As a teacher interested in technology I have been interested in how teachers use technology in the classroom in order to make learning more fun and relevant to the tech-savvy kids they teach. Indeed, it is ironic that kids can often teach teachers a thing or two about technology, and teachers are already so bogged down with work that they simply can’t find time to teach themselves how to use the technology they should be teaching. But some teachers are beginning to take the bull by the horns and teach teachers how to use and teach technology.
Danny Maas is the visionary behind TILT (Teachers Improving Learning with Technology), a site created for teachers by teachers that focuses on using technology in the classroom to enhance learning. So far this site has covered such topics as using digital pictures in the classroom, using the internet to enhance writing, educational robotics, and my favorite, student-created science lab video reports. He has also included links on his main page that walks teachers through the basics of vlogging, including info on RSS feeds and how to watch videoblogs in iTunes.
Check out this site and tell all of your teacher friends about it…after all, they should be the media, too!
