This document provides an agenda and resources for an education technology session. It includes tools for podcasting, blogging, creating presentations and stories with images, using QR codes and word clouds, flipping the classroom, using Moodle and other online tools, and creating animations from text. Examples and directions for using many of these tools in the classroom are provided. The goal is to share different ways teachers can incorporate technology into their lessons and have students collaborate online.

5. First a ning used with 7th grader
students
FROM THE ELA TEACHER:
It is most commonly used for sharing my flipped classroom
videos as well as a platform for students to blog and get
feedback on their writing. Right now many kids are posting
on the peers' Defining Moment Personal Narrative blogs and
in the next few weeks we'd like to add a multimedia piece
and start working on digital portfolios.
We, as a teachers, have also tried to use the site to model
effective feedback and the important role that collaboration
plays in the writing process. The kids very much enjoy that
their writing can be made public and it's built a nice
community within the room too.
