Researching a topic can be a very daunting task for students. The educational search engine, InstaGrok, is a great research tool for students as it eliminates unnecessary information and focuses on the educational content.

The following model presents the various digital technologies resources and how it can be used to demonstrate students learning and knowledge. This model assists students in developing general capabilities needed in the 21st century (ACARA, 2013). However this model allows special education teachers to effectively and responsibly select and manipulate appropriate technologies, resources, materials and equipment to meet the learning needs of students with disabilities and impairments (ACARA, 2013).

Love this great post from the folks at Always Prepared entitled: ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teachers Who Use Technology‘ and the infographic it inspired from Mark Bates. Both highlight “The Habitudes” of educators who are effectively using technology to enhance and impact teaching and learning. Hat tip to Shawn McCusker for this awesome Twitter find!

Infographics are interesting–a mash of (hopefully) easily-consumed visuals (so, symbols, shapes, and images) and added relevant character-based data (so, numbers, words, and brief sentences).
The learning application for them is clear, with many academic standards–including the Common Core standards–requiring teachers to use a variety of media forms, charts, and other data for both information reading as well as general fluency...

Ken's Key Takeaway:
I knew about the OCR in photos. I did not know about the OCR .pdf function. Awesome!
Ken
Are you a digital packrat? Are you in need of a searchable repository for everything you want to recall later? Does the idea of automatic OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for all your scanned PDFs get you excited in a way only seriously organised people could ever understand? If so, Evernote is the tool you need right now – and we’ve got the perfect manual to get you started using it like a professional.
