Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. Digital Citizen AUA. A Tale Of Three Teachers. The young teacher started right off making a rookie mistake in the opening minutes of his first class, on his very first day. “How many of you know what a liter is?” He asked his high school math class. “Give me a thumbs up if you know, thumbs down if you don’t.” None of the kids responded, so he entreated, “Come on, I just need to know where you are. Thumbs up if you know, thumbs down if you don’t.” An experienced teacher would not have asked students to volunteer their ignorance. But the rookie didn’t know any better. Another first year teacher made a rookie mistake in the spring.

Teacher 2.0 - Your Personal and Professional Growth. Home Page. Top 100 Sites of 2011. 1/12/2012 By: The time is finally here for my annual list of favorite sites of the year. This year I decided to up my post to the top 100 instead of 25 because of the number of sites that I reviewed and the popularity of the post. I tried to cover a wide range of sites, from flash-card creators to digital storytelling, and of course social networks, which really stood out in 2011.
I hope everybody enjoys the list and has as much fun reading it as I did creating it. 1.
