7 Ways to Use Google Keep in Your Classroom This week's Practical Ed Tech Tip of the Week featured a demonstration of how to use Google Keep to annotate images. That is just one of many ways that you and your students can use Google Keep. G Suite for Education users, remember that Google Keep is now a core product in G Suite. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Using SAMR to Teach Above the Line - Getting Smart by Susan Oxnevad - 1:1 program, Apple, edchat, EdTech, SAMR, technology For as long as I can remember I have been an advocate for helping teachers understand the stages of technology integration to help them effectively use tech as a tool for learning. I’ve adopted a few different tech integration models over the years, discussed the ideas with administrators for use as a starting point for tech integration, and kept the ideas front of mind as I invent and discover new ways for using technology as a tool for learning. Discussing the stages of tech integration has led to some thought provoking and inspiring conversations, but the ideas have not gained a lot of momentum in my face-to-face teaching environment until now. About SAMR Researchers have determined that technology integration typically moves through specific levels. The SAMR model is a useful tool for helping teachers think about their own tech use as they begin to make small shifts in the design and implementation of technology driven learning experiences to achieve the next level.

How to Search for Creative Commons Images Last week, through Larry Ferlazzo, I learned about a new Creative Commons image search engine. The search engine is a part of the Creative Commons website. One of the best aspects of the search engine is that the results generated include a quick way to copy the correct image attribution information that you need when you use an image. In the video embedded below I demonstrate how to use the new Creative Commons image search engine. If you're not sure what Creative Commons is, watch the following short video from Common Craft. Common Craft videos can be viewed for free online but to download them or embed them you do have to be a subscriber to their service.
#PSP2012 VIDEO – KR | c f e d | cfee archives | @c_f_e_d Sir Ken Robinson concludes the morning sessions of “Teaching and Learning at Home and at School” by inviting educators and parents to collaborate in the design of a covenant of shared principles to transform our schools. First, Robinson identifies an agenda of issues on which we need to focus as we move forward: vexing economic, cultural, and personal challenges with which our education system has not caught up. Then, Robinson asserts that our current system is incapable of dealing properly with these challenges, owing to a ‘command and control mentality’ among political leaders, and invites stakeholders at the grassroots level — in our classrooms, and in our homes — to create an agenda not just for reform, but for transformation. Further information and related resources are provided below the embedded video. To advance the presentation to key transitions, drag the slider to the indicated timeframes:
Dématérialiser les environnements d’apprentissage Stéphane Allaire Professeur au département des sciences de l’éducation et de psychologie de l’Université du Québec à Chicoutimi Les nouvelles technologies vont bouleverser la manière d’enseigner. Il ne sera bientôt plus nécessaire de se déplacer pour obtenir son diplôme universitaire. Par Marc-André Sabourin Les salles de classe où les étudiants écoutent le professeur, assis en rangs d’oignons, seront bientôt chose du passé. Et cette révolution a déjà commencé. Au Québec, rien de tel encore, mais les universités entendent s’y préparer. Mais les enseignants sont-ils prêts à de tels changements? Les nouvelles technologies pourraient cependant offrir l’opportunité d’améliorer les méthodes d’enseignement. Le Web permet notamment d’élargir le réseau auquel l’étudiant a accès. Stéphane Allaire et Glorya Pellerin collaborent au projet «Écoles éloignées en réseau», mis en place en 2002, qui permet à près de 120 écoles secondaires et primaires de profiter de cette petite révolution.
An Introduction to Twitter Education Chats Teachers must be models of lifelong learning, but besides occasionally reading books and blogs, attending conferences, and collaborating with a handful of colleagues at school, how can we extend both the reach and frequency of our interactions with our fellow educators? Twitter education chats (edchats) are the answer for an increasing number of teachers and administrators, who eagerly participate in these online sessions because doing so meets their professional growth needs as well as their desire to contribute to the education conversation. Building a strong and satisfying personal learning network (PLN) through edchats gives you your own professional support system and a reliable resource for the cutting edge in education—all in real time. Once you become part of this global community of educators, you’ll find a sense of professional camaraderie that will help you through the tough times.

edutopia Plenty of students may know how to create digital media, but too few know how to produce engaging, high-quality content, the kind that makes them stand out not only to college admission officers, but also to potential employers. What does that kind of quality involve? We need to teach and encourage students to post original, outstanding content that will distinguish their unique identities in a sea of increasingly indistinguishable resumes -- which are going the way of the typewriter. To help accomplish this task, I model creating a positive digital footprint by making effective use of social networking and blogging. Facebook Educators do students a tremendous disservice by demonizing Facebook, which can enhance a student's online presence and real-world prospects. Twitter I also show students my Twitter account, which includes links to articles that I've written, content that I've enjoyed, and causes that I support. LinkedIn Snapchat Blogging

The Epic BYOD Toolbox PowerSchool Learning: (Previously Haiku Learning.) This is a full learning management system (LMS) that I’m trying to get our school to adopt. It’s multiplatform and robust, which makes it a great fit for our BYOD environment. There are many other content-sharing platforms, like Moodle, Canvas, and CourseSites. Screencasting and Capturing What Happens in Class If you’re going to share and interact with your students in the electronic and physical spaces (as you should), you must learn how to screencast. In some exciting news, Apple has announced that iOS 11 (out later this year) will include screen recording capabilities and new screenshot features. Screencast-O-Matic: This is my go-to app. Cloud Syncing Dropbox: If you shoot video and need to get it onto your computer, Dropbox is essential. Expression Students need multiple ways to share and to express themselves, particularly verbally and with pictures. Blogging Ning: Ning looks like a social media site because it is.

edutopia Overview Integrating Technology Instructional Coaching Hampton High School has integrated technology across its entire program with a full-time instructional coach who supports the teachers in this work. The presence of a coach sharpens the school's focus on how technology can best make the learning more engaging and relevant for students, and gives teachers support in navigating the vast field of technology applications and devices. How It's Done Funding: How They Got Started Hampton High School initially received funds from the state-funded “Classrooms for the Future,” Pennsylvania’s three-year grant program that gave schools technology equipment and required them to turn a classroom teacher into an instructional coach to help support technology use. Bringing Teachers on Board Principal Jeff Finch admits that the first year of having an instructional coach to integrate technology was a hard sell for teachers.
