Lot of online tools, some are useful, some not as much.<br />
Edmodo is really good even for not so savvy students like me, it is like Twitter for education.<br />
<br />
Also check these :<br />
<br />
Curriki, Mobl21 and Footnote are other useful online web apps.

If you are familiar with Google wave, many people think that it will revolutionize education...<br />
<br />
I would like to invite you to take advantage of the information available for educators using Google Wave at my blog<br />

I regularly use a smartboard and a smart airliner wireless slate. I love both of these devices. I also use vernier logging equipment and software for designing and measuring experiments. I utilize Lego Mindstorms robotics equipment in class to show different simple machines, gear ratios and sensors etc. the kids really like using that stuff.<br />

Recently, I've been using a pulse smart pen by livescribe to record some of my lessons and put them on the website. Here is an example: (for some reason lately, the image has not been showing up.. just click the link up top called "workandpower")<br />
<br />
This was one of my early pencasts- it's pretty crude. Lately, I've been adding music- and some goofy drawings to spice it up.<br />

Glogster, Animoto and Wordle are among my favorites because they are free and innovative. Otherwise, I use a lot of these sites... <a href="http://www.mrwylie.com/web-links.html" target="_blank">http://www.mrwylie.com/web-links.html</a> ... from my class website. If you want to teach elementary, there is probably a lot here you could use.<br />
<br />
As for what I dont like? I would probably say Twitter is not something I would likely not use. I know that some people do, but it is too random for me.

Hey! The main rule of thumb is only use technology when it enhances learning. Many times, teachers use technology for the sake of using technology. Some of the hot tech projects going on involve video. Students of all ages are able to use the pocket camcorders (Flip, Vado, etc.) and then learn to edit those movies in Windows Movie Maker (or a commerical package). Instead of a written summary, there is now a video summary. Next, the video can be uploaded to the teacher/student website/blog for…
Hey! The main rule of thumb is only use technology when it enhances learning. Many times, teachers use technology for the sake of using technology. Some of the hot tech projects going on involve video. Students of all ages are able to use the pocket camcorders (Flip, Vado, etc.) and then learn to edit those movies in Windows Movie Maker (or a commerical package). Instead of a written summary, there is now a video summary. Next, the video can be uploaded to the teacher/student website/blog for viewing by parents. Digital storytelling is also big--really a slideshow presentation with audio. Microsoft PhotoStory is free for downloading. Voicethreads.com is an on-line solution and has more interesting features like audio & video comments by viewers. Both of these involve knowing hardware (webcams, pocket camcorders, microphones, etc.) I haven't even touched on interactive whiteboards, classroom response systems, document cameras and the like. Let me know if you'd like me to narrow my focus on any of this. It is usually good to pick one facet of tech and get some success with that project. Google Wave is a new form of e-mail that is collaborative as opposed to regular e-mail. Many people can be part of a wave and and add their input. Sort of like e-mail, wiki, twitter, etc. Let me know if you need an invite and I can get you one. It is in beta testing now and you need an invite. If you want one, I will need to know your e-mail address. Sorry so long! Have a great night!
