  Jamie, it all depends on what you are looking for. There are hundreds of lessons and activities. You can find ones that can be completed off the computer as well.

  The problem with this is then we hear complaints about using ink and toner to print everything out. How do we bypass that?

I would really love easier access to computers
- jamie hill on 06 Oct 09
  
  Our science department has our 17 laptops tied up almost everyday. If I want to use them it has to be scheduled well in advance and cant conflict with their lessons anyway. Why can one department create their curriculum around tech. but the others have to suffer.

  Good question, Jamie. I think it is because education has looked at technology as a "nice if you can get it" extra.

  I agree, but since my Read 180 is a big thing right now. All of the read 180 classrooms have computer carts with 30 or so lappies! I consider myself lucky, but I do sympathize.

vast resource that it is almost overwhelming
- Randy Ziegenfuss on 07 Oct 09
  
  This is one of the new skills - how we deal with the overwhelming amount of content. Thinkfinity is designed to try and help us do this by sifting and sorting through content that would otherwise take more effort to determine reliability (i.e. a Google search).

I always thought about learning how to use wikis as a way to respond to reading novels in my class but felt I needed someone to guide me through learning about it.  I haven’t had the time yet to incorporate a wiki in any of my classes, but I am teaching a new course in the spring semester, and I think that I might have the opportunity to try it out there.  As far as I can tell, the course’s curriculum doesn’t seem to have many big technological highlights, so it  might give me the opportunity to engage students using a new medium.  The class is 10th grade on level, which is a step below college prep, and those students might benefit from the ability to engage in discussion outside of class and use a hands on way of doing it.

  This is an idea you might want to consider developing as part of your final project in this class.

they really had an honest reaction of surprise at how fast class was going.

  It would be interesting to dig into this deeper, trying to understand - maybe through some conversation with them - what they found most engaging about the approach you took with the class.

Excellent site from Buck Institute of Education on PBL. Our model assumes that teachers and students will be most successful in carrying out Project Based Learning if careful attention is given to developing an engaging, student-focused culture on the classroom.
