Clarity is provided on definitions of "regular and substantive interaction" in distance education - These new requirements take effect July 1, 2021.

@hmoore681 @ wfroese Thank you for visiting. ILCCO is organizing a meeting/training for the DL leaders in each institution to understand how that impacts what are doing in our current online programs.

How one professor and students use twitter to drive class discussion participation

@hnoore681 Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to keep in mind of those who don't have an account, and those who don't want to have one. That's when UDL comes into play. I am also exploring https://grouptweet.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-to-managing-a-classroom-twitter-account-with-grouptweet.

@chreych I am always curious about this. Since twitter is free, if they do not have an account - can't we ask them to create one for use in the classroom?

Inspiring videos!

Thanks for sharing this treasure trove of inspiration Dan!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

How G Suite was implemented in Chicago Public Schools and NY Times' article about it. Read this a few years ago and it has stuck with me since. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/technology/google-education-chromebooks-schools.html

My children's teachers were using FlipGrid for fun activities in their classroom so I decided to modify and use it in my classroom! We are now performing our skill checks on FlipGrid and the students are loving it! They also have to review two or three of their classmates each week and their responses are videos as well with corrective techniques. When we return to on campus classes, we will continue to use this as an additional psychomotor assessment!

This paper raises serious doubts regarding the success of our educational system in preparing students for the knowledge society. According to the author the knowledge economy "...holds the promise of changing, to our benefit, some of the most deep-seated and universal regularities of economic life and of dramatically enhancing productivity and growth. Its effects, however, have so far proved modest." The disruption brought by the new technologies can cause an even bigger inequality in societies. Worth thinking about it.

With the advance of web 2.0 technologies, there emerged a wide range of educational tools that we can use with our students in and outside the classroom.Collaborative web tools is one example. Using such websites, teachers will be able to help in holding online and real-time discussions with their students, help them in their projects and assignments, guide their learning, do back-channeling, and synchronously moderate discussion threads and many more. We have prepared for you a list of such tools that you can use with your students, check it and share with us what you think about it.

Free interactive website for music students who wish to learn and then test their knowledge of music theory; also has specific exercises for students learning keyboard and various fretted string instruments. The webpage also features various interactive tools and calculators, and printables (e.g. staff paper). What makes it useful for teachers is the ability to customize exercises in great detail. The site then produces permanent links to these exercises that you send to students. To make it even better, students can submit reports with results of their drills. Great for mastery learning approach. They also make paid iOS apps, Tenuto and Theory Lessons

This is a great music theory tutor/reference/resource. I recommend it to all of my colleagues, as well as my students. Using the site is free.

Check out Kahoot! It is a great way to use technology in a F2F classroom. It is an interactive quiz that promotes student engagement as well as checks students' understanding.

I love Kahoot!

good article on online education

Linked resources of how to use universal design for development, procurement, and use of technology

Thanks for the great resource. I don't think we can ever have enough info on UDI, particularly how tech can support it.

I would recommend this IT article and others just as a food for thought, concerning the education for students. That if every school spent this amount of money into technology. Technology in teaching is going to keep advancing since it has been made room in budgets since covid-19, teaching will keep growing with technology. Also, this page has some interesting articles on A.I. which will be the newest technology all software's and companies are coming out with now/next.

This website is an overview and serves as a hub to identify data grounded in resources managed by this federal agency. It includes reports and data sets concerning geography, wildlife, and climate information.

Anchor is an free podcast creation site. I use it to make podcasts for my students. It is free and easy to use.

Interesting discussion of educational videos and whether we should include ourselves in them or not.
