Here’s one creative teacher using technology in classrooms

Sometimes I stumble upon really creative ways to use technology in classrooms with kids. Chris Betcher prepared this for an online conference and it goes for about 20 minutes. There’s so much in this presentation that it’s useful to come back to again and again. Chris explains RSS feeds, news searches, hash tags, uses Google forms for surveys [really neat much like I use www.surveymonkey.com] and skype to name a few.

There’s a wealth of sites he uses including:

• http://maps.google.com
• http://technorati.com
• http://www.netvibes.com
• http://runkeeper.com [use of iphone here]
• http://voicethread.com
• http://animoto.com
• http://comiclife.com

This is well worth a look.
