I am also wondering about this. I teach special education, I am just beginning to research and discuss ways students can enhance their creative and innovative thinking using digital tools and resources. How do you enable your students to demonstrate…

Hello Tracy, It looks as though there aren't too many art teachers meeting in the forums. I am out looking for some of the same answers as you are. I could suggest using blogs in the classroom as it allows students to post works, video of the…

One of my favorite quotes: There are two entities in the world that outlaw the use of cell phones, schools and the Taliban! Sad but true. To many pessimists, telling you how cell phones are a distraction, and could be used to cheat and . . . well…

Cell Phones and Syllabi

How do schools and supervisors work with central administrators who wish to outlaw the use of cell phones in instructional situations? Also in any of your schools have you had issues with Ning where the site is not permitted to be used for fear of student access to inappropriate material? Any advice would be helpful.

Tracy Matozzo replied to Peter Cincotta's discussion 'The President's Speech to Students. Who's watching it?'

I am shocked that in a country that espouses democratic principles that some individuals believe that the President's address to future civil participants in unethical or out of the bounds of his abilities. I wonder if some of those same people…

I agree. I wrote nano, but yes, any cheaper MP3 would work fine.

Actually, a wiimote smartboard consists of three pieces of hardware and one piece of software. First, the hardware: 1. A wiimote (about $45.00 at Walmart) 2. A bluetooth adapter (unless there is already one in the computer that you're going to…

Technology and The Arts (Fine/Performing)

What kinds of technology do fine/performing arts teachers like or what kinds of things lend themselves to fostering student achievment in that realm? Any advice would be appreciated.

We have iBoards and Smartboards and some teacher have reviewed Promethean Boards and Mimios, but i will look into wiimotes - is it a complicated board that requires lots of PD or is it just one of those things you need to get comfortable with? If…

Thank you Anthony - I really like the iPod Nano concept and using a kindle for students who shy away from reading may like that idea too. Thanks so much!!

Anthony VonBank replied to Tracy Matozzo's discussion 'What should I buy?'

Just thinking outside the box a bit. Maybe some ideas that you might not think of right away... A laptop or netbook to use as a loaner for students without technology at home? A kindle for students who are not avid readers. They may find it a bit…

John Sowash replied to Tracy Matozzo's discussion 'What should I buy?'

The wiimote smartboard is a neat option. The price is certainly right (if you have the LCD projector already). Keep in mind though that it is a hack and not for the novice techie. I have been using a wiimote board in my room for over a year now and…

David Spencer replied to Tracy Matozzo's discussion 'What should I buy?'

What about Wiimote smartboards? They're pretty cheap ($50 per), support multitouch and can be used with the screen that's probably in each of the rooms already.

Thank you - I will spend some time investigating those products!!

Thank you Gary - that is a great analogy!!

Gary Miller replied to Tracy Matozzo's discussion 'What should I buy?'

iPod Touch is a great idea. However, don't plan on buying these, handing them out and seeing big changes. Plan on lots of training time. Reflection on how they can be used should begin before purchase. They are a wonderful tool, but like a race…

With your interest in Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
