      Educators could use this tool to monitor students and their use of technology. It could also be useful to parents or guardians, as the tool records activity on a students computer.

    This site has taught me the endless options of tool available for educators. In alphabetical order, tools are listed for educators to search through, and find tools they could apply to their classroom. Links to the tools with information to each tool is available at their fingertips. It would be impossible for any educator to search this site and not find a tool that is interesting or applicable to their subject.

      This site has a lot of really cool projects created by middle school students. You can tell that the librarian and/or other teachers are really incorporating technology into their classrooms across the entire school. These projects cover many different topics and tools.
  • Kyle Campbell on 16 Jul 11
     
    Awesome way to showcase East Middle School's Library in this case. But just think we can use Web 2.0 Tools like Animoto to create slideshows of students work and even a culmination of projects we will do in class. This would be a neat thing to create to show parents on back to school night!

      This is so interesting. I think that students need to learn technology to be sucessful in their lives because technology is only going to grow, so it would be niave to think that we don't need to teach technology in schools.
  • another aspect of a social learning network is the potential to build global awareness among students.

      I had no thought about the language barrier as a complication. It would be interesting to see what other socail networking tools have the ability to translate.
  • Consider what tools, when implemented together in a holistic and thoughtful manner, can encourage collaboration, spark creativity, teach 21st-century skills, and address the needs and challenges of different socioeconomic environments.
  • Consider the following questions
    • Kate Castle
      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      These are five really crucial questions. I suspect too they are very different approaches to teaching than what has been typical in the past.
  • what tools best fulfill the needs of each school and district’s environment
  • What should be encouraged is the next level of communication—collaboration.
  • create, invent, and showcase their work
  • as many as 70% of the new jobs recently created in the U.S. are positions that require interactions between people and involve judgment, insight, and collaboration.

      Students need to be aware in a different way than before. Learning is no longer a passive activity. This new interactive stance fosters the skills of judgement, insight, and collaboration that employers are looking for.
  • the framework suggests three overarching student outcomes, including life and career skills; learning and innovation skills; and information, media, and technology skills. Ultimately, the Partnership is advocating for educators and students to consider the implication of skills beyond the basic subject areas that are critical to success in the 21st century.

      It makes me happy to see that it is obvious to people that producing a literate student involves more than teaching him or her the core subjects. Learning how to learn, meta-learning (has anyone coined that one yet?) is THE indispensable skill of the 21st century it seems. If I take nothing from this class, it will be that.

  • narrowing down which combination of tools would be best with the curriculum and pedagogy for the class

      Each class will be unique in its abilities and needs and having knowledge of a wide varitety of tools makes teachers able to customize web tools to best serve their classrooms.

    This is a review of CollaborizeClassroom, a Web2.0 tool used for student collaboration. Even though I can't highlight, I would like to point out that this tool is a "free web-based platform for facilitating and tracking discussion". EMPHASIS ON THE FREE. It is completely customizable like a blog, but allows every student to have a voice in the conversation like twitter. And it allows upload and sharing of documents, you can create question forms or forums, and organize it all in one central location. Seems very applicable for teachers and easy to use.

      Note for art teachers that if students are creating work for others to critic they may take it more seriously. Especially true for those who think they aren't any good so they don't try.

      I think that this is so important! I was never taught how to use a lot of technology in schools I had to teach myself and I think sometimes we forget how important technology is in the workplace!

Love Zoho for students to work together on a presentation on a period in art history, or a study of the life and work of an artist. They could even create a group presentation with artist statement...

    This Wiki not only offers great insight through a video included called "Did you know 2.0" but through other quotes and references. Although it's a litte dated, 2006, it's amazing how its easy to see the progression from then to now five years later.

    Persuasive article using statistics to demonstrate the reason why we should be including social networking in our schools and for our students. Love the example of posting a paper for parents, peers and teachers to critique so students take it more seriously.

    Learn about the role the internet is playing in transforming education to shared and interactive learning. This article suggests 10 principals as "fundamental to the future of learning institutions." This article states that we are connected now through technology, and this is forming us into lifelong self-learners. In addtion, it talks about the credibility of where we seek information. Come read about how technology is changing education.

    Number 2 in the list caught my eye because I remember memorizing so much information when I was in school. Whereas today, the process is stressed and simply knowing how to find the information needed is the key.

    This is a great resourceful website that everyone should keep bookmarked! It has a list of over 50 links to Web 2.0 tools that are good for education with a 1-5 sentence blurb about what they are capable of and how they can be used. They are also broken down into subcategories, document sharing, discussion forums, etc. If I had a highlighter tool I would have highlighted the CollaborizeClassroom tool because I have found that very interesting and my next link gives some more description about how and why it is used.
