Welcome back! And don't forgot, tomorrow night we'll have our weekly podcast! Today we begin with a post from Carmel Deamicis on... Robot teachers! The article, "When Your Teacher is a Robot" discusses the growing influence of computer-based learning in the classroom and the seemingly inevitable rise of robot teachers. It's a great post and offers a lot to consider.
Next up, Tom Vander Ark at Getting Smart has a new article on "EduClipper's Presentation Portfolios." If you're not familiar with EduClipper, it's essentially the Pinterest of education. It's a wonderful resource and you can read our review of the service here. Vander Ark's post discusses the new Presentation Portfolios feature which will allow teachers and students to easily organize their clipboards into presentations.
Free Tech for Teachers has five new posts to check out:
Edudemic has a new article on "Why Teachers Should be Preparing for a Multi-Screen Classroom." The post discusses how most people use a variety of screens/devices in their daily life and that the classroom (especially with BYOD policies becoming more and more popular) is heading that way as well, so teachers need to be ready.
Educational Technology has four new posts from today:
Emerging Ed Tech has a new post on "The Necessity of the Connected Text - Why Just Switching to E-reading Isn't Enough." The article discusses how the free app Subtext can be used as an e-reader that also links the text to outside resources like Google and Wikipedia. It's a great app and for the full review, check out the post.
