10 Internet Technologies Educators Should Be Informed About – 2011 Update | Emerging Education Technology | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

Below you will find updated information for 5 of the technologies from the original posting, and 5 new technologies that have earned their rightful place in the list (displacing 5 other types of tech, that while still worthy, are not quite as relevant today, IMHO). This is not intended to be a definitive listing, but rather an informed resource that provides insights and raises awareness. Lots of links to example apps and articles have been provided, so readers can learn more about each application category.

Educreations is a new iPad app that turns your iPad into a whiteboard. You can use the app to illustrate concepts and narrate what you're doing on the screen. You can draw images from scratch on the Educreations iPad app or you can upload images and draw on them. Your completed lesson can be shared directly to others or made public on the Educreations website.

Just in case you haven't heard about this already. -JL

 

All schools can now use the YouTube educational video site, youtube.com/education, without having to jump over Internet filtering hurdles.

 

For schools that choose to opt in to the YouTube for Schools Program, YouTube will redirect Web users who go to the site straight over to youtube.com/education. On this portion of the site, all comments are disabled and the only related videos are those that can be found in the Education portal of the site.

 

The option has been created for parents, teachers, and administrators who fear children will be exposed to inappropriate materials on the site.

The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keyword or topic in a Tweet.

 

Any Twitter user can categorize or follow topics with hashtags.Those hashtags (usually) mean something and are a great way to get a tweet to appear in search results or discussion monitoring.
