"The key to successful technology integration is the efficient use of digital tools tools that are appropriate for the task. Technology provides us all with the ability to develop our own toolkit of flexible resources for use when needed. Here is a toolkit I assembled that is filled with tools I frequently use for designing flexible student-driven learning experiences. Starting with a good toolkit is essential.

Jim Lerman's insight:

Oxenvad has curated wonderful collections of resources and presented them in highly creative ways. Educators are well advised to check her work frequently.

Antonia Rudenstine's curator insight, August 11, 2013 8:33 AM

Susan Oxnevad has a really nice blog for teachers looking for speedy and smooth ways to integrate tech tools into their practice. She is both knowledgeable about the various web 2.0 tools that are freely available, AND thoughtful about providing strategies for their integration. Her work is very influenced by UDL, which I find powrful in this age when so much online curriuclum is essentially digital worksheet completion.

"What are our kids doing now that they couldn't do before?" We think that this is really the main focus that we should attach to technology and what we need to implement in our schools.
