I was on a conference call this evening with some other educators and administrators in the state of Maine. The purpose of the call was to brainstorm ideas for a video about preparing for teaching in a 1:1 computing environment. In advance of the call we were asked to generate a list of things that teachers should know before teaching in a 1:1 environment.

NeoK12 is a great collection of educational videos for science, math, social studies, and language arts. Each category is subdivided by topic. For example under the social studies heading you will find sub-categories of geography, government, industry and several more topics. Most of the videos come from YouTube or Metacafe. You could find these videos yourself on YouTube, but NeoK12 saves you time through their categorization of videos.

What is the Technology Integration Matrix?

The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below.

provides a slide show, step by step approach of taking viewers through Web sites allowing the author to annotate and ask guiding questions for each Web page. The viewers can reply posting their comments and/or ask questions. As a WebQuest designer, I find myself wishing for the opportunity to “be with” my students to ask questions and guide them as they read linked sites from my WebQuests. While I provide scaffolding via questions to be answered they are not so specific to each Web site or its individual pages. Jog the Web provides the further scaffolding opportunity that I am looking for.

The students with stronger research skills and more adept at answering complex questions can skip the steps thus supporting the differentiated nature of my WebQuests. Now by using the Jog the Web designed tracks within my WebQuests, I have a much more precise way to differentiate the multiple pathways students can take in doing their research.

Outside of WebQuests, Jog the Web provides a nice way to create short learning tasks along the lines of Web scavenger hunts. To get a feel for the potential of this tool around a topic we all know so well, check out the 21st Century Skills track created by Elizabeth Holmes.
