Technology Website

So I’m making a (Weebly) website with a bunch of ideas for our 1:1 technology. I’m intending it to be a place for the less enthusiastic people to get started. Here’s what I’ve got so far as my pages. (Also we’re getting Macbook Pros)

Books

  • Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works
  • Oversold and Underused
  • Stratosphere: Integrating Technology, Pedagogy, and Change Knowledge

Websites

  • Weebly (my favorite!)
  • Wikispaces
  • Edmodo
  • Prezi

I’m considering a third page on common Mac issues and how to solve them.

Any additions to the pages I have? Or new pages I could add?

Forensics Unit

Just ordered fingerprinting powder and brushes!  I’ve got several awesome blood splatter, teeth mark, tire mark, K9, and identifying powders labs lined up too. We are going to have fun with science until the end of the year if it’s the last thing I do!

i feel my american-bred sense of entitlement the most when i get annoyed that the ‘united states’ is sorted in alphabetical order on a drop down menu and not just listed at the top

Everyone on the technology steering committee was asked to print out a motivational quote to guide us. Also I’ll be picking a book to read over the summer about technology in the classroom if anyone has any suggestions!
