We all have memories of the great teachers who shaped our childhood. They found ways to make the lightbulb go off in our heads, instilled in us a passion for learning and helped us realize our potential. The very best teachers were creative with the tools at their disposal, whether it was teaching the fundamentals of addition with Cheerios or the properties of carbon dioxide with baking soda and vinegar. As the Internet has developed, so too have the resources available for teachers to educate their students.

Helping Students Create Positive Digital Footprints - ASCD Annual Conference 2012
When asked what words come to mind when they think about students posting to the Internet, many educators list words like danger and safety.
But with the likes of Robert Nay—who created one of the most downloaded iPad apps of 2011 when he was just 14—and even Justin Bieber—who began his international superstardom as a YouTube sensation—as inspiration, students and teachers alike should know the positives that posting to the Internet can offer.

Playing WIth Media: Staff Development
 |
| Playing With Media by Wes Fryer |
Once we had our presenters, we asked each presenter to edit their page on the site. We knew that teachers would want to go to sessions they could not attend, so we wanted to model having resources available after a session or if you couldn't attend a session.
At the end, we gathered together and had a sharing session. We were not very successful getting people to share their work and Wes had some good suggestions for how to rectify that in the future.
- "This was the best technology day that I've experienced since my 8th grade shop class."
- "Great day...Thank you so much for keeping us relevant and cutting edge!"
- "I loved it and I hope we do it every year. I am also glad that I was nudged into being a presenter, something I would never have volunteered to do."
- "Excellent day. We need more time like this. Collaborating and sharing with teachers in this format is outstanding. "
- "This would be great to do at faculty meetings."
- "Much Better than Expected"
- "This was really valuable and has implications for my own teaching and collaborating. "
- "I LOVED the sense of play."

The most significant goal of this presentation is to provide frameworks for schools, teachers and parents to use in developing a Digital Ethics curriculum alongside other elements of technology integration. By layering common data about use on top of current work on brain science, and adolescent media, we'll offer access points for meaningful engagement of complex teen issues in a quickly evolving digital geography. In particular we are presenting ways to link "non-native users" with digital natives through an exploration and application of ethics. We'll use storytelling, data models, and examples of lesson series, which empower students to engage adults knowledgeably, and equitably in the learning curve that characterizes conversations about behavior online and within social media contexts. At our school, we have seen the incidence of online harassment decline well below national norms while students are increasingly utilizing the tools of informed citizenship, caring for each other online, and resolving conflict in sophisticated ways.

Apple has a whole category dedicated to education in the App store. But how do you really know which ones are worth downloading, or possibly even paying for?
TCEA (Texas Computer Education Association) to the rescue! TCEA regularly tests available apps and recommends apps that teachers should be using.
TCEA maintains a list of recommended apps in a shared document via Google Docs. The list is organized by subject area and free apps are color coded in white.- This is a great timesaver for teachers! I plan to share it with all the teachers at my school. - post by Sharon Ellner
