Interesting shift in teacher education content. Indeed, harkens back to Randy's comment about use technology if it helps, not as a driver of education. :)
The OpenCourseWare Consortium is a collaboration of higher education institutions and associated organizations from around the world creating a broad and deep body of open educational content using a shared model.
(The easiest, most sophisticated tool for showing the best of you online, all in one place. Connect your social media content and make a great impression now.) Their words, not mine! Anyway, out of curiosity followed up on an article author and clicked on his vizify page.... Wow--so 'sexy' and slick (or so it appears). Looks like a terrific alternate to a paper resume (and Facebook profile). I'll be checking it out more in detail--it may also be useful as a non-LMS. Cheers! :)
You must check out this blog. It presents ideas for efficient and effective tech integration. One tab focuses on professional development options for 21st century educators, each topic relating to using technology in the classroom. There is a page on Digital Literacy Badges, Google Docs; the list goes on as some of the pages have multiple tabs to take you to even more information. I could spend hours exploring. It is amazing the number of different online sites available for teachers to host content and for students to present their understanding. The host of this blog Sue Oxenvad also offers online professional development, which you can register for on the blog.
