Hey Dr. T, I really like to use my textbook's website to create review games for my students. It's www.classzone.com. My students really love to play them! -Sarah B.
I'm learning to use SharePoint 2007 with an integrated Learning Management System. Ideally, the class site is the warehouse for all resources (calendars, blogs, links, copies, etc) that we share as a classroom.
I integrate technology into the classroom in various ways. My students do various authentic assessments using technology. My students create videos, commercials, and Keynote presentations in the Spanish language. We use the internet to research various cultural topics. I also use an online textbook where students complete assignments online as well as create recordings on the textbook website.
Technology is integrated into my classroom curriculum through the use of a classroom blog, games and review on a Quia, as well as through interactive websites and simulations that go along with the material we are studying. Students are encouraged to use a variety of creative ways to complete assignments to help differentiate lessons.
My school just got an ENO board! I love using it to read e-books, show my students something I'd like them to create in KidPix, or even to do whole group work in Phonics! There is a great feature that lets the kids (and me) use the pen to draw a dotted line! I use it in the beginning of the year to write simple words or even capital versus lower case letters and have the students pick a solid color to trace over it. I'm still learning all the great things it can do so I'd love new suggestions, since we never got any formal training!
I use technology in my classroom on a daily basis due to each of my students having their own laptop. Most recently I have used MacJournal as a bellringer activity to review the material from the previous day. The students respond to a prompt I give them when they walk in the door. For example, we recently talked about addiction to different substances in Health class. I asked the students to tell me about something they may be addicted to in their lives, and how they would feel if it was taken away from them.
Teaching Special Education, I have found it pretty easy for me to use technology in the class, but I'm currently struggling with how to incorporate it into my classroom where my students are using it. I find it very frustrating to create a great lesson and then with the varied levels of skill and experience in my self-contained classes, I have some students who fly through the assignments and other students who can't remember their user names and passwords to log-in to the school website. I have set-up a few class blogs via www.kidsblog.org, some classes excel with it, I noticed that other classes have less than 50% completion rate if I try to have the students do it outside of class. These students have access to computers all week in the resource study hall, but still have problems logging in. I have decided that next year, I'm going to spend the first week teaching tech stuff specifically geared towards my class instead of my history curriculum. I have run into trouble assuming that my students now how to cut and paste but have found out, that they haven't. I need to train them and plan on doing that more next year.
I was just thinking to revamp my roller coaster physics presentation using animoto! Music videos of the roller coasters they have created and applied the concepts of physics sounds amazing!
I use technology everyday to present my lessons to my students. With a tablet laptop and projector, I am able to write on the document the students are using. I am also able to post these notes online to SharePoint in order for my students to print them off.
My reason for getting a masters in Educational Technology is so that I can develop lesson plans where students get to use technology more frequently. I need to develop lessons and assignments that require them to use technology more. - Keri M.

It seems the new term is "infuse" technology in the classroom. I'm told that "infusing" is more seamless and pervasive than "integrating".
Anyway, I am trying to use technology more. However, I want to use it to transform learning, not just to use technology for the sake of using it.

I try to incorperate the SmartBoard on a daily basis. Today we use the board to teach slope to my low-level pre-algebra class.
