I tweaked it just this week to present to a group of elementary (K-5) teachers. I''m not a lawyer or legal expert, but based on my observations over the past few years, here''s my suggestions for teachers, particularly K-12 (but higher ed isn''t exempt) who want to

Unfortunately, despite searching, I can''t find the original link and therefore can''t give credit to the creator! You may download the template from my wiki.

'Oh, Wow! This video does a nice job of showing how a student with 21st century learning tools at his fingertips can construct and become a participant in an authentic learning experience.

'This is an old classic with a 21st century twist. Once again I am using the PowerPoint template created by Mark E. Damon. I''ve modified it slightly by using it in conjunction with my eInstruction CPS clicker system. You can have each student participate individually or group them into teams. Today I split my classes up into groups of 3-4 students and gave each group a clicker.

'St. Mark''s Academy is a brand new Christian middle and high school located on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The opening of a new middle and high school is not very notable except that St. Mark''s claims to be the very first of its kind. St. Mark''s offers a 100% online, fully accredited, middle and high school curriculum. I have been blogging about the pending change in education for some time now.
