Internet4Classrooms.com...Rediscovered for ALL Grades and Subjects

When I first started at the middle school, I discovered the website, Internet4Classroom,  as a resource for technology tutorials.  I recently rediscovered this website is loaded with information, projects, and lesson activities that are easily found by grade, subject or even common core standard.  The activities given in Internet 4 Classrooms are especially designed to enhance curriculum.  It brings together so many resources to be viewed in one place and groups them the way it makes most sense for teachers.

Take a look for activities that can enhance your next lesson by starting with your grade, subject or standard and see what you can find?

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teacher Who Use Technology

7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teachers Who Use Technology

Re-post from TeachThought Staff (Original Blog entry) 5/11/13

In most ways, teachers that use technology in the classroom aren't much different than those that don’t.

Any teacher worth their salt assesses, and then revises planned instruction based on data from those assessments.  

They manage their classroom in a way that works for them, create a positive learning environment, and (great teachers especially) collaborate with a variety of stakeholders to make sure every humanly possible attempt is made to meet all students need.

But using technology in the classroom–and using it effectively–might require some slight adjustments on the part of the teacher to sustain the effort, creative problem-solving, and innovation required to actually improve learning through the use of technology. (And great administrators, too.)

In this context, Always Prepped recently released the following infographic that clarifies some of the habits highly-effective users of technology might possess. (We especially like 1, 3, and 4.)
