AACE, ISTE, ITEA, and AECT are all places for teachers as associations to fall back on for help and resources. I would like to talk about just two today, and possibly the others later.
I found ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) to be the most useful as a teacher. It had helpful sites for the use of Web 2.0 as well as curriculum ideas! The webpage was usable and a great future resource for K-12 teachers of all content areas.
ITEA (International Technology Education Association) was also helpful. It's viewpoint is focused on technology-literacy through hands-on technology largely in science and math- perfect for us science teachers! From grants and conferences to journals and resources, ITEA offers many outlets for the technology saavy teacher (or the beginner who needs a helping hand).
AACE and AECT are also wonderful technology education associations focused on bringing technology to all students in a constructive way. These websites focused more on how to bring various medias to the classroom. This is something I want to explor more, including how to create and use successfully my own videos in the chemistry labs and lectures. Where could we go with videos? Could we tape each lab and lecture for absent students one year and be able to hand them out every year after? Could we videotape experiments gone well vs. horribly to show safety lessons at the beginning of the school year? What else are you science teachers thinking?
