This is a new publication that Newton has come out with highlighting the use of technology and ways in which it is seeking to create 21st century learners. Is has some nice articles and some descriptions of how certain technology is used in the classroom. I thought it might be interesting for us to look at how another district is tackling the same issues we are.

very well-done newsletter. thanks for sharing it, joe.

great, short list of, mostly, web-based tools for writing/storytelling from a masscue2013 workshop. "For grades K-6, the Common Core requires that students use technology to produce and publish writing, while interacting and collaborating. As the students age, their level of independence increases. Each of the tools that I present to you today, allows for these 4 key actions."

the title says it all. blogs are broken down by categories: teacher bloggers, technology, subject areas, etc.

Nice article about How Parents fit in to the technology we are bringing in to our classrooms.

The value of technology and gaming in education. 21st century learning and learning by doing rather than being passive receptors of information.

Information for BrainPOP subscription at Lincoln School. Comment section at bottom of page for teachers to share their comments on using BrainPOP with their students.

have any lincoln school teachers used the school's subscription to brainpop yet? if so, could you leave a comment about what you used, how you used it, outcomes, etc.?

I've used it as a whole class preview- review in science so far. Videos about the weather.

list of many polling tools

great list of apps for teaching and learning. other pages on same site have other great lists of educational apps.

Students at the UK public school Flitch Green Academy use iPad, Mac, and iPod touch to create unique learning experiences. The inspiration Flitch Green is a public elementary/middle school located just outside of London. Love the discussion of how the technology builds independence. One of the apps used on the ipad is Puppet Pals one that I use frequently in the classroom - although only on my personal device at this time :(

Student engagement, digital/media/global upgrades, subject based resource communities, flipped classroom

Spent this afternoon learning about this site. I see many applications but need to play with it some more. We need to take a field trip to Josh Gold's classroom to see some cool technology integration.

Doceri is a scalable suite of products that allows a teacher or presenter to control a computer's desktop, to control audiovisual technology, and to annotate any presentation in real time with the Apple™ iPad™. Doceri is an intuitive interface that can replace interactive whiteboards and expensive AV touch panels.

tricia, have you used the ShowMe app? if so, how does it compare to Doceri?

Easy and clean layout. Shows a ton of apps for ipads, their purpose, if they're free or not, etc.

Interesting blog about schools and classes that are forming blogging communities around the nation. Should we participate?

i love her website. she does a great job at integrating technology in grades 1-2, and she finds the time to share all the great things she does on her website/blog.

Great ideas for apps, many of which we have and use.

I've used the HelloSign Chrome extension to annotate and sign pdfs. Here is another tool that seems to do the same/similar thing. Am not sure how the two compare.
