Lessons from Great Cities

A social Networking Tool that allows users to create polls and quizzes in an international setting via texting,twittering,and the web.

Audience response system that uses mobile phones, twitter, and the web. Responses are displayed in real-time on gorgeous charts in PowerPoint, Keynote, or web browser.

This was used in a class I took and I found it a fascinating tool to doing a poll or survey for a class. It allows students to use the tech that they generally already use to a great extent - such as responding by text from the phone using a code specific to that poll, responding via twitter, or on the PollEv.com site directly. I haven't integrated this yet into a class, but I can really see potential here after using it in a class

October 19, 2011 "If seeing, hearing, or sharing with your online students could help the learning process, then Google+ Hangouts could be a great, engaging venue for your students." This site outlines 6 practical uses for Google Hangouts in an educational setting. Hangouts are great for small meeting of 10 or less. In this site, there are screenshots to explain the Hangouts with extras and screen sharing. This would be a great way for students to collaborate on a project.

This articles provides great information about blogging in general and how blogs may be used in the classroom.

#TT1921 (Beverly Bradley) This will be a great asset for my English classes.

I have used this in my classes and love it! The free Poll Everywhere mobile app is perfect for responding to polls, presenting polls, and clicking through PowerPoint presentations. Use it to... 1.) Respond to polls: Audience members can use the app to respond to the presenter's questions live. 2.) Poll an audience: Presenters can ask the audience questions and display poll responses live. 3.) Navigate in Powerpoint: Presenters can control the flow of Powerpoint presentations using a smartphone as a wireless remote. Participants Audience members or students can easily respond to polls or vote using the app on a smartphone or tablet. Aside from the app, they can respond via web browser, text message, or Twitter. Presenters Professors, teachers and presenters can create and display questions on the fly, including Q&A and multiple choice polls. Questions can be presented directly from the web or embedded in a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation. Audience responses are displayed in real-time. Great for classroom participation, or gathering opinions from the audience. PowerPoint Remote Presenters using PowerPoint can use the Poll Everywhere mobile app as a presentation clicker, to navigate through your PowerPoint presentation with ease. It has a slick, streamlined design and a set of polling controls built-in. Key Features: * Create or answer multiple choice, true/false, open ended, ranking poll, and clickable image questions. * Participants are automatically shown the presenter's current question, for quick and easy participation. * Watch results update live. * Click through a PowerPoint presentation with the included Presenter Remote feature.

What a great way to be able to asynchronously poll students and still allow them to remain anonymous. This also gives students to see how well their knowledge compares to other students. It also allows them to see if their way of thinking is similar to other students.

Recent article on using social media

TT1921 (M Oyeleye) Prof. Garrett, What a great article to read! I was intrigued with this question, which I have tweaked a bit - "How can we as educators make the best use of Twitter or Diigo to help connect our students with amazing, inspiring personalities in the various fields we teach"?. Please, I will be interested in any response or comment on this?

One of many good articles for this week's study. I especially liked the Facebook uses.

Inspiring videos!

Thanks for sharing this treasure trove of inspiration Dan!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Great resource with descriptions of the dangers of social networking use without guarding one's private information. It includes a list of suggestions for how to more safely be "social."

This is a video I have for my students. Since I had to post something, and I have students use this, I thought I would use it here.

Very informative. Thank you for sharing! Any way to reduce the background noise in the video? Also love the introduction too!

Great tool to teach complicated procedures.

Edpuzzle is a Web-based application that allows instructors (and students) to upload videos or use pre-existing streaming videos from YouTube or Vimeo and overlay test/assessment items to create a more interactive lesson. Instructors can stop videos at anytime and present assessment items to check for understanding. Videos become lessons and engaging presentations. Great for flipped classrooms...............and it's free!

Yes, there are a ton of great ed-tech tools out there, but which ones should you be adopting for your classroom? One of the best ways to narrow your choices is to get in touch with experts. I sent an email out to ed-tech experts (and great teachers) asking for their recommendations.

Cool to see this perspective, and a great example of how to effectively blog and maintain interest

Great summary of Bloom's Digital Taxonomy by Churches and identifies specific tech tools in relation to cognitive processes.

great site for any accounting (or finance) terms my students don't understand

Great web 2.0 tools for learning and sharing

This article talks about what a Wiki is and why it is a great tool to use for our classes.

These tools can also be used for educational purposes.

A great read on the acts of great teachers! I thought most of this list spoke to how we could create immediacy in the classroom.

Historypin is a way for millions of people to come together to share glimpses of the past and build up the story of human history. It's a great tool for collaborative classroom work.
