Do iPads Have the Capacity to Change Education? - iPads in Education
You hear it repeatedly. You can't throw technology into schools without training and support for teachers. If you purchased a truckload of iPads for your school then you better have a plan for developing teachers that are skilled in using them ... but what does it really mean to be "skilled"? If I know all about technical specifications, how to download and synchronize apps, how to configure my iPad - does that make me skilled? What constitutes effective professional development? How do we train teachers to use technologies such as iPads and expect a real change in education?

Education Rethink: Ten Thoughts on Photo Prompts
For the last few years, I've used photo prompts with my students. I've been updating them and adding them to a new Photo Prompts Tumblr. I readily admit that the idea of turning it into a Tumblr is based upon the brilliant writing prompts on the Writing Prompts Tumblr. Here are a few things I've learned about photo prompts:

How to set up a classroom blog: 10 Essential Steps | The official blog of PikiFriends
Running a blog with your students is about as far from a traditional teaching method as you can get, and chances are nobody taught you how to do it. That’s why teachers who blog with students are usually those nonconformists types, radicals, free spirits, taking paths less traveled…well, not so much anymore.

The “Unhyped” New Areas in Internet and Mobile | TechCrunch
We are in a whole new world of platforms, a post-PC era, which I’d more aptly describe as the always/everywhere era, finally, and that means a whole new set of opportunities.

Learning Management Systems: How Much is Too Much? « WizIQ Blog
Attending a liberal arts college as a writing major requires very little technology. We bring to class a pencil and a notebook and that’s the extent of it. Once in a while, the professor may scribble something onto the chalkboard. (And yes, these are actual CHALK boards.) So my involvement in technology is very limited on the educational front.
