Here are a few ideas to get you started: 1. Create a class wiki to share resources and student work. Start with a simple layout and structure and expand it throughout the year as you learn more tools. 2. Design a lesson that uses Animoto, Photostory or Toon Doo to have students create a digital story or comic strip about a topic you are covering. This allows for creative expression and assessment of understanding. 3. Plan a lesson where students can choose to create a website, poster, brochure or other option to showcase what they learned. Provide examples of strong work and allow students to select the format based on their interests and skills. Offering technology-based choices engages more students.

4. We are "moving from the Information Age
to the Conceptual Age."
Schools must prepare students for a different
workplace--one that values
innovation, imagination, creativity,
communication, and emotional
intelligence.
~ Daniel Pink, A Whole New Mind 2005

demand…
"Engage me or enrage
me."
