Search vs. Research: From the article by Marc Prensky called Search Vs. Research I learned that searching is a general search such as google and research is when we cite what we use, we only look for certain articles that are "scholarly" or at least trustworthy enough to be held up by experts or other scholarly articles.
In the Article Phone a Friend by Anna Patty there is some interesting information about using cell phones for tests. Dierdre Coleman a Teacher for an all girls school is trying this concept out in other to prepare her student's for the real world. Using technology on a test shows them the real world need of accessing information quickly, being able to cite it and most importantly, find it if they don't know about it.
After checking out Liz Kolb's blog I was super exciting to start looking at programs where I could send out notifications and course reminders. What a great idea! And for free! Also, a great idea. Putting up study questions, polls etc. So much fun!
From the last two, I think I would use a cell phone for polls or for answering questions correctly the first time and maybe even research but I don't think I'm ready to have students look up math answers to their exams just yet :).
I LOVE algebra meltdown on spree learning. SO AWESOME. it's not great for high schoolers but everyone (including me) can always use a good review tool like this. :)
That's all! See you in a bit making an iMovie!
