students with laptopsIn preparation for my undergraduate course, Integrating Technology into the Secondary Curriculum, I have been sifting through hundreds of bookmarks in my Delicious account. I have started a document containing 150+ resources/links, many of which will serve as assigned readings and starting points for students. This collection of resources is divided into 12 categories that include social media, learning with technology, adolescence, social networks, tactics, strategy, failure, critical thinking, games, social action, lifehacks, and other teaching and learning resources. The list will grow and change over the coming weeks; nevertheless, I felt compelled to share what I have so far.

Feedback is encouraged.

The audience is a collection of undergraduate students who are minoring in education. This presentation is used to provide a visual narrative for discussing the many concepts associated with teaching and learning in the 21st century.

Here is the course’s week one agenda for those interested.
