on student's learning abilities is something that needs to happen. By using Microsoft's OneNote, teachers can connect with students in a different way. In many ways our INTC class is paperless already.

    Replace rows of desks and lectures at your school with active learning spaces where students are collaborative, classrooms are comfortable and teachers inspire creativity and deep content knowledge. Also, take the lesson outside. Technology is portable so take advantage of it. Incorporate technology into the lesson and then bring it outside for a different environment of learning that students will be really excited about!

ISTE | PDK/Gallup poll results support the need for digital age professional learning - 0 views

  • And how do we assure that teacher quality matches the needs of today’s digital age learners? It all comes down to new models of professional learning. Just as classroom approaches to learning and teaching have changed to active learning models, so must professional development for educators. Gone are the days of sit and get. That approach must be replaced with hands-on, relevant, immediately implementable learning. And that learning must include best practices in tech integration if it is to meet the needs of 21st century learners.
  • As much as we ask students to collaborate in tech-integrated classrooms for increased engagement and deeper thinking, so must we apply that approach to educators in every role — superintendents, administrators, teachers, tech coaches and IT directors, to name a few.
  • We show educators the possibilities for enhancing learning and meeting pedagogical goals through thoughtful tech integration. We also explain the role of the ISTE Standards and Essential Conditions and engage the entire team in concepts like digital citizenship and distributed leadership.

  • Our program design and delivery for school leaders is focused on developing visionary leadership to inspire a shared vision, build capacity for professional learning, sustain dynamic educational environments, and become change agents for ed tech advocacy and leadership.
  •  
    This article is helpful to our class because it establishes how important technology integration into our classroom is, and that in order to do so we teachers must be trained professionally. This improves our quality as educators.

  •  
    Tayne Martin, is an educator and World of Warcraft aficionado, stating that boys make up 80 percent of  the computer classes at her school, and very few girls enroll in AP Computer Science. Girls are gamers too.  Martin, who is coordinator of the Professional Development Support Division at Broward Schools in Florida, is part of a team presenting the ISTE Professional Learning Series webinar "Girls, Games, and Coding" on Thursday. The reason to combine games and coding is simple: There is a clear relationship between gaming and technology.

How To Convert Text to Speech in Chrome with SpeakIt! - 0 views

  •  
    SpeakIt! lets you highlight any text from a website and converts it into speech. With latest text-to-speech abilities added to software, reading through lines of text may now become optional for those who prefer a faster, more accessible alternative. The technology extension can detect over 50 languages. In addition to US and UK English, the extension can also translate text into Spanish, Chinese, French, Italian and Russian, to name a few.
  •  
    I think this is a very cool extension. It will also become very popular in the world of assistive technology for special needs students I think. Some students may have problems reading especially from computer screens and this will help with those issues both in the classroom and at home.
