The first TTPOD theme show: Is it Take Out or Home Cooked Media?kindle

This episode provides a vast array of ready to use and “digest”

digital media and resources and also tools for brewing your own!

Do you need Kindle or Kindling for that? (sorry)

From the hotter than hot Kindle ver 2 review, to our good pal elmo, the favorite teacher ed tech classroom tool, to $20 laptops, 10 podcasts good to go and use NOW, student produced broadcasts and much more.

Topping off the show is a fabulous conversation about the ASCD blog topic, Curse of the Digitally Illiterate. Not only is it a good topic, but the educational community is demonstrating the power of blogging and producing great insights for us to develop and understand this issue form different perspectives.

Join us we include a Re-Cap of Current  Major Resources and News Items!

      • As a staff developer, I have had to undergo a paradigm shift in my support of teachers. It is not our job as educators to teach students to grow into the world as we know it. To borrow what is turning into a cliche, we really are preparing students for a world that we cannot even imagine. Is it ok to be digitally illiterate? To me that is like asking, is it acceptable for an educator to NOT be a proficient reader and writer. Our answer would be a resounding no. Why? Because reading and writing are cornerstones of a success…as we (digital immigrants) define it. How brazen of us digital immigrants to NOT acknowledge the digital literacy movement and the learning styles of our students. Rather than tiptoe hesitantly around YouTube (which my district blocks) texting, twitter and whatever else is bubbling on the horizon, what would it look like to embrace it as NEW and teach our students to be responsible consumers and stewards of the digital landscape?
