a great example of a real K-12 teacher's virtual classroom.

So, this is some old technology, and hopefully you have a whiteboard in your classroom. But these chalk pencils are pretty cool if you need them.

How could Google Glass be used in the classroom?

Exactly what it sounds like. Plus it was named "Best resource sharing blog" in 2008 by Edublog, so apparently it's pretty cool.

I found this blog under the list of Edublog award winners and thought it was really interesting. It has posts everyday for new ideas for using technology in the classroom. For example, for today there is a post about Gapminder, a type of graphing technology that can be used for lesson plans, quizes, and animations. I also really like this blog because it gives links to each application and then has a whole section on how it can be realistically applied in the classroom.

Unfortunately we won't always have access to BYU's amazing resources. This blog gives ideas for ways to use technology in the classroom free of charge! Woohoo!

An interactive White Board (IWB) or SMART Board has the potential to deliver content better than traditional methods of teaching. Why? Because it provides multi-media functional interaction across audio, video, and computer media. It is also ideal for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. These qualities of an IWB also promote the dynamic delivery of content (if used to its full potential) in an engaging manner, which allows students to interact with science or math content their self. Examples include: * data manipulation * responding to data * even creating data So with all these attributes - "How are interactive white boards unsuccessfully used in science and math classrooms?" For the most part - not effectively!

Web-based learning centers engage students by using interactive internet resources aligned with inquiry-based hands-on classroom activities to learn science concepts.

Here is an excellent website that has tons of ideas, lesson plans, and activities on how to teach Shakespeare in the classroom. Some of the activities and games are really fun and interesting!

In contrast to the technology teachers use in a classroom for their professional use, what is the technology (or digital) footprint of your students?

Remember when we learned about wikispaces in IPT 286?

This will help be a better teacher because its a tool I can actually use in the classroom. Like I said before, I am a visual learner and I know that I will have some students who learn the same way..This link provide videos to teach specific points..I love that!
