Make sure you view the video showcasing a 7th grader using Symbaloo to organize all of her network sites. It's inspiring!

Great article on using Bloom's Taxonomy with online instruction. Wow! Some of the things we are doing are at high levels!

Great article Deena! I love Bloom's Taxonomy. Putting it to use in an online setting is a great idea. I copied some of the pages for quick reference!

Interesting article about how some teachers and professors are relying too heavily on their technology in teaching their classes.

I would argue that it's not the use of technology that is the problem. It is HOW technology is used. Powerpoints have their place - but they are not a true implementation of student-centered learning. Online, self-paced, math tutorials may be effective in some cases, but are definitely not the only way to test student knowledge. We've got to start thinking about teaching and learning differently and not simply transfer what we do in the face-to-face classroom to the online environment. Just my two cents.

Thanks for sharing this information!

I was curious about students' perceptions with on line learning and this article, based on my perusal, is perfect.

Great article Jeremy! I'm going to use this in some research I'm doing with data mining in blended classrooms.

Blended learning-great article discussing pros and cons.

This is one of the best (and only) sites I've found that has a really comprehensive overview of blended learning. It's a bit text heavy, but if you can wade through it, you'll find some practical applications for your own classroom.

This site has some tips for teaching in blended learning environments.  Some echo your articles above.  There are also resources for teachers.   (I thought we were supposed to post an article to this for the class???  Hope this is what we were supposed to do.)

It's exactly what you were supposed to do!

My friend is piloting this program in Marsing. I originally was skeptical but understand a little better after viewing this article and understanding how the IPods are actually used.

Cool!! Would love to hear how it goes with your friend.

I was curious about using technology with primary grades. This article gives the benefits of implementing technology with younger kiddos and also gives some ideas.

Interesting article on the history of online education

This isn't exactly an article, it is the standards and benchmarks from Anchorage where they are implementing Social Emotional Learning. Scroll down in the document to see some sample activities.

The Internet has become an important tool in the classroom.
