Articles and Excerpts...

Their are unending resources to use in the classroom! Cell phones, Youtube, even Facebook, are all finding meaningful and purposeful uses within the classroom. Youtube video, for example, is an excellent way to give students an exciting preview to a lesson or as an interesting review on what has been taught. Three videos I have used in lessons are at the bottom of this page just give them a click! Below I have also included some articles and book excerpts that I have found very interesting as I have advanced my use of technology in the classroom. I found all these articles on-line which is yet another way I have found the technological world to be benefitial to me.
