This document outlines strategies for engaging students with technology in the classroom. It discusses moving through stages of technology integration from novice to expert. Examples provided include having students create Common Craft videos to explain concepts to others, use group blogging to discuss primary sources on the Holocaust, and create their own RSA-style videos on course topics to share online. The document promotes using choices like blogging, Twitter, Skype, and interactive videos to actively involve students in collecting information, relating it to each other, creating new content, and donating their work to share with a wider audience.
