By using iPads in the classroom does the class participation improve or does learning improve or is use of any computer system a benefit?

How do you integrate online quizzes to your students? Also, what if there is a problem with students logging on or accessing these quizzes online?

Computer technology is a great tool to incorporate into lesson plans to make learning more engaging and fun. What techniques or ideas would be best to engage a student who is not computer literate or is apprehensive to embrace technology?

From my experience the latest and greatest may not always be appropriate or beneficial as the training points out. I've always found that if you put technology "in the way" of learning it forces students to use it, but only put it there if it will enhance their ability to comprehend the material or will force them to dig deeper into it. By adding things of no value, the students will simply see it as overhead and may not use the technology as intended and it may even distract them from the actual goal of learning the material.

I am an instructor that teaches Vital Signs. One thing I like to do with the students is we exercise when learning the pulse points. Sometimes I may turn on a familiar song and we make a dance out of. They really enjoy it and it also helps them to learn. When it comes time for them to test, I can look across the room and see their heads bobbing to the beat of the song and I just smile.

Which type of test seems to be the most effective -- paper or digitally based and why?

I attempted to access google apps for educators by following the link - they asked for a domain name or to pay for one. What experience have people had with this app. Also, this section didn't mention google voice. I use google voice as a contact number for my students to call or text me. It keeps my personal cell phone number secret but yet allows student to contact me easily. My students typically prefer to text.

How have you used Social Media as an enhancement to learning? What role do you think Social Media has in the formation of community? I recently completed my EdD and did my dissertation on the use of Social Media to enhance community that would lead to adult learning - drawing from the theories that community formation enhances adult learning. I'd love to have more discussion about this.

Can you be exclusive in your blogging or is everyone able to access your blog?

I would like to see more video equipment in rooms to make better use of all the technology to allow students to see what the real world is all about.

I've found that the most effective way to teach is by introducing critical information through the use of a variety of recourse materials and by varying how this information is presented to the class.

I feel that by incorporating a basic "power-point" format utilizing a "white-board" as the screen, I can involve the students by having them actively participate during the presentation. This form of interaction significantly benefits the entire class.

Technology has become so popular in our learning environment today. It sheds a light on learning making it easier to understand.

At our trade vocational school we utilize mixed media formats to enhance our power point lectures to better serve our auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners needs.

I understand the importance of social media in this day and age, but frankly, I find it time consuming to keep it updated, hence efficient as a learning tool. Specially as role model, I do not want to take on a task that I will not be able to manage successfully. But, I greatly admire the one who can. ;)

I have found in my classroom that this type of learning assists with the learning needs of all type of learners. It also allows people to work together as a team.

I never thought of twitter as a teaching/learning tool. I will definitely try it with my next class.

I have used slideshare many times in the classroom. It can be a great teaching tool.

Using technology in the classroom help both the teacher and the students. It encourages interactions and prevent the students from getting bored with listening to the teacher lecturing.

I learned so much about different tool to assist me when incorporating new technology into my teaching. I learned about RSS and Wiki's. I'd heard about them, but was not really sure exactly what they were.
