Wrap-up

• Tech for your benefit (wikis, grades, PD through RSS, tweets, email, Facebook pages etc)
• Tech for teaching (D&P, review, simulation, games)
• Tech for creating (video, audio, web sites, images, glogs, animations, etc)
• Control the tech as much as it controls you!

eWaste - take action on your own and in schools

Education and Mobile Devices

Thanks Laryssa for this:
A friend of mine who teaches adult ed in another city shared this story with me. After a student handed in an assignment that was at a higher level than their usual performance, my friend decided to google the first sentence - and found the source of the student's assignment immediately. When this teacher called out the student for plaigarism, their response was "I did do the work myself - I found the article, I copied and pasted it, and it took me a really long time."
