Interactive whiteboards (IWB) allow science and math teachers to teach multi-sensory lessons, seamlessly jumping from one type of media to another. Interactive science or math lessons can easily integrate text, sound, video, and graphics based on the tactile nature of the IWB.

There is nothing more motivating (and exciting) as digital creativity in the classroom. I personally think you would be hard pushed to find a teacher who

this is great stuff particularly for students interested in doing the Podcast assignment.

Great collection of podcasts for kids and youth!

This is a great example of asynchronous video chatting! You can post a picture or slide, and then hear people's comments---just like you would in class. I think I'll use this for my online section.

Interesting voicethread about using the technology for digital storytelling in the classroom.

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!

Stimulating critical thinking using technology has the potential to create more in depth understanding of science and math content by students when engaged in learning activities which integrate in-class and on-line technology resources. Technology tools support stimulation of both inquiry-based and critical thinking skills by engaging students in exploring, thinking, reading, writing, researching, inventing, problem-solving, and experiencing the world outside their classroom. This is accomplished through learning content through the lens of video to multimedia to the internet (Using Technology to Improve Student Achievement, NCREL, 2005).

My friend in Memphis is in charge of a privately-funded, faith-based organization providing professional development to teachers on technology integration topics. LOTS of great videos on great technologies here! Check them out!

Really interesting video by Kim on illustrating different creative expressions for one word -- "money"

This is an awesome history video from Dawn!

For 5 points extra credit, you can view this presentation and blog about it on your blogs, reflecting on what the video teaches, the key takeaways, and what you learned as a teacher.

A good example of a social studies video project from Brittany. The music gets too loud and distracting at one point, but if the audio was improved, I like how she gave a good analysis of a social studies topic and then showed good examples.

I saw this and thought it was pretty interesting. You can turn short films into flip books.

Fun video on different Web 2.0 technologies.

Interesting article about how schools can be sued for using copyrighted video.
