John Dorn originally shared on G+:   I just tried the Movenote app for the first time and I love it. You can easily take a webcam video of yourself to show and explain documents. The app shows the documents and video side by side. You also have the ability to perform some annotation of your documents during the presentation. Very slick. 

List of some software to check out. Nothing earthshattering or totally unheard of before, but a nice summary list.

Free resources for education divided by grade, subject area, and national standards. Good stuff!

Wow. Also check out the comments. I plan to use this in class to show the students that there is still persecution of Christians when they try to proclaim "The foolishness of God."

Video podcast from my friends at TechSmith - edtech focus - screencasting and iBooks tips

A great reminder of why we use technology in the classroom. Check out the posters at the bottom of the post. Great for inservice........

Saw this the other week and made it my desktop as a reminder.

As Sallie was Googling at the Summit at WLC, I was presenting at a one to one conference down the road at CUW. We explored the philosophy in connection to the possiblities offered by chromebooks, tablets, etc. In my research, Dave Tess and Jason Schmidt came through with some information on the latest chromebooks and their inability to project easily through VGA projectors. This is another reason that chrombooks can't be considered a teacher's main device, IMHO. Also, this information impacts purchasing of classroom projectors for the future.

Great guide for best practices on using a wiki in the classroom.

Lots of links for classroom and professional development resources.
