But I think the means to overcome these can be found once tablet use in the classroom becomes an ‘ICT entitlement’ - which it should. 10 Free Web 2.0 Tools. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to attend the first Ozarks Education Research Initiative (OERI) Teacher Technology Conference at Willard High School (MO).

I will be incorporating them into how I teach and hopefully by using these tools during faculty meetings, PD sessions, and other opportunities as they arise, this will help us all to find ways to incorporate them into the classroom to engage our students even more. This quote from last week has stuck with me ever since it was spoken – “Date the tool. Marry the idea.” Free online tutorials for learning to use technology and ict in education.
