Technology Tools for the Classroom

I discussed different technology tools that can be used in the classroom at Corning, Arkansas. Some of the tools reviewed included: Prezi, Glogster, Voicethread, and Wikispaces. If anyone is interested in the presentation you may find it on prezi.com. Look for the title "Practical Technology Tools to Drive Instruction".

If you were in the professional development at Corning, Arkansas, it would be great if you could fill out this survey.

Grammar and an iPod Touch: Take 5!

I have created a lesson using two iPod Touch or iPhone applications: Grammar Up and William Shakespeare Quotes. The lesson has three objectives: 1. comprehend a segment of grammar, 2. analyze the incorrect responses and 3. evaluate the grammar structure in a Shakespeare quote. My full instructions to this lesson should be available as a podcast in iTunes-U Arkansas around August. However, you can also view the written lesson plan at iPod Lesson Plan. It is a bit different from the podcast, but still effective.
