Guest Bloggers Wanted! Topic: In what creative ways are your using Technology in your Classroom?

It's no surprise that we all have great wonderful activities and classic pen and paper projects that we love to share with fellow teachers, on our blogs, and through our TpT stores. But in today's world, technology is in the hands our kids from a very young age. We have 2nd graders that can use an iPhone better than their parents, 5th graders writing APPs for sale, and teens recording then selling their songs without a recording company signing them.

As a technology integration coordinator, I spend about half of my week working with teachers and how they integrate technology into their existing curriculum. On Friday, one of my HS PE teachers blew my away with her impressive use of tech in the 9th grade fitness class. She has the using SmartPhones, iPads, Laptops, and music to create fitness video about how they are "active" in life and class. The kids were completely engaged, collaborating and supporting each other, sharing ideas and tech skills, and the PE Coach was able to circulate around the class monitoring and answering questions about fitness. In a few months she shared with me that when they hit the track they will be borrowing the science department's motion and speed probes to integrate the tech and math into their running unit.

This impressive use of technology in what many would consider "a skate by class" of high school PE, got me thinking... how are YOUR STUDENTS using technology in creative ways - projects? cross curriculum? presentations? So I am looking for YOU and your Tech Users to share a project or activity that connected technology and your students to their curriculum!  If you are interested in being a Guest Blogger, please visit our Guest Blogger Page, review the guidelines, and email us with details of your ideas.
