This site allows you to 'paint' with words. Simply type in the text (a single word or a longer passage) then choose a text size and colour. Click on the main screen, move your mouse and the words will be 'painted'. You can save your work too.

This is seriously cool! Developed by Tim Holman, along with a bunch of other really cool things, Texter lets you create images with words. In lots of different colours:) My first thought was to use Texter when I give my learners new vocabulary at the start of a unit. After they have developed understanding of the new vocab I want to challenge them to creat an image using the words to illustrate the meaning of the words. Any thought?

Who owns our stuff? The answer used to be obvious. Now, with electronics integrated into just about everything we buy, the answer has changed. The issue goes beyond cellphone unlocking, because once we buy an object -- any object -- we should own it.

This kind of thing makes me a little bit angry and a little bit sad. And a lot cynical! I have the deep feeling that in many ways our lives aren't entirely our own anymore. I love technology and the things I can do with it. But at the same time I have a building sense of dread inside me. Maybe it comes from this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzryBRPwsog and/or this http://www.george-orwell.org/1984.

Space-age gadgetry is out and 1960s simplicity appears to be back in favour when it comes to low-emissions living.

This is a really interesting idea. I like the recycling angle, as well as the simplicity. Thoughts? |

The disastrous earthquake in Haiti taught humanitarian groups an unexpected lesson: the power of mobile devices to coordinate, inform, and guide relief efforts.

This is why ICT is important. No. Vital! Our students need to see things like this so that they understand the positive aspects of technology. They need to see that SMS, Facebook & Twitter are so much more than just a way sharing silly photos of themselves. This technology has the power to affect real, positive change.

So many of the educational discussions these days are touting the newest technologies (many of which I embrace). Too many though, I fear, are willing to abandon tried and true "old school" pedagogical strategies in an attempt to incorporate the latest and greatest. Just because it's new doesn't inherently make it better. This video is a comical reminder that some old technologies and old strategies are worth keeping. Let's keep some paper in the educational system.

You've more than likely seen this already, but I think it is worth sharing. I love technology. I love using it in the classroom. But it is just a tool - a crap teacher with a laptop is still a crap teacher. I firmly believe that there is room for the traditional as well as the innovative. Enjoy:)

Love this image - technology is a tool we can either use badly or effectively; its not the 1 answer we should expect to work without any effort! |
I think are some very useful apps here for teachers who are actively using ICT in the classroom.
