How Do I Use...?

Very often I find myself being asked the question, "how do I use a particular technology tool or resource in my classroom for teaching, learning and assessment, keeping in line with state and national standards?" The new National Education Technology Plan (NETP) guidelines reference these areas of education and identify how educators can enhance their curriculums by addressing today's necessary skills. But where do you start? With various options available on the internet, gathering valuable tools can be overwhelming. Some are free, some are device specific and some have sharing or recording limitations.

I will update this Google document on an ongoing basis, but here are some of the most common tools to get you started with integrating useful technology into your curriculum.
