There is amazing technology available today that can significantly enhance the learning environment. I had not seen the clicker instant response before, and I think it would be a great way to get instant feedback from your class. It would be also be a quick way to gauge how much students know about a subject so you don't have to use up time for superfluous review.
I didn't know how quickly my daughter would be drawn to my twitter account and blog - I have instant clout in her eyes now that I am "online" (apparently, email didn't count, or at least as much). I anticipate using my blog to post good science websites, possibly for Science Olympiad students to use.
I'm trying to figure out why I can't open .pdf's from my home computer; I can see the small version with my cursor over the link, but when I try to open it, it looks like it's working but nothing comes up.
I want to learn more about tools to engage the students, and how do we teachers give them access to computers in the classroom without giving them access to facebook, etc. Perhaps this is really a question for college-level educators, not secondary?
