A blog about the journey one teacher is having in the digital age.

I like how he takes so many tools that I've looked into and learned about and talks about them in a whole new way. He also introduces new ideas I've never heard of and offers many little tips and tricks of the trade. Thanks for the share!

PDF describing the many benefits and apps for iPad learning.

Thanks for the resource. we just bought 1600 ipads for our school so I am excited to read what the article says about apps and learning.

This article was very informative on how to use iPads. I learned a lot from this article and I will definitely use it in my future! Thanks!

I learned about Vicki Davis from Professor Zeitz. We had the chance to speak with her through a Skype session and hear all about the different ways that she incorporates technology in her classroom. This is a link to her blog's homepage which gives a list of her many blogs and includes a description of each. Not only is their information about technology use in the classroom but information on other educational topics like current events. This is a great resource for a teacher to have access to because it is written by a fellow teacher. Many educational topics are discussed that some teachers may not have as much background knowledge on that will certainly help them gain further insight into the matter and bring what they learn into their own classrooms.

Megan, I also learned about Vicki from Dr. Z! She is doing some remarkable work with her teaching and with her Flat Classroom work. She really is an inspiring teacher. I remember the Skype session we had with her, it was extremely generous of her to give her time to talk with us.

Blog about education and tools to help me in my classroom.

Blog about technology in education.

Changing Iowa is a site every Iowa teacher or soon to be teacher should be aware of, especially if they have any plans to do any instruction online. A tremendous resources for adult learners.

This is now becoming a post modern issue. The movement towards on-line learning in high school environments has put up a fence between students and educators. The idea of non-physical connections in a classroom has its consequences, maybe less in that arena (cognitive learning) but perhaps in the emotional arena where growth is apparent also. Interesting debate going on at present regarding this issue.

This was a very interesting blog. I think this is very useful for future and current teachers. They can read about current issues in Iowa and this will also help them to see what needs to be done in order to make a better learning experience for students.

This is very informative. I like that it helps teachers set up a wiki and how they can use it in the classroom. It also talks about the benefits of using a wiki over a blog.
