Vision of a 21st Century Teacher []

Carol found this article on whiteboards that may be of interest, Whiteboards' Impact on Teaching Seen as Uneven. It can be accessed at http://www.edweek.org/dd/articles/2010/01/08/02whiteboards.h03.html?intc=es. Hopefully this one will be available for a while!

I came across this article,"Teaching with Laptops," in the December issue of //The Science Teacher.// I thought it was pertinent to the ARRA work. Particularly if you are thinking about how to integrate online simulations or other online interactives with hands-on experiences. There is also some interesting ideas for using technology for formative assessment. It may also be useful as a conversation starter about using technology in a unit as opposed to a single lesson. If you are interested in reading the article, you can access it at http://www.nsta.org/highschool/?lid=hp. Click on the title "teaching with Laptops" after ** FREE **.

What do you think? Useful information or not? How might you use this with your team?
