<p>To Whom It May Concern, </p>
<p> I am a graduate student at the University of Maryland University College in the Instructional Technology master’s program.I also am in my second year teaching, as the lead Preschool teacher at my current school. My graduate classes have been focusing on the global perspectives of technology integration in education. I am reaching out to anyone to discuss the importance of technology in the classroom, especially in an early childhood classroom or a classroom outside of the United States, and how you incorporate or would like to use it in your classroom. </p>
<p>I would like over a period of time get to know you, your educational system, and the use of technology that is used within your school or district. Feel free to reach out to me via email. I look forward to hearing from you. </p>
<p>Thank you,</p>

<p></p> Seeking resources for health and wellbeing technologies.tag:www.classroom20.com,2013-03-10:649749:Topic:9179052013-03-10T10:22:55.238ZEiren Thomashttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/EirenThomas
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am new to Classroom 2.0 and am looking for resources across all grade levels in order to teach about technologies used in health and wellbeing. </p>
<p>My initial idea is to look at lifestyles throughout history and how technology has shaped how we live. For example, how medicines have changed over the past 200 years and what this means to us today or how advancements have affected our wellbeing through the introduction of household water and sewerage.</p>

<p>Eiren</p> The use of iPads as a teaching tooltag:www.classroom20.com,2012-12-04:649749:Topic:8959972012-12-04T10:09:38.842ZChristopher Heathhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/ChristopherHeath
I'm conducting a study on the use of tablets, and more specifically iPads, as an educational tool. The reason for this study is two fold. Firstly I have been given an ipad as part of my PGCE course, with seemingly little thought on its actual use, and secondly because I have a group of PE students who were given iPads as part of their course. If anyone has experience of using them as an educational tool I would be interested in hearing your experiences and suggestions.

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p></p>
<p>As a mother of two and one struggling academically and socially with learning disabilities, I'm seriously concerned about the implications of the new Common Core standards. I'm curious if anyone knows of any good resources for parents?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance,</p>

Makerspaces, hackerspaces, and libraries are emerging as key out-of-school hubs for out-of-school learning. In some cities, these entities work in parallel but not in partnership. <br/> <br/> In Ann Arbor, Michigan, however, K-12 educators, graduate students, entrepreneurs, academics, and university staff members are in the early days of pooling our expertise. Game designers learn tips from K-12 educators, and professors learn from makerspace enthusiasts. We’re excited about the potential for bringing together different perspectives, networks, skill sets, and knowledge so that great learning happens throughout our community.<br/> <br/> Join us for a panel discussion in which we explore our experiences with makerspaces for inquiry learning, badging, e-textiles, and open educational resources … and the power of sharing what we know.<br/> <br/> <strong>Websites / URLs Associated with Your Session:</strong> Will share in presentation<b id="internal-source-marker_0.6483478725422174"><br/></b></p> The Role of Peer Input in Online Coursestag:www.classroom20.com,2012-05-14:649749:Topic:8371122012-05-14T21:41:41.204ZDiana Hansenhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/DianaHansen

<p><b>Short Session Description (one line): </b></p>
<p> Students are empowered to use a multitude of web 2.0 tools and iPad apps to create dynamic, engaging STEM application productions relative to their current learning targets, attaining higher levels of understanding and retention.</p>
<p><b>Full Session Description (as long as you would like):</b></p>
<p>Empower your students create 21st century STEM projects, with the goal of helping close the STE....M Gap. Students reach higher levels of retention and learning when they use science and engineering applications to develop the STEM connections to the algebraic foundations, creating a clear bridge between the mathematical theory/algorithm and the scientific application. Students choose a web tool to serve as the foundation of the project but then embed and upload other web tools to create a dynamic, engaging STEM integration.<br/> The wiki has become a tool that both science and math teachers use to help close this gap, create a bridge of learning between the otherwise isolated subjects, while allowing students to prepare for 21st century learning and living.<br/> <br/> Science teachers use these short presentations to help introduce scientific calculations and applications of math and algebra.<br/> Math teachers use these presentations at the end of a learning sequence to show the students how they will be applying these skills to analyze scientific behaviors and outcomes, beyond what the math text offers for the applications.<br/> <br/> By encouraging the development of 21<sup>st</sup> C. presentations, your students will be engaged as 21<sup>st</sup> C learners and will more clearly understand the relationships between the science & engineering applications and the relative algebraic foundation, improving their fluency between the academics while becoming fluent users of web 2.0 technology tools and resources.</p>
<p>Peg is a 2010 Siemens STEM Fellow who strives to integrate and align mathematics and science learning targets, integrating and connecting algebraic foundations relative to scientific applications. Her students have developed a web page which has become a resource for both math and science teachers from around the world. Because of her students' continued success, Siemens invited Peg back to play an active role as a Siemens STEM Institute team member in 2011. Peg continues to help teachers grow, coaching colleagues K - 12 in 21st C learning, integrating technology effectively through iPads apps, mobile devices, interactive whiteboards, green screen, stop action video, and a host of web 2.0 tools.</p>

I have a teacher who is struggling with a student in the classroom, and I think using some online resources and physical manipulatives would help, but I have no idea where to point her for help.<br />
I have taught English 9-12 and web page construction, but pre-cal is out of my range. I would love some input on where to direct this eager teacher.<br />
