Integrating Technology in the Classroom, Teaching Today, Glencoe Online Integrating Technology in the Classroom What do you need? The use of technology, the Web in particular, has become an important skill for both students and teachers to master. Creating a successful class Web site demands more than just technical skills. Search engines help you find what you need on the Web, but various engines perform searches in different ways. You want to cover the required content standards and utilize technology, but there just doesn’t seem to be enough time. There are many things to think about when planning for an Internet-based curriculum. Educators are always looking for new and innovative ways to integrate the Internet into classroom activities. Using the Internet to improve learning can be a difficult task for even the most Web savvy teachers.

Third Grade Splash Math Practice Program per iPhone, iPod touch e iPad dall'App Store su iTunes Google Hangouts as Edtech: Connecting, Sharing and Learning Since I started in education, I have been trying to find ways to connect students' learning beyond the classroom walls. Initially, the task presented many hurdles. Infrastructure was limited, devices were bulky and slow, and the access was not quite available. In order to connect students with the outside world, a permission slip and a school bus were needed. Today, many of those hurdles have been overcome, and connecting students beyond the classroom is a viable option. Hangouts, the social media feature of the Google+ platform, are online spaces offering teachers and students a great forum to connect with one or many participants and engage in a real-time dialogue. Reasons to Hang Out One of many reasons I like Google Hangouts is for the ability to broadcast a talk live and then archive that broadcast. Possibilities and Opportunities I see many opportunities for students and teachers using Google Hangouts in the classroom.
