Howie DiBlasiEssentials for the "Wired" Teacher
by Jon Orech -
Paul BoyerI decided to avoid the obligatory “What-I-Learned-at-NECC” post, primarily because I did learn so much, and one post would not do justice. Instead, I would like to share my thoughts on a conversation I had with a colleague I met via twitter. He asked me: “With all of these Web 2.0 tools, and everything else out there, what does a teacher absolutely need to be “wired.” Great question. So I decided to put together a list of absolute essentials for today’s teachers.

Tod BakerMaster Google: OK, we all use it, but make sure you know how to search like a pro. Here are a few ideas that will really help: 1. Make a custom RSS feed. First, search a topic, click “news” then “sort by date” then click “RSS” on the bottom left. Copy and paste the new url in your RSS aggregator (like Google Reader). 2. Limit searches by domain or geographical origin. After your search terms, type “site:” search followed by either domains (“org” or “edu”) to search for only those sites OR use a country’s two-letter code to return news items only from that country. 3. Use the “options” feature after a search. This will give you access to valuable applications such as the “Wonder wheel” or “Timeline.” Try it! These are just a couple of the many hidden search features that Google offers.
