Learning Webtools for Lessons in the Classroom

Most educators today are aware that we are teaching a new breed of student known as a 21st century learner.  Our students today have been learning technology at the same time they learn how to walk and talk.  The idea of technology has become ingrained as a part of their lives and therefore it is something that has followed them as they entered their education.  Thus, teachers are feeling more pressure than ever to embed technology into their daily lessons.  This has spiraled into teachers trying to make technology fit everywhere possible rather than taking our lessons and finding ways to enhance them by using technology.

This blog will give educators a chance to learn how to use various web-tools so they can enhance their lessons.  Once a week I will blog about a new web-tool, how to use it and give an example of how I, or a colleague, have used it in the classroom.

I am looking forward to sharing what I have learned about the different web-tools out there and inspiring others to try using them in their classrooms.
