one feature caught my eye which was to embed quiz questions into media, guessing that it acts as a gate keeper. Gate keepers unlock the rest of the content or re-direct you back. thought it was interesting.

"Thinglink http://thinglink.com/ was a big hit in the workshop that I facilitated yesterday in Bettendorf, Iowa. Thinglink can be used to turn any static image into an interactive, multimedia image. Yesterday, we used PicMonkey and PicCollage to create collages about what a good learning environment looks like to us. After creating those collages we saved them as PNG files and uploaded them to Thinglink where we added videos, audio files, and links to articles to enhance our collages and make them interactive."

How can we get students more engaged in units of study? What if we design our class so that they have ownership from the beginning of the unit? This post explores this issue, and although the focus is on social studies you could use the same steps in other curricular areas. What are the steps? 1. "Partner students and have them do a speed search on the topic." What can they find in 12 - 15 minutes? Let them generate a list of interest. 2. "Decision by debate." Change partners. Allow them 3 minutes to discuss and rank the topics by interest. 3. "Main characters." Switch partners again. In history you might be looking at key individuals, or key battles in a conflict. There are five more steps that will help students learn to collaborate, analyze perspectives, co-create with you (as the teacher your job is to make sure that all key areas are covered and help create the framework as well as providing additional input where necessary), and more. This type of process allows the students to be engaged and have their voices heard from the beginning....a win-win situation in the classroom.

Designing anything is only worthy if the "end user" has input. This is a brilliant adaptation of that design philosophy. And how can you resist the power in the eyes of this little girl?!

These would seem to correlate with Thomas Friedman's "The world is flat" idea. Basically we need to value and respect all human beings as those people at the bottom of the tree last century wont always be there:
Emotional intelligence (feel things from others point of view). Communication (learn to speak another person's language). Problem-solving (Listen to and understand someone else's pain and joy); Team-working (the ability to liaise with others as humans who feel pain, cry, hurt just as you do).
Basically the emphasis seems to be on humanity as one rather group rather than the superficial differences. The idea is for human beings to leave the savannah. Curating for www.homeschoolsource.co.uk

The key to successful technology integration is the efficient use of digital tools tools that are appropriate for the task. Technology provides us all with the ability to develop our own toolkit of flexible resources for use when needed. Here is a toolkit I assembled that is filled with tools I frequently use for designing flexible student-driven learning experiences. Starting with a good toolkit is essential.
