Technology Tools for Teaching & Learning

Used wisely, technology empowers students to take responsibility for their own learning. In order to help educators integrate technology effectively, the EdTechTeacher has compiled a list of technology tools focused on learning goals consistent with the powerful framework, Collect-Relate-Create-Donate (CRCD) developed by Ben Shneiderman.
 
Unlike other lists that promote “cool tools,” yet leave teachers wondering about purposeful educational integration, this list is driven by specific learning goals that promote critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration, and community-mindedness. I think you'll find this list useful.
