iLearntechnology was created by a former teacher and technology integration specialist. It gives various resources for teachers ranging from blogs to web2.0 tools. As a technology instructor myself, I hate to reinvent wheels, so having a starting point gives me the motivation to either use a lesson plan as it is or adapt it to fit the need of my students.
Again, I am always looking for new lesson ideas because when you do the same thing over and over again, it gets boring for you as the teacher even if the students are new. This feed gives various lesson ideas and articles on different things being done with common applications.
This feed offers links to FREEBIES for teachers, lesson plans, and technology integration articles. I like this one because it doesn't only look at technology in the regular education classroom but there were a couple articles dealing with students with special needs and students with learning disabilities including ADHD. Even though I don't necessarily teach these students, I could offer the resource to the teachers who do.
Okay, I am a self professed tech junkie. This site really has nothing to do with my profession as much as it has to do with my passion. There are so many neat gadgets and tools on this site as well as gag type techy gifts and apparel. It's a geek squad's dream! I could possibly find little rewards to give to my students or I can direct my fellow techy colleagues to this feed/page.
The use of iPhone, iPods and most recently, iPads in the classroom is sweeping through schools and school districts rapidly. The newest middle school to open in my district will be equipped with one to one iPads for every student. Hardcopy textbooks will be a thing of the past as ebooks will be the way of the land. This feed could give ideas and more information about how popular this technology marvel is becoming.
