      This would be a great tool to assist special educators and special education teams including parents in communicating regularly.  It also visually shows the progress on IEP goals.  It would make progress monitoring so much easier.  It would also encourage measurable goals and documentation.

20 Bloom's Taxonomy of apps2 |1 fiPad Curriculum26 | Diigo - 1 views

  •  
    An Interesting "brochure" categorizing Ipad apps using Blooms taxonomy of thinking skills; remembering, understanding, creating,  applying, evaluating & analyzing. A handy guide for how to use in the classroom.
  •  
    I am glad for the realistic easy viewing of Bloom's taxonomy of skills. Using the iPad in the classroom it is a good quick reference to see what apps I am already using and promoting that my students use as well as which apps I would like to promote with enhancement of other skills.
  •  
    I am not sure I agree with the categorization on many of these and I definitely do not think it is all inclusive. It is interesting though.

Some of our earliest posts dealt with student blogging, and we have revisited the issue frequently. Most recently, Jeff and Julie wrote about that age-old question-How are you going to grade this?-when it comes to evaluating classroom blogs.

    How schools and families can partner to set boundaries with digital communication and make children conscience of how they use technology. 
  •  
    Interesting view that schools have a powerful role to play..."Schools have taken on a more significant, all-consuming role in helping parents find the right language to communicate with children, especially in the digital realm." It is easy to forget that parents are looking for guidance about their children and effective technology use.

School Librarian Creates Web Lesson on Oil Spill - 1 views

  •  
    This article gives a great example of how a librarian created a lesson that uses many web 2.0 tools while students demonstrated their media literacy skills.
  •  
    By using libguide a Boston Librarian was able to create a lesson for students to learn about an oil spill off the coast of Louisiana. Using libguide allowed her to combine news links, a Delicious linkroll, an RSS feed, and a Google Map that compares the relative size of the spill to Manhattan, Paris, and other global cities.

    An Interesting article that focuses mainly on good Communication practices for online courses. However, having good "communication tools" is simply good practice in any learning environment. Having the right tools and using them in the right learning environment promotes Higher Order Thinking, building these skills is essential to success.

Where MOOCs miss the mark - 0 views

  •  
    This discusses the world-wide impact of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) but also where they fall short. They lack the relationship between teacher and student which can be so important to learners. In fact, they said that less than 10% of those who sign up for MOOCs actually complete the course. The access to such a great opportunity to learn is wonderful, but not sufficient for all.
