How can we in SBISD change our practice to include consideration/appropriateness of technology in instructional/lesson planning?
"How have you reconfigured your lessons to take advantage of existing technologies students are bringing to school?' My second question is, "How are you connecting with other educators around the globe in your PLN to see what they are ALREADY doing?"
Welcome
to the SBISD
11
Tools for the 21st Century Learner
online professional development blog. The 11 Tools for the 21st Century Learner
training is required as part of the 21st Century Learning Initiative. Currently
this course is limited to campus groups and is by
invitation-only.
"The course has been developed to help SBISD educators learn about technologies that will help transform classrooms into learning centers for the 21st century students that walk through your doors."
The !gnite initiative strives to create flexible learning environments where the use of technology is a seamless part of the process, ubiquitous in connecting learners to content, each other and the global community. Students work extensively with digital tools to create podcasts, video casts, still images and mind maps, and use Web-based environments such as Moodle, blogs and wikis, to construct, communicate and collaborate across time, space and geographical boundaries.
This wiki provides resources,links to tutorials, and tools for digital storytelling. It also provides instructions for uploading student and teacher digital stories to the SBISD Wiki
The SBISD Wiki Server provides teachers and students yet another options for blogging and creating wikis. All have access to the server to set up accounts using your SBISD network credentials.
