Ask the readers: What was the coolest use of technology in the classroom in 2008?
December 31, 2008
I misspelled a word in the title of the first research paper I ever wrote in school (“The Death Penalty Contraversy”). That’s when my teacher, Mr. Goedken, told me about this magical thing called “spell check” (don’t laugh, this was quite a novel concept for me at the time). As a result, I became a better speller, wound up with an English degree and get to edit this blog.
Sometimes a clever piece of technology can help students learn a difficult concept or shore up a few weaknesses they have. At Instructify, we want to hear what nifty tech toys you’ve used in 2008 to help your students, whether they’re stand-alone programs, web sites, class movie projects, whatever. Tell us about it in the comments. -BILL FERRIS
