This is video is a couple of years old now, but it really speaks to our changing world. How are we preparing our children for these changes? What else can we be doing? What are the obstacles? There are many discussions to be had around this one. Enjoy!

Regents Review 2.0
This may not be new to all of you, but it seems to definitely be worth checking out. It's a regents review website with playlists of instructional youtube videos embedded throughout it. There are PowerPoint presentations and other resources for you to use as well.
For those of you who have some sort of web presence or are working on establishing one and teach a regents course, this should prove to be a valuable resource. Instead of just linking to the main page, consider embedding the videos you find most important on your pages. Use Slideshare to embed the PowerPoints and other documents. Use the format for the way some of the videos were shot to create your own instructional videos for your students that can be embedded on your website. Combine those things along with Quizlet flashcards and a few of the other tools we've shown and you can really springboard your tech game as you better prepare your students.
We're here to help, so if some (or all) of this sounds a bit overwhelming stop up and talk to us or shoot us an email.

21st Century Teachers
Remember when I posted the video of 21st Century learners? If not, you may want to look back and check it out. It's pretty interesting. This is one of many spin-offs and although it may not be as slick as the other one, I think you will enjoy watching it. If some of this looks or sounds unfamiliar to you, feel free to check in with your friendly coaches :)

A Vision of Students
Here's another video/discussion piece. What would be said if we replicated the Googledoc piece?

February Instructional Tech Newsletter
Sandy Paben is a tremendous resource for teachers and students and we are very fortunate that she continues to publish the following newsletter. You may have received it in your email last week but I wanted to give you another opportunity to check it out. Also, take notice of how slideshare (from last week) was used to make it view-able right here.

Glogster- Poster Yourself
Think digital posters. That's what we're talking about here. Virtual posters that students can customize with text, images, and videos. Below is a short video about Glogster followed by a sample "glog". I apologize in advance if the glog displays outside of the main column. I felt it was important to share it despite that. Feel free to leave a comment or stop up to the mountain to talk with us about it.
