Again, some repeat the same information, so you do not need to read through all of them.

These will be the primary discussion areas for this week.

Lesson Plan assignment

Please create a lesson plan dealing with having you class do something using technology. Specifically, you should explain some aspect of technology to your students and have them use it, show it, demonstrate it in some manner. It should challenge them, but it should be fun for them.

You may chose to design the lesson plan in whatever methodology you are comfortable with and plan to show it to our group as part of the hangout. It’s your choice what you use. Plan on the explanation to take between 10 – 15 minutes or so.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Enjoy

Next set

Everyone,

Your comments were all wonderful. We have begun a very high energy discussion.

I have posted a new set of readings below for your use. I want us to continue where we left off last time with the readings we diid not get to, particularly the Edutopia article and the article talking about digital games, but then get into some of the selections from this new set.

As before, please feel free to pull in readings from the list included with the course outline as well as something you have discovered yourself. The energy we had last week was very exciting and I know we can maintain that.

See you tomorrow night.

Steve

4) This is a wonderful resource I have posted before but is worth repeating

Technology in Education

This section focuses on one of the most discussed issues in education today–how to integrate technology into the classroom. Articles range from the pros and cons of “BYOD” (Bring Your Own Device) policies to teaching with digital tablets. There are lists of websites with free resources and tips on how to use interactive white boards and Learning Management Systems. Tech savvy as well as tech wary educators will find this section enlightening.
