 * Resources from ISTE 2010**

Hello all - here are the wikispaces and websites/resources that caught my attention and could really be utilized in the classroom.

I thought this workshop on active learning was GREAT and I will totally be using some of these strategies in the classroom

http://ehanceactivelearntechnology.wikispaces.com/

Use the navigation on the left side of the page; it’s got GREAT resources like online whiteboards (KWL), text-to-voice programs (Think Pair Share) and WallWisher (think sticky notes on a big wall). These tools can be integrated into class lessons to promote communication and facilitate sharing of ideas in class. Also, the other “pages” offer great ways to make learning more “active” and engaging. Loved it!

Another workshop which I thought was good was starting a student broadcast program (video). Depending on the age levels, I think that classrooms can do this very simply and adapt the provided template (bonus!) to highlight a project done in the class. (Collaborative effort between homeroom/subject teacher and computer!)

Navigate through the “presentation” with the menu listed directly underneath the title. (All the underlined “headlines” with the big ISTE logo) The left side navigation menu gives you information on the school district/office that presented, which is pretty neat!

One great workshop I went to talked about technology that can be used for struggling students. However, these sites and tools can be used for all students, in my opinion.

[I will type up the list and post it up here as soon as I can! Unfortunately, there is no link. Also, I will highlight a few of the tools that I feel could help our students.]

I don't know if anyone is checking my page, but here is an article I think we, as teachers, can relate to:
