"With this new application in Google Docs ( Drive ), teachers can now record their audio comments and share them with their students. I see this as a better way to give feedback on students' work and I do believe there are things we can express with our voice that no written code could ever capture like the tone and intonation..etc."

Today, in addition to introducing children to books and curating collections in school libraries, teacher-librarians are doing the same with websites and online information. They often research and vet appropriate websites ahead of time to provide to teachers when they're covering a particular subject, just as they do with books. But they also teach students to do better Internet searches, refine their search terms, and become more independent. Part of the challenge is a trend teachers and librarians call "satisficing," a combination of satisfying and sufficient or suffice, said Finlay. In other words, students' approach is often "get what I need for an assignment and hand it in." Teacher-librarians aim to get students to look deeper into their subjects.

7 Habits Of Highly-Effective Teachers Who Effectively Use Technology
Via Susan Bainbridge
Back in 2007, two high school science teachers in Woodland Park, CO, decided to try a “crazy idea.” “We said, ‘What if we stopped lecturing and committed all our lectures to videos?’” says Jon Bergmann, now the lead technology facilitator at the Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth, IL. He and fellow educator Aaron Sams posted their short films—15 to 20 minutes long—for students to watch at home. (Parents could also look and say, “Oh, I see how the teacher wants it done!” says Bergmann.)
