A Digital Native ‎(Technology 4 Educators)‎ - 0 views

  • As an educator, do you ever find yourself feeling like the dad in Zits? Perhaps a "digital immigrant" in a technology obsessed nation? If so, then this website is for you! Choose one of the links below to get started learning the language of the digital natives (or perhaps I should say, "digital intuitives"-a term coined by Ben and Jared from EdTech Innovators-students have the intuitiveness to use technology but do they know how to use it appropriately to learn, to solve problems, to access information, and to create?).

      I love that this is exactly what we are learning about in this program. It is how technology is growing so fast and we are trying to keep up with the students of today by understanding all this "techie jargon". I think this site will be so helpful to the person who wants to learn more about the way technology is used by students today.

    This site helps explain the basics of web 2.0 tools to a technology immigrant. It is a great site that would allow educators who are scared to learn about technology, because it is a very simple site that would teach them about what students are using today.

Wordle - Beautiful Word Clouds - 0 views

  •  
    Wordle is a toy for generating "word clouds" from text that you provide. Larger words indicate the those used more frequently in the text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

    This is a simple but clever tool that will take words or passages and randomly create a poster. This would be a good thing to generate word walls for vocabulary or even to do a passage that one might use to emphasize a theme or style.

Library Media Tech Musings - 0 views

    The ramblings, rants, and thoughts of Gwyneth A. Jones. First runner-up in the 2009 Edublog Awards for Best Librarian/Library Blog, this site is full of ideas, links, and resources for today's teacher-librarian. I really like her straightforward (blunt) style of writing and her passion for today's librarians to stay abreast of emerging technologies.

    There is featured a section on learning style and ICT; deals with digital resources for the differnt ways students learn. This is especially helpful to those who know students who do not learn in traditional ways.

    This site allows you to "publish" your writing book style for others to read for free. I think this would be amazing to use in upper grades. Caution would have to be used by the teacher when allowing students to access site.
