Welcome back! And if it's your first day of school, I hope it's a great one! Today we begin at Edudemic with a post on "2 Basic Ways to Add Technology To Your Curriculum." The article covers how teachers can build off of their existing curriculum and begin to integrate social media. If you're looking to get started with classroom tech, start here!
Free Tech for Teachers has four new posts from today:
Justin Boyle at Emerging Ed Tech has an excellent new post on the pros and cons of virtual education conferences, "Are Virtual Education Conferences Worth the Time and Effort." Boyles discusses the basic setup of virtual conferences (if you've never "attended" one) and goes on to discuss the possible problems and benefits.
Educational Technology has four new posts to check out:
Tony Wan at EdSurge has a new response to a recent report from MindCet on Kids & Digital Games entitled, "Why Every Game Teaches Useful Skills." The report focuses more on kids's perspectives on gaming, as opposed to the opinions of teachers and parents. The whole report is pretty great if you've got the time to read it and are interested in incorporating game-based learning into your classroom.
The EdReach Network has three new podcasts up:
The Lightning Round...
- Teach Thought covers 26 Upcoming EdTech Conferences for this School Year
- Lisa Nielsen shares 10 Creative Scheduling Ideas to Provie Time for Face-to-Face Collaboration
- EdTech Magazine has a new infographic discussing Student Privacy Concerns
- Getting Smart has a new list of the Latest Tools Added to EdShelf
And that's all we've got for today! We'll close with a new infographic from Getting Smart andSpecial Education Degree on how Ed Tech is being utilized in special education.
In case you missed the news yesterday, we'll be launching our brand new podcast tomorrow night (so there won't be a regular Roundup). Barring any unforeseen technical difficulties (yeah right) we'll be broadcasting live on Google Hangouts from my YouTube channel around 7:30 central. Although for this first episode, it might be better just to tune in on Thursday. We shall see! Thanks for reading!
