Apple-Technology leader. We all know Apple could be better but they do create the very best simple products for the masses. The iPad and iPhone are leaders in the market and they will only get better and more powerful as they permeate the live of people who love technology, like me.
Education Technology- I support and promote the implementation of technology in schools. I believe we need to not only get better technology in schools but also give teachers the opportunity to learn how to use this new technology. Most of the times I believe a lot of technology goes to waste because of the lack of training. This blog will help me learn and understand current issues with technology in schools.
Edutopia- Great info on education, technology, and teaching. I have found there are a lot of videos that show real teachers and real students implementing technology in schools. The videos are not only inspirational but they also motivate me to become a better teacher.
PBS Teachers: Media Literacy- I am hoping for information for improvement and integration of media literacy. I know that my Action Research project will deal with media literacy. I believe it is often ignored and needs the same attention as other academic areas.
TED Talks- Amazing. Inspiring. Unbelievable. Get ready for an eye-popping, jaw-dropping experience. TED Talks are the very best presentations on the internet. They can be used in all academic areas. The presentations are between three and 20 minutes so being able to watch them is a breeze. Even if you don't care about the topic, TED Talks are useful representations of how to give a presentation. The formula is called the TED Commandments; ten rules all TEDsters must follow during their presentation. Watch. Learn. Enjoy. You will not be disappointed.
YouTube: TED Talks- Never too much TED.
Thanks, Ken
