“Stop embedding technology into your classes.”
-David Warlick, ESS June 2011
◦ What are some tools that can assist us in helping
our students be true 21st century learners?
◦ How can WE spread the word?
Schools continue to deliver
new graduates into the
workplace lacking the techbased "soft skills" that
businesses demand.
Experts blame K-12's
persistent failure to
integrate technology.
- Dan Gordon
THE Journal (March 2011)
Educators tend to use
technology to do the
same old things in the
same old ways…just
faster.



Teachers have an ever growing “FREE” toolbox
We are preparing students for jobs that do
not yet exist. We must focus on the 21st
century skills of communication,
collaboration, creatively solving problems,
and innovation.
We need to connect with students in their
world, not in ours.

Lets teachers and students share their personal history
using google maps, street view and pictures.
The goal is to be the largest archive of historal images

scenes.

generations.
You are given one word and asked to write for
