Integrating technology in the classroom
Last Thursday I joined Dean Mantz and the wonderful ladies at Livebinders for an interview/webinar about creatively thinking, digital natives/immigrants, and education. I also talk about my start in education and introduction into technology. If you missed the live webinar, you can check out the video archive below.
Thank you all who came to support and encourage me!
Mark your calendars for a FREE web event this Thursday, January 13 (2011). Click here to find out when it will be live in your timezone. I will be joining the ladies at Livebinders and Dean Mantz for a conversation about Creative Thinking. The discussion will be focusing on Blooms to inspire critical thinking and collaboration creatively using a variety of web tools. I will provide some insight to her methods of evaluating sites and tools before I recommend them on iLearn Technology. It is sure to be a fun time!

I created this Digital Bloom’s Taxonomy Livebinder for the web event, start perusing it now and bring your questions to the live event. This Livebinder has a variety of my favorite websites and webtools organized by Bloom’s Taxonomy.
What it is: Rebus puzzles (also known as word puzzles or frame puzzles) is a NIEHS kids site that hosts a collection of Rebus brain teasers. The brain teasers each have a drop down menu that reveals the answer to the puzzle. These puzzles are a fun way to get students thinking creatively and ‘outside the box’.
How to integrate Rebus Puzzles into the classroom: Start your day off with a little brain bending using these Rebus puzzles. Print out the puzzle or share on a projector at the beginning of the day. Give students 2-5 min to solve the brain puzzle of the day. This is a great way to get those creative muscles a work out and jump start the brain for a day of learning.
Tips: There is more than one page of puzzles so keep exploring!
