		<title>Are IWBs Worth It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether it&#8217;s a SMART, Prometheum, 3M, or any other, is an interactive white board (IWB) worth the great expense to your school?
No.
Oh I wish it was that simple.  I am going to preface this article by divulging that I have a SMART Symposium in my classroom.  I also currently teach in a lab with a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techteachengage.wordpress.com&blog=2795505&post=47&subd=techteachengage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Google Apps for Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you aren&#8217;t aware, Google offers schools free access to its Google Apps Suite.  This means your students could have access to Google Mail, Calendar, Chat, and Sites.  Well, they always could, but now it could be part of a domain you control.  For example, if you manage a domain for your school called [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techteachengage.wordpress.com&blog=2795505&post=43&subd=techteachengage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Reducing Student Stress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No two ways about it, students are stressed.  Students experience stress for different reasons, and they handle that stress in different ways.  Your highly academic students may be stressed as they are desperate for an A, or for the highest grade in the class.  Your struggling students may be stressed as they try just to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techteachengage.wordpress.com&blog=2795505&post=40&subd=techteachengage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Silence of Thought</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the 2008 ECOO Conference I had the pleasure of attending a performance by Talyor Mali.  Taylor is a teacher and poetry slam artist.  He had some inspiring and hilarious spoken word poems to share.  His spoken word performance means that his poems were written to be heard as a performance rather than be read [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techteachengage.wordpress.com&blog=2795505&post=33&subd=techteachengage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Teacher Tools, So What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will later be posting a slightly edited version of a presentation I gave at the 2008 ECOO conference.  The topic was on Journalism and New Media for students.  Throughout I referred to podcasts, blogs, wikis, etc.  And while these tools can be great, we must remember one of the newer catch phrases uttered in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techteachengage.wordpress.com&blog=2795505&post=31&subd=techteachengage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Importance of Blogs to Students</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many teachers of an older generation are not really familiar with blogs.  I think it is important not only for teachers to be familiar with blogs, but also to understand what their significance is in the lives of their students.  Now, not all your students will be reading blogs regulary, they will probably fall into [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techteachengage.wordpress.com&blog=2795505&post=24&subd=techteachengage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Podcasting Events by Students</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looking for a way to engage your students in a podcasting activity?  Try making them journalists.  Better yet, make them journalists without the confines of time and space.  Let&#8217; face it, it would be great to have your students podcast on a current event.  Let&#8217;s say on an upcoming election for your Politics class.  But [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techteachengage.wordpress.com&blog=2795505&post=9&subd=techteachengage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>All the Web 2.0 You Need</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Web 2.0&#8243; might be one of the most over used terms of the last few years.  It is right up there with blogoshere, netiquette, and vlog as some of the words most likely to make the hair stand up on the back of my neck.  But like it or not Web 2.0 refers to websites [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techteachengage.wordpress.com&blog=2795505&post=8&subd=techteachengage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
