This week we are researching instructional tools to use in our classrooms. These tools should allow students to create an active learning community where they ca not only solve problems but also find their own problems to solve. The interaction that can be accomplished using these tools is just amazing. The interaction can be within the class (teacher/ student,student/student) within the state, the nation and yes even the world. Scaffolding experiences can be accomplished by the expert/ novice approach to learning and understanding. Educational tools such as monkeysurvey can be used for formative assessment during the course. Tools such as websites and email can keep connecting classrooms to the community. On line learning is such an eye opener. The information below this article was shared with my classmates as well as educational peers. It will be interesting if I can get my fellow educators to try out these tools to improve their instruction.

Which tool are you talking about here? What would be the incentive for your fellow colleagues to use whatever tool you are talking about?
I changed the statement to be "these tools" Both articles listed information on a variety of tools to use in the class-room and the video was a great resource to show how technology is used in todays class-rooms. My hope was to stimulate some interest in my fellow educators so that maybe they would look into the possibilities of using one or more of the tools in delivering course content to their students.
