100 Free Tech tools for Teachers

I explored this site for a little while. Of great interest to me was a site for the best tech tools for different types of learners (visual, auditory and kinesthetic). This would be a good resource for the Freshmen Focus course at Bonny Eagle and the Real Life course at South Portland when they have students explore their own learning styles. It would help different types of learners access those online tools that they might be most comfortable using at least initially. Students could then share with each other across learning styles to broaden everyone's knowledge of various resources online. Curricki was also full of good resources for developing curriculum across the core content areas and some interdisciplinary curriculum as well. These are resources that teachers often ask me to find for them as they develop curriculum.

Thanks to Connie and Steve for directing us to these useful sites.

Tech Integration 2.0

Each time I participate in one of these seminars as the GSP coach I am amazed at the new ideas that Steve and Connie share as well as those from the participants of the five SLC schools. Our iWalkthrough data and our survey data indicates a significant increase in technology use by both teachers and students in schools. Is it a direct correlation with these seminars? Hard to say but also hard NOT to believe that it is. From the very first seminar three years ago until now we've had at least 30% of the over 500 teachers from the five schools participate in one of the technology seminars. They, in turn, have taught other colleagues what they have learned. Connie and Steve have worked hard to update their presentations with the latest technology integration possibilities and classroom practice reflects this!
