Schools and districts are joining the 21st Century through the use of technology. There are a wide range of sites that schools are offering for thier communities. There are a wide range of services that can be avilable to parents including access to homework, grades, school information, and school paperwork. School websites can also be a gateway to new learning. The possibilities are endless!
The virtual tours are awesome! They allow interested parties to get a lot of information about the school or the community at the click of a button. I am in the process of creating a virtual tour of our district that will be an ongoing project.
Global commuity projects offer students and teachers a way to get hands on experience solving a problem or developing a theory with real data from other places. The Center for Innovation in Engineering and Science gave students access to other students from as far as Transylvania! Students are using technology to facilitate service learning projects and making a differnece in thier communities while they are learning for school.
This set of articles was very interesting and opened my eyes to wome additional ways that students can use technology as a tool for learning.
