Thanks for tuning in! And if you missed our inaugural podcast last night, it's up and ready for viewing! We'll have the audio and video cleaned up a little better for next week too, this South American internet tends to get a little laggy at times... Today begins at Mind/Shift with an article entitled, "Can Tech Help Students Find the 'Sweet Spot' for Learning?" It's an excellent post on the current state of classroom tech.
Next up, Uptime Systems has an great post about "Staying Secure in the Cloud Age." The article discusses the importance of knowing the details of your online storage provider. Just because a site looks legitimate, does not necessarily mean it's a great place to store and backup all your personal data. The post goes through a list of considerations to take into mind when storing data online.
Free Tech for Teachers has five new resources to check out:
Jamie Forshey at EduTech for Teachers has a great write-up of a wonderful program, "See the Edu-Good with 365 Photo Project." In a nutshell, the EduGood 365 Photo Project invites teachers and students to "spend a year photographing and sharing all of the positive happenings in their schools, classroom and/or life." The pictures are then shared with other students and teachers in the program. Pretty great idea.
Educational Technology has five new resources up today:
Emerging Ed Tech has a new review of "Chronicle - A Transformative Multi-Media Assessment Tool for Teachers." The app is used to provide teachers with an easy way to "quickly capture and share student progress via text, photo, audio and video." It's an awesome app for keeping all stakeholders informed with student development and growth.
