Digital Tools: Thinking FirstHow can technology be used to help students to
engage with content, create, and collaborate at EVERY curriculum level?
I get beyond the bells and whistles by questioning:
What learning goals underpin our use of technology in the classroom?
Not all Web 2.0 tools are the same. Some have wonderfully intuitive systems, and others are messy. Some have clear and engaging help videos and others require that you look elsewhere for set-up notes. Most are free for educators so you can pick and choose!

Rebecca Swain ACEC 2010Students as Readers
How you can use technology to encourage, generate thinking and discussion: AV clips @ YouTube, ASO or TED; Podcasts (eg Lingua Franca or other
Radio National etc); Word clouds @ Wordle;
How students can use technology to show you what they know (let them publish it...): Make it visual @ Freemind or Bubble.us; Symbols and visual interpretations @ Animoto

understanding: Discussion Boards @ Google Groups; Blogging Projects @ Wordpress; Web Navigation @ Delicious; Online folios @ Wikispaces; Social Networks @ Ning;

Rebecca Swain ACEC 2010A Focus on Planning
For every task I introduce to the classroom, I consider the following:
What am I trying to achieve? Engagement, collaboration, independent achievement,
creativity, a deeper understanding or something else?
What tools might I use? What do I already know that can help me get there? What have I seen or heard about that might provide the
solution? What do my students use in their own time? Will I use technology or not?
How will I use them? Will this be an in-class or at-home task (or both)? Will it be collaborative or individual?
