Something to think about... from Blogs & Beyond: Teaching with Technology and Curiosity

  • What challenges and/or failures have you faced while teaching with technology?
  • Have you utilized technology to encourage critical thinking?
  • How have your experiences with technology changed your pedagogical methods, expectations, or results? Not just "digital facelift" - merely taking what you do & doing it online?
  • How do you find new tools and evaluate them?
