5 Steps to Increasing Teacher Technology Integration | #Edchat Recap - 1 views

  •  
    "Twitter's #edchat discussion Tuesday evening tackled the subject of teacher technology literacy and curriculum integration. This can seem like a daunting task for administrators, advisors, and technology coordinators because some teachers fear technology, others are reluctant to start, and some fail to see the need for technology in the classroom. As @jdthomas7 puts it, "Tech has become like Math-ok to say I hate tech-don't really need it!" "

Introduction and Quick Start Guide | ReadCloud - 0 views

  •  
    A brand new online site from Aus (i think!) i will have a look and let you know. Or drop them an email and they will send you an invite. Here is a quote off the site ReadCloud provides the answer to one of the most pressing questions librarians and teachers are facing today: What is your eBook strategy? ReadCloud is the world's first social eReader software with built-in learning tools and a Digital Library Management system that works on any platform. Our immersive digital library system connects teachers, students and eBooks through online and offline social reading classrooms. ReadCloud facilitates classroom conversations embedded within eBooks through rich media such as comments, videos, pictures and sound bites. Our technology mimics real life classroom discussions. ReadCloud provides a digital reading ecosystem for each school. Social Interaction ReadCloud enables conversations to take place real-time within each book and tailored for each classroom. Teachers can seed a book with comments progressively splattered throughout the book viewable in the margins. Students can participate by commenting further within the book and marking the annotations as private, public or for the attention of a specific classroom. Annotations can be filtered by teacher or classroom discussion. Rich text and media such as video, images or sound bites can all be embeded within the margins of each book by student and teacher alike. Every annotation can be shared within the classroom, copied to an email or posted to a social network such as Twitter, Facebook or Myspace. Books are about learning through stories and the sharing of information. ReadCloud gives students and teachers a toolset to spread and share the contents of books like never before. There you go.

iPaddiction: Teaching Teachers Who Will Experience 1:1 iPad in 2012 - 0 views

  •  
    Today, I had the privilege of teaching a high school staff about tech tools that I have used in my iPad filled classroom. Next year, the high school students will be using an iPad on a daily basis. The iPad will be theirs to use during the school year. This school did the correct thing by getting the iPads into the hands of the teachers well before they are asked to lead students with them. Teachers have had the iPads for about 2 months. The presentation that I used is below. Highlights are listed below the presentation.

Research Summary 3: Teacher PD in ICT « hELPC! - 0 views

  •  
    From the articles I've been reading on teacher PD for ICT, there appears to be a clear message. * To achieve positive learning outcomes, PD is crucial. * PD must be continuous and address particular needs of individual teachers. * The traditional model for PD (one-off, one day courses) is bunk as it doesn't provide on-going support. * The focus on skills is a distraction from the main-game, pedagogy.
