Tony Hall's insight:

You've more than likely seen this already, but I think it is worth sharing. I love technology. I love using it in the classroom. But it is just a tool - a crap teacher with a laptop is still a crap teacher. I firmly believe that there is room for the traditional as well as the innovative. Enjoy:)

Seth Dixon's curator insight, March 31, 2013 8:59 PM

So many of the educational discussions these days are touting the newest technologies (many of which I embrace). Too many though, I fear, are willing to abandon tried and true "old school" pedagogical strategies in an attempt to incorporate the latest and greatest. Just because it's new doesn't inherently make it better. This video is a comical reminder that some old technologies and old strategies are worth keeping. Let's keep some paper in the educational system.

Tony Hall's insight:

This is seriously cool! Developed by Tim Holman, along with a bunch of other really cool things, Texter lets you create images with words. In lots of different colours:) My first thought was to use Texter when I give my learners new vocabulary at the start of a unit. After they have developed understanding of the new vocab I want to challenge them to creat an image using the words to illustrate the meaning of the words. Any thought?

This site allows you to 'paint' with words. Simply type in the text (a single word or a longer passage) then choose a text size and colour. Click on the main screen, move your mouse and the words will be 'painted'.

You can save your work too.

I think are some very useful apps here for teachers who are actively using ICT in the classroom.
