INVOLVE students with TECHNOLOGY!

The sites below were introduced in the breakout session by the keynote speakers. I am systematically working my way through the list to develop ways to use each in my classroom for higher level thinking/learning. I have already used Google Earth, Skype, Wordle and Wiffiti Some are blocked at school by NEOnet. Ironically NEOnet was the organizer of the NEOtech Conference who hired the keynote speakers. You can see more about these at Mike & Garth's blog.

Wiffiti.com in the Marketing Classroom

Today my Marketing students were required to find the Marketing Functions, text one of the functions to the Wiffiti on my blog to create a moving word cloud on that topic. Tomorrow they will learn to create their own and discuss the marketing business application.

Marketing Functions

What are the Functions of Marketing?
Just learning and practicing with Wiffiti. The one below was created by "The Innovative Educator", not by me. I just copied and pasted the embed code to my blog to see if it works. Next I will create my own to use with students.

Attended the NeoTech Conference in Akron, Ohio last Friday. It is so enjoyable to get together with over 400 technology teachers from NE Ohio to share ideas. I always come away feeling so excited to take my technology students to the next level! Thank you to NEOnet for sponsoring this event.
