Eclectic Technology

A different education technology tool for every letter of the alphabet! So many ways to bring technology into learning.

A look at 26 tools organized alphabetically. Begin with Audioboo, a program that allows you to record and share audio blogs, and end with Zooblogs, a "safe online publishing tool" with another 24 listed. Although you may know some of these chances are good there will be one or two new ones. Have you heard of Wingclips, Thumbscribe or Studeous? How about NoteMesh, My Maths or Fluxtime? Head over and see if there is a new tool that you may use for yourself or your students.

Many bloggers now have Pinterest boards and this post provides links to 20 boards that look at education technology. All boards are curated by teachers, admins and others whom have an interest in education. Some may lead you to blogs you may not have seen before. The post provides a link to the board as well as a short description of of items being curated.

Have fun exploring!

Are you thinking of flipping your classroom? Do you see a flipped classroom as watching videos? Think again. Peter Pappas suggests that a flipped classroom is "really about creating more time for in-class student collaboration, inquiry, and interaction. It's also is a powerful catalyst for transforming the teacher from content transmission to instructional designer and changing students from passive consumers of information into active learners taking a more collaborative and self-directed role in their learning."

He provides a "slide deck" that has strategies, resources, lesson and more to help you make this transition.
