The Best 33 Educational Technology Blogs for 2012 ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning
In 2006, Sir Ken Robinson took the TED stage and delivered what is now the most viewed TED talk of all times .

He argued that creativity needs to be instilled in education, and with that, sparked a movement. The talk sent ripples through out the world, inspired millions of people, and started a new conversation around what education ought to be. Four years later, he returned to the TED stage , this time with a new question around human potential. It’s become very clear that creativity, imagination, and the nurturing of dreams are what education is meant to be.

When Apple first demonstrated its new map application to featured on iOS 6 at WWDC earlier this year, few were those who would have been to predict how badly it would be mocked and criticized once it replaced Google Maps on the brand’s devices.

Avatars provide students with a safe way of representing themselves while also providing opportunities for creative writing experiences. So why not start out the school year with this simple but powerful learning opportunity? A good idea for a lesson is to start by asking students to create an avatar of their own, complete with a pen name.
