Reading through my blog feeds this morning, I came across an article mentioning the “7 Things You Should Know About” series found on the Educause Learning Initiative (ELI) website.
In pdf format you get quick articles explaining emerging technologies or practices: wikipedia, twitter, digital storytelling, YouTube, RSS, etc.
These are great guides for professional development workshops with teachers or to use while teaching students.

Hi all!
For those of you who don't know, and are interested, I will be one of the new Information Technology Specialists at A.C. Flora High School in Richland One. The Media Center is newly rennovated and we (along with wonderful volunteers--thank you ITS from around the district) have unpacked and shelved 400+ boxes of books and equipment this summer.
I also wanted to quickly share with you something that I learned how to do at an ITS workshop yesterday. My family and I spent the evening playing with it. It is called Voki and can be found on voki.com. There you create a character, attach your voice to it by recording through a cheap mic, and you instantly have something fun. How awesome is this! Just think of the possibilities with your students.
