A helpful hint from one of our bloggers

Below is a post from that provides suggestions to new teachers beginning to integrate technology into the curriculum :
'Don't be afraid to have students use the technology and learn from their technological projects. For example, develop a lesson plan using Microsoft Frontpage, Powerpoint, or Publisher. Create a rubric that is comfortable for you to implement but add "extra credit" for sound, slide transition or movement, or hyperlinks. Students will be teaching you as well as others who want to add "spice" to their project.'

What are some other hints or suggestions to get teachers started?

I suggest giving students open-ended assignments with general guidelines based on lesson objectives and let them go!

Also, any teachers who can make it to MACUL next week should go - lots of ideas and strategies for integrating technology will be shared.
