Successful Teaching: Feeling Connected - 0 views

  •  
    On February 28, we met a man who was beginning his Appalachian Trail thru-hike the next day. We exchanged contact info and he gave me the address of his blog which he would be updated along the way. This was his way of letting his family know where he was and share pictures.

    WOW! Make sure your math folks see this resource. Make sure your STUDENTS know how to get to this.
  •  
    This educational resource site has been absolutely exploding over the last year plus! It started out primarily has a math-based site, but has evolved into science and has been bought out by a corporate entity which hopes to expand to all the disciplines.

    "Ten fundamental reasons why I think technology is important in education."

    Although this article was written in 2007, I still think it is relevant. It would be a good source for justifying a technology grant request.

    "I recently attended an event called Mobile Technology in Maths and Science, run by the London Knowledge Lab in association with the Open University. It was fascinating. Many, if not most, of the exhibits are proofs of concept, but hopefully will become much more than that. Here is a quick run-down of some of them:"

    I will be sharing this article with the science teachers at my school. Talks about some great science apps.

100 Apps for Tech-Savvy Teachers | Diigo - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great page that shows different applications for the iPhone that are designed to assist educators. They include test generators, plagiarizing catching tools, and organizational tools. I also noticed that Moodle is on here, and I want to download that to make my time at Harrisburg University easier as I live with my iPhone. I have not heard of many of these applications, but they look like helpful resources.

Integrating Technology - 0 views

  • needs assessment of how technology should address important learning goals
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      Here is one thing that I feel my district is weak in. Tools don't seem to be placed via need (or at least the need isn't clearly expressed) they seem to be given because they were advertised as a fix all miracle cure for..., well I'm not sure what, because I don't know the goal. (Remember?)  I know this isn't a district website, but I wonder: What do other districts do to analyze tools before implementation?

Free Technology for Teachers - 1 views

  • Street View Trekker is Google's new backpack-mounted equipment that will capture "Street Views" of trails in places like the Grand Canyon and other national parks.

      This is crucial for those student who live in towns that are not in those areas, because they may have no reference point for those types of terrain. What a great way to build background knowledge before geography lessons or even before reading a story that takes place in these settings! I love Google Maps/Earth!

Great Moments in EdTech History | Ideas and Thoughts - 3 views

  • journey into educational technology and share a few instances of “aha moments” that I think many can relate to
    • L Butler
       
      Read the blog post and see what you agree with. The dates might change, but what is powerful and transformative remains the same.
  • The beginning of cheap failure.
    • L Butler
       
      Great concept = cheap failure. We have the opportunity for almost everything we create to be a work in progress. You can always learn and build upon your initial attempts. This should give people more freedom to try without the feeling of absolute and unrecoverable failure.
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      Not just cheap failure but also instant failure, which is important to our students as well. We talk about rapid prototyping in the program and some in my classroom, which I think is an important note about this technology and an important concept for our students to grasp/be able to deal with. It's a vehicle for learning. 
    • L Butler
       
      'instant failure' - great phrase. It is important that they can make mistakes in a safe environment and have the guidance to learn from the mistakes.
    • Matthew Rogers
       
      I guess my question is why would be considered a cheap failure, constant better/cheaper alternatives, integration in today's technology?
  • I did ask a few folks on twitter about their great moment in edtech history.
    • L Butler
       
      Notice the use of Twitter and Storify.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • I’d encourage you to create your own list or add your ideas here.
    • L Butler
       
      What would be on your list? Make sure your comments are not private, but visible to the LTMS600 group.
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      I think my list, off the top of my head, would be Google Docs, Twitter, Cloud Servers/Saving, and Mobile Devices. 
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      And I forgot the first time around, the almighty text message. Who could forget the text message?
    • Charles Black
       
      My list would be Facebook, Twitter, Google Docs, and Mobile Devices/Text messages.
  • I believe it was 640 x 480 resolution.
