I decided to expand on that Professional Development by creating a "Tools for the 21st Century Teacher" Handbook. The idea was to provide a handbook that administrators could provide to new teachers in their building, teachers who are interested in integrating technology, and teachers who need a little extra guidance of the types of tools that are available to them and are scared to start integrating technology in their classroom.
The document includes what I consider to be the top 15 tools, or the tools that I find myself using most often and suggesting other teachers use most often. I know that there are others that could be included in this list (Digital Story Telling, Image Websites, Video Websites, etc), but I felt that if I started to add too many the handbook would lose its purpose/focus.
I hope that you find this handbook useful. Please feel free to share with staff, administrators, teachers, parents, and students even. Especially share with former students that you know of that are entering the education field. We need to get them started early. You can find "Tools for the 21st Century Teacher" at Issuu as well as see it embedded below. I have also added a new Publications page where I will publish any handbooks I create in the future.
