Pedagogical Tools and Samples of Student / Class Work:

 

I am a strong proponent of the use of digital technology in education because I think it can be an invaluable pedagogical tool. From YouTube videos and blogs to twitter, wikis and digital portfolios, these digital tools can help address diverse learning styles, interactively engage students in the learning process, open up opportunities for discourse with many outside of their immediate learning environment, allow for opportunities to put theory into practice, and better prepare them for the use of digital tools in their future professions. 

  

Below are examples of my use of technology within the classroom. I provide only samples, as the actual list would be too extensive. I will continue to add to these lists as new digital tools and examples emerge.
