New Tech Blog

I found a great blog called ilearntechnology.com.  The post that stood out the most to me was about digital storytelling.  This blog tries out technology, gives background about the tool, and then tells how to implement it into the classroom.  This is a fantastic idea.  Many times, teachers find great technology, but have no idea how to use it in the classroom.  This blog was helpful and had many posts of different types of technology.  The digital storytelling post reviewed a tool that any student can use.  The problem I run into when trying to implement digital storytelling into the classroom is that many students don't have the software at home to complete the project.  The tool described can be accessed from the internet on any computer.  I like how the blog gives examples and makes implementing technology seem more fun instead of a chore.

  1. Thanks for the post. I'll checkout that blog it sounds like it could be helpful for our classrooms and this class too. I definitely agree about not knowing where to start sometimes when it comes to implementing things in my classroom.

  3. What a great resource. Thanks for sharing it. I also find it hard to implement techonology into my classroom when I have these great ideas. It is nice to see what others are doing and how they are using it.
