New PD Opportunities and Tech Integration Projects

We now have Atomic Learning’s 21st Century Skills PD and Tech Integration Collection.


A video tutorial on Audacity.

Basically, we now have a collection of Web-based video tutorials on a wide variety of tools. We also have tutorials on 21st century skills workshops and projects. From their blog,

Atomic Learning promotes the practical application of technology in education. Thousands of schools, colleges, and universities have made Atomic Learning an integral part of their professional development programs, a valuable curriculum supplement and an anytime/anywhere software training resource.

I think we’ll like the anytime/anywhere access (Internet connection required) to these resources. We purchased this collection for teachers and students. Early next week I’ll meet with a rep from Atomic Learning to discuss our available features and how to make the most of them.

For now, I know I will be using the tutorials to support our Tech20 sessions which focus on the key tech skills teachers need at IST. I’ll also use the 21st Century Skills Workshops to support our discussions about what teaching and learning looks like at IST today. How about you? How will you use these tutorials?

About Tod

I have a variety of experience in elementary and secondary schools as both a mainstream and specialist teacher in Colombia, the United States, Venezuela and China. Most recently, I taught grade five in the Primary Years Program at International School of Tianjin (IST), an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. Now the PreK-12 IT Coordinator, I teach elementary technology classes and coordinate technology integration at IST. I advocate using technology to support inquiry and action in otherwise unobtainable ways. I have presented at NECC 2008, Learning2.0, and Learning2.008. You can also find me on a blog that provides readers a view of education from international teachers, U Tech Tips and Tod Baker, my personal blog.
