I love the 20 TED talks for high school students. I have a degree in elementary education, but have been subbing in HS. This link provides a great thing to show some of the classes I sub in. Especially since at the end of each hour the students tend to try and stop doing their work before they normally would.
I also checked out the link for top 10 technologies used in classrooms today. I can’t say that I am surprised by any of them at all. They all are very common in many of the classrooms I have worked in. Now to get all the teachers trained and using them!
I enjoyed several of the links posted. Thanks and keep up the great work!
I am a strong believer that technology not only makes the learning process much more fun, but it also creates allows a more hands-on experience for kids! If you are interested in other educational products for kids, I would check out our educational apps!
