Participate 2.1.1 Collecting Reputable Digital Resources

Hi y'all!  I am eager to invite you to take a walk with me around the internet as we explore relevant Ed Tech tools.  In my quest to integrate more technology into my classroom, I have curated a collection of ED Tech resources and am looking forward to this opportunity to share a few of them with you!  So put on your walking shoes and pedometer... On your mark, get set... go!

In the presentation below, I have outlined my top 3 technology resources for helping the virtual teacher become more engaging, efficient, and effective.  I've also included links at the end of the presentation of two compilations of Ed Tech resources that I created for previous speaking engagements.  It is my hope that you find something useful in your own classroom!

A side-note on safety:
As I've been scouring the internet for Ed Tech Resources, I've run across a few websites that were questionable.  It raises the point that students also experience this issue as they use the Web 2.0 for both school and personal use.  I believe that one of the best ways to teach students digital safety is to raise awareness of how to discern a site's reputability.

As tech savvy as our 21st century students are, they are naive to the dangers of the internet and novice at applying strategies for academic research.  As a teacher, whether in a virtual or brick-and-mortal classroom, one of our newest tasks is teaching students how to responsibly and safely navigate the Web 2.0.  Below is a graphic that I created to help raise awareness of the top, must-know internet domains.  Please feel free to use it in your own classrooms!
