The document discusses strategies for integrating technology into K-12 education in a meaningful way. It recommends that teachers carefully plan technology use to enhance their teaching of core curriculum, rather than just adding tech for its own sake. It provides examples of using blogs, wikis, websites and Google Earth to engage students, foster collaboration and critical thinking, and align with 21st century skills. The document also introduces various free Web 2.0 tools that can be used in the classroom, such as creating multimedia projects with Google Docs, Eduglogster and Bitstrips for Schools.

1. YouTube: A vision of K-12 Education

3. Before you start to Integrate Technology: Where Have You Been? Where are you Now? Where are you Going? Where do you Want to Go?

4. Careful Planning Make sure you’re not adding “Tech” You are teaching your material in an alternative way

6. Kids in today’s world need to learn how to …..

13. 21 st Century Learning aligns with UDL for students with disabilities & everyone else UDL (Universal Design for Learning): Enable all individuals to gain knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm for learning. Using multiple means of representation, multiple means of action & expression, and multiple means of engagement you can create lessons & curriculum that all learners can participate in . For more information visit the CAST.org website.

14. Simplify the Planning Technology Integration Determine unit goals from core curriculum content area Formulate curriculum content area objectives - What do I want students to be able to do? (Bloom's Taxonomy) Construct assessment - Determine finished product, which software will be used, and rubric criteria Design activity, process, and specific instructional strategies Look at the National Technology Standards to match the activity to the standards Prepare and photocopy worksheets or graphic organizer for each student Introduce concept in class. Pre-teaching in content area should be thorough enough for students to completely understand what is expected of them If appropriate, use projector to introduce technology tools in class before students come to the lab. This maximizes the time with the computer. When students are on the computer, support them with content area. Facilitate students working collaboratively and helping each other with the technology. You'll quickly find student experts who can show their classmates what buttons to push and which strategies work with the software and hardware. Provide opportunity to share with authentic audience.

I realised we could play a 10 questions type game - where they have only 10 questions to guess the name of the city. It was great fun and soon they were firing away with the questions. 1.Is it in the UK? 2.Is it in Australia? 3.Is it Athens? 4.Does the city have any famous buildings?

70. Top 10 Ways to Use Wordle's Word Clouds for Classroom Lessons Read more: http://www.brighthub.com/education/k-12/articles/59509.aspx#ixzz0pTBhlMap

71. Ideas: Using Word Clouds in Classroom 1. Personal Narratives : Write, or copy and paste, a personal narrative into Wordle. Students will be able to see what is important to their peers from the words that are produced from the Wordle word clouds. Compare the words that are used most often by boys, or girls, by age group, or by class/grade level. These Wordle lessons make great displays outside a classroom. 2. Famous Speeches : Enter the text of a famous historical speech into Wordle. Analyze the results by looking at the most commonly used words, or even the words that are not used. What does this tell us about the orator and their intentions? Go History Place.com to or American Rhetoric for a list of historical speeches you may want to get started with. 3. Create a Wordle Gift : Mother's Day, Father's Day , Grandparent's Day, or even Teacher Appreciation Day, can all be celebrated with Wordle. Input your favorite adjectives for your chosen person, generate the word cloud, and add it to a greeting card, poster, calendar, or whatever else you choose. PC Screen Capture command keys: fn + PrintScreen or Ctrl + Print Screens Brighthub.com Read more: http://www.brighthub.com/education/k-12/articles/58905.aspx#ixzz0pTEHdtlM

72. 4. Classroom Polls : Instead of your traditional bar graph or pictograph, try using Wordle to organize your data. What is the favorite color in your class? Have all students take turns at entering their favorite color in to Wordle and generate the resulting cloud. Bigger words = more popular colors. Repeat with ice cream flavors, pets, family members, etc. 5. Compare and Contrast : Use Wordle as a compare and contrast tool. Compare and contrast the word clouds of two or more students' writing, famous speeches, song lyrics, news reports, book reviews or whatever else you may need to compare in your classroom studies. 6. Student Profiles : I have done this with PowerPoint before, but recently saw someone do the same with Wordle lessons. Have all students in your class write a few positive adjectives about each of their classmates anonymously. Compile all the papers, input the adjectives for each student into Wordle, and generate a student profile word cloud to give back to the student. Children always enjoy this positive feedback exercise, and it can be a great end of year activity to take home from the last day of school. Ideas: Using Word Clouds in Classroom

73. 7. Current Affairs Analysis : Copy and paste a news story into Wordle. What could the story have been about? Can you guess what the headline would have been? Where could have it taken place? These questions and more make this a worthy discussion exercise. 8. Wordle Word Walls : Brighten up your word walls with Wordle lessons. Students can brainstorm synonyms, antonyms, or definitions for their list of vocabulary words. Add your word clouds to your existing word wall work to help stimulate those higher thinking skills in your students. Keep a tally of the targeted vocabulary words that the children use in speech on a daily basis, and them to a Wordle cloud to show which are used most often. 9. Unit Review/Preview Posters : Students can create KWL charts on what they would like to learn and find out about a given topic. Alternatively, create word clouds at the end of a unit to summarize the key learning points or vocabulary from a given topic. 10. Historical Document Analysis : Have you ever wondered what the Magna Carta or Declaration of Independence would look like when pasted into Wordle? Try it and see. There will be lots of talking points from the resulting word cloud. What do you predict you will see? What themes can you identify? How does the word cloud fit in with the historical context of the document? Ideas: Using Word Clouds in Classroom

74. Edu.Glogster: Multimedia Posterboard Its boundless self expression ability transforms curriculum topics into dynamic 21st learning experiences. Critical, analytical thinking involved in choosing elements for their design. Link, embed video, add pictures and sound, and much more in one organized, creative place. Share and embed the glogs you make in other places including classroom websites.

75. Applications for Education Glogster Edu is a great platform for moving stale, 20th Century, poster projects into the 21st Century. Students can use content from the web, or library research to create informative collages. Students can also use Glogster to create a dynamic digital portfolio of videos, artwork, or podcasts they’ve created throughout the year.

76. Glogster in the Classroom Biographies Time lines Math formulas Instructional writing Experiment results Spelling plural verbs Country or state profiles Foreign language Embed them in class websites or student blogs. When you integrate technology into an area of education where it is not traditionally used, it instantly becomes a great motivator for students.

77. Eduglogster Example Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each. Plato

120. Writing Through Visualization Before Tamlyn and Quinn did their descriptive writing, they created storyboards about the action they wanted to represent in an assignment on "expanding the moment" -- making the story more intense by describing a fleeting instant in great detail. From their storyboards, they each created a computer animation of the action. Frame by frame, the animation in turn sparked their imaginations and helped them create word pictures. "It gives you ideas about what you see," says Quinn. Kid Pix was among the computer programs they used. "What the animation does is it assists the children in visualizing the action," explains Mitchell, who teaches language arts enrichment classes . "The animation is a way of them developing the picture so they relate that to the writing, to what they hear, what they see, what they feel." Technology, she adds, "gives you one more way of teaching something." Curtis, Diane, “High Tech in Hawaii”, http:// www.edutopia.org/nuuanu , October 2009.
