At Ohio State University, students developed a list of 10 ways that instructors can use the learning management system more effectively — common-sense guidelines that aim to make courses more consistent, predictable, easier to navigate and generally more student-friendly. We spoke with Sam Craighead, associate director of professional learning in Ohio State's Office of Technology and Digital Innovation, about understanding the student perspective, supporting faculty with research-based practices, and the impact of instructional design on student success.

Updated in February, 2022


Blogging is a digital activity with immense educational potential. You can easily integrate blogging into your teaching to both transform your professional practice and to open up new learning possibilities for your students.


There are various ways to use educational blogging in your instruction including to showcase students learning, to share extracurricular resources, to create a virtual hub for interacting with students remotely, to connect with parents and school community, to extend learning beyond classroom walls, to share assignments and important dates/events, among others.









As I argued elsewhere, when you decide to integrate blogging into your teaching, you need to conceptualize it within a pedagogical framework with clear objectives and learning goals. You also need to set up custom blogging rubrics to help you assess students learning and track their overall progress.


There are several blogging platforms that you can use to create your classroom blog. Blogger by Google is among the best ones out there. In today's post, I am sharing with you this step by step guide to help you set up your classroom blog using Blogger platform.

5 Incredibly Effective Teaching Practices

As teachers and educators, we are in a constant state of flux. Traditional ways of teaching are taking backstage while new emerging methodologies are thrusted to the forefront. In fact, the educational landscape is changing so fast that it is hard to predict what our classrooms will be like in the near future.

Technology is definitely a key factor in this change but is not the only one, and certainly not the silver bullet of education. External environmental factors also have their say in what is happening in the education sector. Think about the current pandemic and the seismic impact it has on education, an impact whose ripples are still reverberating across the educational spectrum.

Google Meet is definitely one of the best video conferencing tools to use in your distance education. The education community is increasingly drawing on its communicative power to deliver courses, host meetings and PD sessions, organize online conferences, run virtual classes, and many more. Given its educational potential I have dedicated a whole section featuring resources to help teachers make the best of this platform in their teaching.


After we have seen how to record Google Meet captions and live chat messages, today's post features two equally important extensions that will help you charge your Meet with more practical functionalities:


1- Google Meet Enhancement Suite





Google Meet Enhancement Suite adds over 40 features to Google Meet. These include basic features such as : push to talk (allows you to mute and unmute yourself with a single click), auto join (lets you get directly to the meeting), quick leave (lets you leave meetings with a single click), set background colour, automatically enable captions on calls, auto video off, auto mute, and many more.
As for the pro features they include: auto record, speaker highlight, meeting timer, mirror videos, mute all, do not disturb mode, auto pin chat, auto-full presentation free on presentation, display clock, hotkey editing, dark mode, and many more.


2- Meet Plus for Google Meet





Another key extension that adds more interactive features to Google Meet. Basic features include: drag/resize/restore video tiles, dark modes, show/hide bottom bar, emoji reaction, help request (participants can request help from the meeting host), task management (participants receive tasks from the meeting host), trivia quiz (integrate trivia quiz in meetings), link sharing (participants can share links during meet sessions), meeting timer, stopwatch, and many more.

As the pandemic continues bringing change to higher education through the academic year, faculty, instructional designers and IT professionals are being more selective about the technology they choose for instructing and engaging students. While hundreds of education companies, nonprofits and other organizations made their software and services free during the immediate switch to remote learning, many have become more thoughtful about how they help educators master online and blended instruction. We've sifted through their offerings to bring you this updated set of free resources to help with online, hybrid and face-to-face learning in 2022.

If your organization has a resource that should be added to this list, send a brief message to rkelly@1105media.com with "free resource" in the subject header and include a link to your offer's website.

Adobe has developed a resource hub for education with free templates, links to free software (including Adobe Acrobat, Sign and tools for Google Drive) and videos with instructions for how to use the programs. https://acrobatusers.com/edu-resource-hub/educators/

4 Essential Digital Skills for Teachers in 2021


Educatorstechnology 

Wednesday, January 27, 2021 digital skills, professional development

The current pandemic and the havoc it wrecked upon our lives have radically transformed the way we teach and learn. Hybrid (flipped) learning and remote and distance teaching have become the norm. More than ever before teachers and educators are becoming increasingly dependent on the power of digital and web technologies to conduct their daily teaching and to take part in virtual professional development events. With this being the case, I engaged in a deep reflection on the question of what counts as essential digital skills in (post)pandemic era and came up with categories below. In broader terms, these are the skills teachers and educators need to thrive in a digitally-mediated education. I invite you to check them out and share with me your feedback.

5 razões para usar tecnologias digitais na sala de aula...há mais, mas

It might have been long coming, but one fact is becoming quite clear. Traditional classrooms can no longer keep up with growing technology today. For example, one factor contributing to this trend is the fast-paced development of educational games for kids and online educational games for kids.

Still, many teaching concepts cling to traditional schooling. The opponents of the change point to the possibility that technology in the classroom could promote cheating. Possibly, but the facts that speak about the need to use modern technology in the classroom are more overwhelming.

Current trends and events give ample reasons this change is inevitable. Even before March 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic, trends in modern technology showed the positive elements of its use in the classroom.

4 Good Screen Recording Tools for Teachers

 Educatorstechnology    Thursday, April 22, 2021  

One way to boost your distance teaching during (and post) this pandemic is through  creating and sharing screencasts and instruction videos with your students. In today's post we are sharing with you some of our favourite Chrome applications that you can use to record your screen and create instructional video materials to share with your students or embed in your virtual class.

Using these extension will enable you to create video tutorials, step-by step guides, video explainers, and many more. Depending on which of them you use, these applications differ on the kind of features they provide and also on how much you can do with their free versions. However, for better screencasts and educational how-to videos we recommend that you choose a service that allows you to: include your webcam in the recording, integrate voice-overs or narrate using your voice,  access annotation tools (eg. add text, circles, draw, doodle, etc). Here are our recommendations:
