What are the best technology tools available for teaching and learning?
How do we use them to enhance student learning and achievement without diminishing what we hold as most valuable in a Lawrenceville education?
This is the blog site for the technology committee at the Lawrenceville School. We hope to use this site as a place for discussion about the role of technology in a Lawrenceville education, bringing in the voices of teachers, students, parents, alumni, and the world at large. We will also maintain a collection of related resources here.
The AASL's "Best Websites for Teaching and Learning" is a great resource in accordance with [the AASL's] Standards for the 21st Century Learner, compiled annually by leaders in the education and information technology fields: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/bestlist/bestwebsites.cfm

Thanks Marc! Prezi is pretty neat. Here's a prezi that our PLP (Powerful Learning Practice) team did describing Harkness 2.0: http://prezi.com/y2cmnx4p1h2q/what-is-harkness-20-teaching/
ReplyDeleteBy the way, there are some great examples of Prezi's in education at their new site: http://edu.prezi.com/
