    Scratch is a programming site that makes it easy to embark upon computational masterpieces. This can definitely fit into numerous content areas. Lesson parameters can be designed so that there is a large component of student centered learning that occurs. The philosophy of the site is definitely about students learning through their own investigations. This can be used to fulfill technology curriculum in any content area and is applicable for all grades including college and beyond.

Multimedia Resources for Educators and Students - UEN - 3 views

  •  
    This site provides a plethora of multimedia resources all in one place! It includes Pictures & Images, Movies & Streaming Resources, Audio Clips, Slide Show Resources and much more. The UEN.org (Utah Education Network) itself also provides interesting lessons and ideas. I have found many helpful resources throughout their website as it pertains to not only multi-media but also interesting lesson planning ideas.

What Will It Take for iPads to Upend Teaching and Learning? - 2 views

  •  
    This article speaks directly to integrating technology into the classroom and gives examples of how it can be done in numerous classes; math, English, French. It takes a look at a school in Silicon Valley and evaluates the IPAD pilot program that the school is involved in. This is a fairly new program that is still in the process of being developed and at this time it seems that the IPADs are being used as a tool to enhance learning in the classroom. They are hoping to evolve so that IPADs become not simply an enhancement tool but rather a tool that helps transform student-centered learning. Although it sounds like there are some real advantages to having the IPADs in various courses, there are drawbacks which need to be considered before taking this route of a one to one IPAD to student ratio. The cost is certainly the largest issue. The other issues that are of concern are internet speed and stable connection in general and truly getting more out of the IPADs than just an enhancement tool. When considering technology, it is important to make sure you are buying the right piece of technology and not simply buying technology for the sake of having technology.
