Creating Lifelong Learners

Times web site every day but I still find that there are articles in the printed edition that I somehow miss online. I also find that [...]10+ Top Mac Applications and Utilities
Here’s a list of my favorite Mac applications that do not come with the Mac. Many of them are freeware or shareware. Firefox This one is maybe too obvious to include. However, this open source browser is a must for any Mac user. Many people are shocked when I tell them I much prefer [...]iSchool Worries…Is Technology A Distraction?

Because students can work on the clay animation projects independently these projects don't necessarily take up lots of class teaching time. Setting deadlines and time limits helps a lot. I recorded a podcast of interviews from teachers d...
I have recently had a student show me a clay animation he did for a project. It was incredible. I can think of so many activities this could provide for student engagement. My concern is the amount of time it takes. I plan on looking further into ...
Great news! My students' art-related videos won first place awards at the 8th annual International Shortie Awards in DC. Read the Story
I am hearing buzz words like "instructional or educational technologists" and some schools are hiring specifically to do just that. That is, I believe, the right first steps!
Yes, I agree that filtering often frustrates teachers (myself included). I understand the reasons for filtering but it's too bad that we put our own barriers in the way of implementation. It would be great if we could invest our resources in train...
Hi Matthew,
I was referring to the idea of technology in the classroom. Its change, its new, and it requires a learning curve, on top of what they already have to deal with every day in the classroom. I remember one teacher that was quite eager an...
