UMBC ISD Now Forum with Richard Byrne: "Discovery, Discussion and Demonstration"
This session provides a framework for technology integration in schools. While participants will learn about a number of free tools, the focus is really on the purposes of using technology in learning environments.
Discovery - In this section we'll explore some advanced Google search options. We'll also take a look at some search tools not named Google.
Discussion - In this section we'll look at using blogs, wikis, and private-label message board systems (like Ning) for sharing our discoveries.
Demonstration - In this section we'll look at tools for creating multimedia ebooks, videos, and podcasts. We'll then look at platforms for sharing those products with a wider audience and the benefits of sharing.
