Teaching with technology

Cowan's TECH SAVY ED 305 students have been at it again.... this week they played around with Prezi and Jing and created some really great "teaching with technology" presentations. I must confess that I am quite pleased with the outcome of their hard work - I have, BY FAR, the BEST group of ED 305 students on campus this semester.....

While there were many very well organized and presented presentations, the one that shone the brightest was by Kelsey Turner: http://www.screencast.com/t/U7Citw7dMdi5 

Enjoy!

Flipped Classroom Student Work

Students in ED 307 Teaching Strategies for the Digital Age were asked to create videos explaining the Flipped Classroom approach. While all students in the past have done a great job with this assignment, I found the videos this semester particular enjoyable. I'm so proud to see that these students are embracing 21st century teaching and learning and having fun along the way!

Enjoy these videos - they took a very creative approach:
