This was a great read! At my school we send out a newsletter called the Digital Digest. I plan to include some of the ideas from this article in it. I am also exploring some of the links that are in the article. I particularly love the Mathtrain.TV link. I plan to share this with one of our 4th grade teachers who is looking for ways to integrate tech into her math curriculum. Thanks for sharing!

@techienichols Rolled out Google Apps last year. Here are some resources I created that were popular with teachers: http://t.co/Nc8OXkYb

I went on Twitter and asked for some resources for teaching teachers about Google Apps. This was a great find!

Most might already know this site but I think it is a great way to get students to learn without them knowing it!

When I was a regular ed teacher, I used this site a lot for a choice in centers. The students really enjoyed them. At that time you were limited in how many videos could be viewed per day. Is it still limited?

Great website. I use this as rewards for students. Not only do they enjoy playing the games but they are working as well. Win Win.

I think her book is great and has some interesting and thought provoking material.

This site has some good reading and many resources.  It is also inspiring for those that get lost in the daily grind of education.

Very interesting article. I found it perplexing that the "21st century survival skills" listed in the article are not those (in my opinion) that are taught and/or used very frequently in our classrooms. When will this era of teaching to the test end so we can get back to "real" teaching? (sorry, that may have sounded a bit bitter...)

I have used Skype to read aloud to another classroom on the other side of the county.  I will be using it this year to connect to a class in Hawaii and will try to use it for reading, science and social studies.

As someone "new" to ipad, I found this site helpful and plan to explore it and refer to it more often.

Interesting perspective.
