At some point in the last year podcasts have become a part of my daily life. I listen to most of them as I am getting ready for work in the morning and as I’m driving to work. I don’t remember why I started, but I have been using them to help me learn and grow professionally. Educational technology and other general education podcasts have been my main focus. ...

Is your desktop covered in files and shortcuts, so much so you can barely see your wallpaper? Do you have so many internet tabs open you can’t see which one is which? Do you have too many bookmarks to keep track? I am going to share some tips for organizing these areas that I use that might help you. Before I start, I forgot one important thing in my blog post on August 22, 2022: “Things to Remember About Educational Technology.” Jake Miller said it in a way that I have not been able to forget in his Educational Duct Tape podcast on May 5, 2021....

I was listening to “The EdTech Podcast,” episode 238, Digital Strategy for Schools with Sophie Bailey and Al Kingsley. (Side note, I found my next read… Al Kingsley’s book “My Secret EdTech Diary.”) During their conversation they were talking about a part of the book which was about the skills students need after they leave school. “What are the key skills that children are going to need in the workplace?......

What is digital citizenship? In the simplest of terms, digital citizenship is everything to do with technology and how it is used. Students are good digital citizens when they balance their technology use with non-technology activities and are safe and kind when using technology. Common Sense Media breaks digital citizenship down into six categories: Media Balance, Digital Footprint, Online Privacy, Communication, Cyberbullying, and News and Media Literacy....

Here are a few tips to remember when trying to integrate technology into your classroom. You don’t have to use technology with every lesson, you don’t have to use it all day, every day. Use it when it enhances your student’s learning. You don’t need to use every educational technology tool out there! "You don't need to do them all....

Once you are comfortable with adding technology into your lessons, it is time to start thinking about your level of integration. The SAMR model, created in 2010 by Dr. Ruben R. Puentedura, helps us understand our use of technology in the classroom. There are four different levels in this model Substitution and Augmentation are considered an enhancement level. At this level we have integrated technology into our lessons, but it hasn’t significantly changed what we did previously....

Regardless of who you talk to about educational technology they will always tell you, “It isn’t about the technology, it is about the lesson.” Educational technology should enhance a lesson, not be the lesson. The only time the technology is the lesson, is when your primary teaching point is educational technology. What does all this mean? It means create your lesson based on the standard(s), like you normally would. ...

Last time I talked about the why, this time I am going to talk about the how. Before I start I want to expand a little on the why. If our youngest learners learn the vocabulary and basics of technology use, the next teacher doesn’t have to start from the beginning. PreKindergarten and Kindergarten is the beginning of most student’s school experience....

Why not use technology with the youngest learners?!  I know many children these days are getting way too much screen time.  Even the Minnesota legislators think students are getting too m…
