http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech215.shtml An article giving stats and percentages on the average ages young children use technology! This article also includes multiple websites that are great for toddler use such as a story time website, beginning reading websites, and even literacy websites. This would be a great website to give out to parents of children in a daycare to get an early start!

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:21:00 -0700 Article about technology solution for children with special needs http://kimberlybarrett.posterous.com/article-about-technology-solution-for-childre http://kimberlybarrett.posterous.com/article-about-technology-solution-for-childre

http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech224.shtml There is a new tool out called Dragon Naturally Speaking, and it is a software that enables students to command and dictate verbally.Since many students in a special needs classroom cannot use a keyboard, this is an effective software tool to use.

Sat, 07 Apr 2012 14:10:00 -0700 PBS Teachers! http://kimberlybarrett.posterous.com/pbs-teachers http://kimberlybarrett.posterous.com/pbs-teachers

http://www.pbs.org/teachers/  Broken up by grade level, multiple sources and ideas are listed for teachers to engage students across all curriculum! I think this would be something awesome to implement in every classroom, and every teacher should become aware of the positives that can come out of using a website such as PBS Teachers.

Sat, 07 Apr 2012 14:08:00 -0700 "Ask" for Kids! http://kimberlybarrett.posterous.com/ask-for-kids http://kimberlybarrett.posterous.com/ask-for-kids

http://www.askkids.com This website serves as a google tool, but for K-12 grades! It is more of narrow search, and answers are geared toward this age group. This is a great tool to give out to students when it comes to homework time, or for any questions that come up!

http://sciencespot.net/Pages/kdztech.html This website includes computer basics, keyboarding basics, interent safety, etc. A great tool for students of all ages to use! Many students have a difficult time with learning how to type correctly on a keyboard, and I will want to implement class time towards practicing typing.

http://www.guide2digitallearning.com/blog_brad_flickinger/educational_technology_bill_rights_students

Rule number eight: " I have the right to be accessed with technology. I love the instant feedback of testing done technology. I live in a world of instant feedback, so to find out a couple of week later that I didn’t understand your lesson, drive me crazy. If you were a video game, no one would play you -- feedback is too slow."

Interesting opinions!

A teacher at a community college noticed that students know more when the teacher talks less. The discovery of e-books and how successful they have been! This would be a good experiment to test in the classroom, especially if the success rate increases. :) www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech214.shtml
