You might be looking for ways to refresh or update your bag of tricks. Or maybe you’re trying to meet new technology requirements, such as using interactive whiteboards. Or perhaps you’re just curious to find out how technology tools can enhance your teaching and your students’ experience and engagement in your courses.
If you’ve hesitated to incorporate technology tools into your practice – due to either discomfort or limited time – we’re here to help.
Ryan Goble, who often coaches teachers in what he calls the “mindful” use of technology, has written today’s guest post on user-friendly tools that enable the creation of student projects. Ryan is an adjunct professor of education at Aurora University and Roosevelt University in Chicago, and the founder of the site Mindblue Productions and the social network Making Curriculum Pop.
All of the tools are free as of this writing. Some do ask you to enter your e-mail address, but don’t be spooked – usually it’s just to help the site protect and identify your work and communicate with you securely. (Remember, too, that of the great tools and other resources out there available for purchase, some may well be worth the cost.)
