The article states, "The devices that help the least, especially in classrooms, are those that the teachers don't understand." I couldn't agree more. I agree with this author. I bel...

Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Podcast for Free on a PC. A podcast is an audio recording that's available on the internet. The only things needed to make a podcast are a PC or a phone. The steps to make a podcast are record, upload and share. There are free websites that allow the student to speak in to the computer microphone. The website will produce a URL that can be shared with the student or their family. There are also other websites and phone recording that make creating podcasts easy. I love this idea!

In this article I found another interactive tool, the VoiceThread, that is easy for both the teacher and student to use and has a great deal of potential for any classroom. The only downside seems to be that it is proprietary software and therefore involves some upfront money. Sunday, May 23, 2010. Basically what Forest Lake has...

Thursday, June 4, 2009. Knight, P., Pennant, J., Piggot, J. 2005 The Power of the Interactive Whiteboard, Micromath Summer 2005 pages 11 - 15. The results were that the teachers found that the students were more motivated but were unable to specifically link this to the white boards.
