I was introduced to this site in another class I have taken through PSU and find it to be really powerful. TED stands for Technology Entertainment Design. This site goes beyond technologies for the classroom, and discusses real life technologies…some our students might be using in the future. This site contains a number of videos. The videos discuss a variety of topics, more than just technology. Two such videos that would be really thought provoking and/or great conversation pieces for a professional development day are found at the following links: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/taylor_mali_what_teachers_make.html http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html

This is an online community that you can ask questions and receive answers for technology talk.

Heads up on another type of "smartboard".  This system has a website and there are blogs talking about how to implement this Mimio technology into the classroom.  

This website offers loads of great tools and it even provides video demonstrations on new technology and what is up and coming. I also liked the aspect that this website lists past months on the side where you can easily search and visit past discussions and blogs. Another cool feature are the tabs that talk about types of technology being used in some classrooms like ipads and ipods and what these lessons look like.

Found this article while on TechChicks Talk. Just replace CIO with what ever version of administration you need to. When I finally finish this assignment I'll be learning how to play Angry Birds:)

You've got to check this one out, especially if you are or plan to be an elementary school librarian. This librarian, Keisa Williams, has such great ideas. She even talks about some of the professional development she has done with the staff. Awesome!

Vicki A. Davis Talks about teaching content with new tools, enthusiasm and the "belief that teaching is a noble calling…"
