What tech tools detract and what tools promote really learning? A must read for teachers. Author/speaker recommends 2 sets of educators & learners on the internet: one set in affluent schools and one set in low-income schools. Watch the 15 min video to learn more. Barnwell comments on Poll Everywhere, Prezi, Wordle, Tumblr and Xtranormal as gimmicky, attention getting, but limiting & distracting. Students should use technology to think creatively, synthesize ideas, media forms, & think critically. As you become familiar with more tech tools, please share your comments with us. We all can learn from your experience.
