Tools Available

As the building of K12 Instructional Technology Content Management System continues, it is exciting to see the number and level of value of the tools that exists for teachers to use in their classrooms. While I want to get tools out there for teachers, it is important that they see examples of how to use them to improve student learning. Technology for technology sake is short lived at best and a potential waste of time and money at worst. My next steps will be to develop lessons that incorporate tools found on the Internet as well as those within Moodle--which easily translates to other learning management systems. I want to build a picture of what integration looks like...when asked the question of "why do that" the answer should be to reinforce previous learning, to add to current knowledge or to create new knowledge...that will be the goal.
