Technology Resources for all
Submitted by Denise Krefting on June 3, 2009 - 12:28am.There are many web based resources for using technology in the classroom all over the web. I have put together a searchable database of web sites that you can use /share and hopefully add to. If you have any other sites that you use that I don't have added, please share them :) Together we can grow as a community.

Mobile Technology in the Classroom
Submitted by Denise Krefting on April 13, 2009 - 8:43pm.After reading the book Toys to tools : connecting student cell phones to education by Liz Kolb, I decided to see what tools are out there for the use of mobile technology in the classroom setting. Using technologies that students come to school with and always have seems like a win-win situation. Here are some of the tools I have found.
•Evernote: The primary use of Evernote is to jot notes, clip web content and capture pictures. http://www.evernote.com/
•Jott: Jott is a voice-to-text-enabled online service that lets you create memos, set reminders and send emails. http://jott.com/
