New Thinking from Class

Some ways one teacher integrates technology in her classroom:

• computer
• Internet
• student laptops
• SMART Board- cooperative learning and actively engage students, participation
• online collaborative projects to work with peers and connect with other students around the world
• reaching out to experts in the field
• keypal/epal- different languages
• daily blogs to inform parents and assignments online for students, student recognition (others outside of the school), "open classroom"
• Students write blogs about current events(paper journal, now even more current), sharing perspectives, global citizen

could do before
couldn't do before
could do but better now

If the technology is allowing us to do something we couldn't do before or we could do but now it is better, that is the technology we should be using. 

Don't use personal technology tools in the classroom, don't put it at risk.  There needs to be a seperation between personal and professional.
