How can we make our classrooms more engaging, creating "spaces that help students connect, get inspired, and achieve deeper learning and better results." This post provides five simple ideas. Each is followed with short descriptions. Three are listed below: * Try out new teaching techniques, don't just read about them. * Try out technology tools that allow you to work side by side with your students rather than positioned next to the board. * Explore new learning opportunities by accessing a web portal and connecting with another classroom studying the same topic.

"Though educators are finding smart ways to integrate technology and learning, the road has been and continues to be challenging on multiple fronts. The NMC Horizon Report: 2012 K-12 Edition, a collaboration between the New Media Consortium, the Consortium for School Networking, and the International Society for Technology in Education, takes the birds-eye view and encapsulates some of the significant challenges that must still be addressed and offers the following assessment." The first challenge identified is "Digital media literacy continues to rise in importance as a key skill in every discipline and profession, especially teaching." Why? Read on for the details of this challenge and the additional five challenges. Via Beth Dichter

Richard Byrne (of FreeTech4Teachers) has created a new slideshow of his top picks of web tools for 2014. He states "I shared only tools that are new-to-me since last year's NCTIES conference and or have released significant enhancements in the last year." As always it is worth looking through this lengthy slideshow, which is embedded in the post and also available through Google docs so you may choose to save a copy. He notes that he will continue to add speaker notes to include "more links." Some of these tools have been mentioned in this Scoop.it but there are quite a few that are new to me that I will be checking out.

"The online educational video game site iCivics, created in 2009 by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor that features civics curriculum, has partnered with EverFi, an ed-tech company focused on K-12 and higher ed. And through the partnership comes a new initiative Commons – Digital Town Square, offered free to all K-12 schools." According to this post this game will provide an adaptive feature, have "a variety of media including simulations and animations as well as pre and post-assessments and behavioral surveys." It also includes social components, badges and avatars, and they will be meeting some of the Common Core standards.

"When it comes to using technology in school, the tension between what students and parents want and what schools allow is becoming more apparent — and more divisive. Students want more control over how they use technology in school, but many classrooms are still making it difficult. That’s according to the most recent Speak Up 2011 report, “Mapping a Personalized Learning Journey,” which reflects the views of more than 416,000 K-12 students, parents, and educators nationwide surveyed on how technology can enhance the learning environment..."
