ISTE | Teach students to learn from their failures - 0 views

  •  
    I found this article most interesting because I had never looked at failure in this way before. I never would have thought to make a google classroom with students who had taken the class before in order to receive help beyond the teacher. To be able to look at failure and to grow from it is a skill that I believe that everyone should have.

ISTE | How to become a connected educator - 0 views

  •  
    This valuable article by Nicole Krueger explores five tips on how to develop a professional learning network amongst fellow educators from all around the world. Michelle has stressed to us in class how so many teachers have "discovered these vibrant learning communities" through means of networking sites such as Pinterest, Twitter, Edmodo, Diigo, Google Classroom, and much more. This assignment, of bookmarking and sharing information, epitomizes the importance of this article as we are enabling one another to grow from each other's ideas.Thus, I think for our class and other educators alike it is important to "dedicate time for networking, joining networks, attending conferences and edcamps, sharing ideas, and asking connected educators for help." The ability of such vast wealths of knowledge to be shared globally between many teachers can only implicate stronger connections and better points of reference for all educators in the future.

What Is Successful Technology Integration? | Edutopia - 1 views

  •  
    Technology integration is the use of technology resources like computers, mobile devices like and tablets, digital cameras, social media platforms and networks, software applications, the Internet, and so on in daily classroom practices, and in the management of a school. This article discusses the successful ways you can incorporate this into the classrooms for your students.
  •  
    This article has many different points and examples of technology integration. They start off by defining technology and quoting "Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally. The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions -- as accessible as all other classroom tools." When effectively integrated into the curriculum, technology tools can extend learning in powerful ways. The article also brushes up on types of technology integration, such as online learning, blended classrooms, project based activities incorporating technology, game based learning and assessment, Learning with Mobile and Handheld Devices, Instructional Tools like Interactive Whiteboards and Student Response Systems, Web-Based Projects, Explorations, and Research, Student-Created Media like Podcasts, Videos, or Slideshows, Collaborative Online Tools like Wikis or Google Docs, Using Social Media to Engage Students, and the levels of technology.
  •  
    I like that this article is very detailed in how to effectively use technology in the classroom. According to the article, technology incorporation should be seamless, second-nature. The way we use pen and paper today should be the way technology is used. We don't stop to think about how to use the pen and paper in a class; ideally, the same thing should be happening in blended classrooms.

  •  
    This article is about the need for balance in education with technology integration. Edmodo, Google Sites, and Google Drive are three examples given as technology integration in the classroom that can actually make it easier on the teacher as well as give the students an effective collaboration space.

    Andrew Marcinek Director of Technology and EducatorU.org Co-founder, Boston, MA There is no doubt that finding the time to integrate technology is an overwhelming task for anyone. Throughout the course of a day, teachers find themselves pulled in many directions. However, technology is already integrated in nearly everything we do and nearly every job our students will encounter. Technology integration can be very difficult for some teachers, the article explains simple steps and technology tools teachers can use to integrate technology in their classrooms.

SearchTube - Hack your studies - 1 views

  •  
    Searchtube is a chrome extension that allows viewers to search a word and instantly jump to that second in the video. I can think of plenty of times during this course where I would hear a specific word that caught my attention and I would have to constantly go back on the video to find what I was looking for. Searchtube is designed to gain knowledge while saving time. If you are watching the video for a specific reason you can just jump to the topic that you are interested in learning about by using key words in the searchtube bar. The downside is that the first half of the video is free and to unlock the second half of any video it is 2.99 a month subscription.

    I like this idea, it saves time and energy.

Tech Literacy: Making It Relevant Through Content Learning - 0 views

  •  
    This post talks about integrating relevant information into the use of technology in a classroom. This means going beyond teaching the kids how to use the device and download apps but applying technology to specific areas of learning. This includes collaborating with the teachers of certain subjects and creating google docs to be able to openly see students progress as well as create ideas. They also talk about the SAMR model and i'll post that word for word because its an important model that was adopted by the school in the article for this idea. Substitution: Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change. Augmentation: Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement. Modification: Technology allows for significant task redesign. Redefinition: Technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.
