Jeremy Rinkel Fostering a Globally Competent Student through the use of Technology

Adam Cohen FREE Tools that I have found effective

Greetings I wanted to share two tech tools that I have found to be very helpful. The first is for PC and Mac. It is called DropBox. Perfect for making sure that you have all the files you need in all the computers that you use. For example, when I save a file to the desktop that I use here at school, a copy gets saved to my work laptop, and my desktop at home. The best part is I don't have to email files to myself so that I can finish working on them from home, or worry about using a Jumpdrive… Continue

Sean Nash The Extended Value of Classroom Networks

Connected
An interesting thing happened on the way home from Educon 2.2 last Sunday night. Walking through the terminal and against my exhaustion, I reflexively checked my mail. Lazy eyes lifted open, I flicked my thumb scrolling… trolling for a demand of action. I’m hyper-connected. I pay for it. And yet, I’m a better teacher and leader because of it. This is the sort of thing that I am betting many folks in this network

Carol E. Kubota Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro (Breeze)

This week was a very busy week. We worked on our Midterm Projects. I decided to find out what Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro could offer in the classroom. It is a very interesting program and has so much to offer both learners and instructors. I became so involved in trying it out that I wanted to know how it really works. I invited some of my classmates to help me try it out. One of them took me up on the offer and I presented my midterm project on the site. It was a great learning experience. The s… Continue

Alan Sitomer Whoosh! Ka-BOOM! The sound of a deadline colliding with reality.

William Lambert TEACHING TECHNIQUES-TEACH THE BRAIN

TEACHING TECHNIQUES-TEACH THE BRAIN, NOT THE STUDENT I am an enthusiastic teacher that believes every student is capable of great success. I have two great friends and one soon to be great friend that cautions my enthusiasm, their contention is that the teacher’s ability may be good or even great, but we must place more accountability on the student. I agree. When I do "how to learn" presentations for students, I tell them they can learn regardless of how negative or ill equipped… Continue
