Educational Leadership:The Resourceful School:Stretching Your Technology Dollar - 1 views

  •  
    As my district's technology director, I love getting the maximum bang for my buck. Maybe it's because as a former classroom teacher, I know of other ways to spend money than on wires and chips. It could be that my midwestern hardheadedness insists that only fools use two mules when one mule will do. And I know it's a deep-seated distrust of anybody who wants to make a profit selling to schools.

7 Twitter Users to Follow If You Are Interested in Education Technology | Emerging Educ... - 0 views

  •  
    Though Twitter's contribution to the world of social media and progressive society was at one time a strongly argued point, there is no doubt today that the popular social media platform has become a valuable tool for various aspects of education. Sure, Twitter can be the perfect place to waste hours on mundane details about people's lives or worthless celebrity gossip. But, the microblogging platform also enables us to create and participate in meaningful conversations concerning education, technology, and society.

Standards - MEMO - Minnesota Educational Media Organization - 0 views

  •  
    The goal of our project was to update the MEMO Guidelines for Standards in Information and Technology Literacy. The new standards reflect 21st century skills and provide a bridge between K-12 and higher education expectations for students. Beginning in June and continuing throughout the summer and fall, advisory and writing groups met, and determined the framework, standards and benchmarks. The groups included library media specialists and technology integration teachers as well as representatives from public libraries, higher education, and business.

Library Skills TV - 0 views

  •  
    Each is a short presentation, less than 10 minutes.  All are effective and provide an important resources that I integrate into lessons.  I have used these videos here with upper-elementary students, middle school students, and even high school students.  The key is to include enriched content in a short, attention-grabbing way.  You will find that the formats and styles I use work with very wide and diverse age groups.

    Fascinating change: In 2013, I'll be "ripping" DVDs to make clip compilations for media literacy. And I'll be encouraging K-12 teachers, school librarians, and technology educators to do the same.

iLearn Technology » Blog Archive » Extreme Speed Booking:Using Technology to ... - 1 views

  •  
    "Extreme Speed Booking" The idea behind the site is to introduce students to a variety of books and form classroom book groups. How does Extreme Speed Booking work? A whole lot like speed dating. :) Students spend a little time with each book and then rate them accordingly with "I want to read more", "Interesting", "Not for me", or "I've already read". Students can also make a note of how interested they are in reading the book (maybe a 1-10 scale)? This process introduces students to a variety of books, genres and authors. Students may come across titles and authors they wouldn't otherwise find. It also helps teachers form classroom book groups that are of high-interest and investment to students because they had input.

    Can I let you in on a secret? Typing two spaces after a period is totally, completely, utterly, and inarguably wrong.
    And yet people who use two spaces are everywhere, their ugly error crossing every social boundary of class, education, and taste. *
