I've put together a collection of resources for using Google Docs for Learning on Scoop.It and I'm always looking for more.

If you have ideas to share, please take a minute to complete my Google form and share.

One of my goals is to weave digital tools into the Common Core to design flexible, student driven learning experiences that are Above the Line as defined by the SAMR model. While this might sound like a mouthful of EdTech, I assure you that combining all that is on our crowded plates is far better than tackling each individual initiative in isolation. This idea is supported by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.

"As education leaders incorporate the CCSS into school systems, P21 urges them to do so in a way that honors the fusion of the 3R's (core academic content mastery) and 4C's (critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration, communication and creativity and innovation). It is imperative that the CCSS be considered the "floor" --not the "ceiling"-- when it comes to expectations for student performance in the 21st Century."

--The Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2011

Weaving it All Together - In Simple Terms

The Common Core defines what students should be able to do.
Digital tools provide students with resources, flexible options and support to do it.
The SAMR model provides teachers with a point of reference to reflect on what they are asking students to do and challenges them to embrace technology to design learning experiences that allow students to do what couldn't be done without the tech.

This digital toolkit is filled with resources for compacting that crowded plate and embracing technology as a tool to fuel deep learning. It can be used as a launching pad to shift instructional practices that target the CCSS through active student participation, providing them with opportunities to engage in the 4C's. Explore it and dive in, one step at a time.

SAMR Through the Lens of Common Core Standards
Webinar: 12/3 @ 4:00 CST, sponsored by MyInfinitec.org

Are you looking for ways to leverage the power of technology to help students develop 21st Century Skills? Researchers have determined that technology integration typically moves through four specific levels: Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR).The higher the level of an activity the greater the educational benefit. This webinar will demonstrate how to use the SAMR model of technology integration as a guide for planning and implementing classroom learning experiences that take student learning to higher levels.

Join me and Infinitec as we look at some traditional learning tasks, align them to the Common Core Standards, and walk them up the SAMR ladder to show how to transform your teaching and "Teach Above the Line."

ThingLink has added a new feature to encourage collaboration and conversations about images. It's called REMIX.

What is REMIX?

-from the ThingLink Blog...

In music a remix is a song that has been edited to sound different from the original version — it may include additional effects and elements, or the composition of the elements has been changed.

ThingLink’s Remix feature follows the same idea with images. A rich media image is always a composition of content that conveys a unique experience. Now you can take an image you see, click the Remix button, add elements to it, and republish a new version. By doing so, you’re enabling a new conversation on the same image.

How Does REMIX Work?

Enable REMIX
If you are already using ThingLink you will need to turn REMIX on. Look for the option when you click on My Channel. New users will find this feature to be automatically enabled.

Try REMIX
You can REMIX someone else's image by going to ThingLink.com, selecting an image, and clicking on the REMIX icon to create your own version of the image in your account. Once the image is in your account you can add tags. The tags will appear on your REMIXed image, but they will only appear as Comments on the original image. The comments will have a link to your REMIXED version.

Here is an example of an image I REMIXED. Click the image to view the conversation.

A few Ways to Use REMIX with Students

Teachers can post an image with discussion questions for students to REMIX and answer.
Students can create an interactive image to demonstrate knowledge and ideas. As part of the sharing process, students can REMIX and add comments and responses to the ideas presented.
An interactive image can be used to present a real world problem to students. They can REMIX the image with possible solutions to the problem.

Common Core Connections

Try REMIX to launch learning experiences that engage students in a range of collaborative discussions to build on the ideas of others and express their own ideas clearly. This is one of the skills identified by the Common Core.

We are pleased to launch the ThingLink Teacher Summer Challenge today at ISTE 2015! This free, online, self-paced professional development is designed for busy educators who want to build a professional learning network and have fun learning through collaborative play.

We hope to make some noise here at #ISTE2015 and grab the attention of enthusiastic colleagues who have come together to connect and collaborate. To join the challenge, simply sign up.

As a longtime educator and instructional tech coach, I have embraced ePortfolios as a valuable tool for documenting learning over time, self-reflection, goal-setting and growth.

An ePortfolio is a collection of student work that is used to document student effort, progress, and achievement over time. Students become actively involved in their own learning as they engage in goal setting, decision making and self-reflection. ePortfolios are powerful tools for authentic assessment . ePortfolios can be an extremely useful tool for both formative and summative assessment at different stages of the learning process.

Dr. Helen Barrett has been researching strategies and technologies for ePortfolios since 1991. She outlines a developmental process to successfully implement ePortfolios by progressing through 3 levels.

Storage: Collection
Process: Collection + Reflection
Product: Selection/Reflection + Direction + Presentation

As I've explored the use of many viable solutions for digital ePortfolios for a decade myself, I have found Dr. Barrett's process to be extremely helpful for successful and sustained digital Portfolio management over the course of a school year. Of particular importance is to recognize that students and teachers need time to develop skills and introduce the process into the classroom workflow at each of the stages before progressing to the next.

ThingLink as an ePortfolio Tool

ThingLink is a great tool for creating ePortfolios because students can maintain their own ePortfolios easily and quickly. This keeps the focus on the learning, reflection and growth, not on the technology.

ThingLink as an ePortfolio Tool

Here is how Dr. Helen Barrett's process aligns with ThingLink as an ePortfolio tool.

Storage: Collection

Students can use a mobile device to simply snap a picture of an artifact to demonstrate learning and add it to their own ThingLink Portfolio Channel, which is a collection of interactive images. As a bonus, students can also capture learning as it happens in the classroom through video and add it to their ePortfolio channel.

Process: Collection + Reflection

After students have successfully managed the routine of collecting artifacts in their ThingLink Portfolio Channel, they can begin to reflect on their learning with a tap or the click of a mouse. Students can add tags with text or media to revisit the learning experience and explore concepts more deeply as they document their own learning.

Since ThingLink works across platforms and mobile devices, student reflections can become a regular part of their learning routines. Reflections can easily be added while using any device, even without wireless if using the free mobile app for iOS or Android. As an added bonus, teachers can add tags with feedback on their students' artifacts, providing powerful opportunities to personalize the learning and connect with students.

Product: Selection + Reflection + Direction + Presentation

When students are ready to take on the final level of ePortfolio implementation they can easily sift through their channel and ongoing collection of artifacts for review as they set goals and direction. At this point, educators might want to consider the use of two ePortfolios, suggested by the work of Dr. Helen Barrett.

A working ePortfolio: As students collect all of their artifacts consistently throughout the year, they might want to consider their ePortfolio channel to be a working ePortfolio, or collection of artifacts to choose from to develop fully for presentation.

Presentation ePortfolio: This is a more polished ePortfolio consisting of artifacts self-selected by the student. The cognitive process for creating one or more targeted ePortfolio channels involves sifting through the working ePortfolio, evaluating artifacts and making decisions about which artifacts to present. The technology involved requires the click of a button. The focus remains on the learning, not on the technology

Whether you decide to have a working ePortfolio and a presentation ePortfolio or you stick with one, ThingLink channels support the presentation process well. Channels can be rearranged easily with the free app to organize ePortfolios by theme or to demonstrate growth in one area. Students can take a closer look at their artifacts add additional tags with rich media to demonstrate growth in target areas as they progress throughout the year. Students can even replace background images on slides to polish their collections and prepare them for presentation, while the links remain in tact.

A Student Example from Storage to Presentation

There are many great ways to present a ThingLink Portfolio, ranging from simple to advanced, depending on your comfort level with tech and the age of the learners. Because ThingLink is a flexible tool that integrates beautifully with a variety of powerful 3rd party tools, it will grow with teachers and students as they become more tech savvy and expand their tech toolkits. Here is an example of one interactive image within a student portfolio that is simple, yet powerful. This is a great way to use ThingLink ePortfolios as a formative assessment tool.

This interactive images above certainly documents learning, progress and growth and it is easy to see how this type of portfolio follows the process from storage to reflection to direction. When students are ready for the presentation aspect, they can choose to take advantage of the "replace image" feature to remix their own content and highlight a learning goal. This is optional, of course. Simply click the link below any ThingLink EDU Premium image and replace the old image with a new one, keeping the tags in tact.

The great news is that a ThingLink Channel is portable. A student portfolio channel can be viewed in full screen on the ThingLink site, or It can be embedded in a blog, website, or 3rd party tool that supports embedding. If your Learning Management System (LMS) doesn't support embedding, you can add a link to an ePortfolio channel for easy access. Here are a few ideas for discovering a presentation method that works for you and your students.

Share student ePortfolios with parents and stakeholders via a link in an email or through your learning management system.
Embed an ePortfolio channel into student blogs to provide a place for the published ePortfolio along with a personal written narrative. Students can focus on any one artifact by embedding it in a post, or they can reflect on a series of artifacts. Student blogging is an effective way to take the learning to the next level, while focusing on writing for an authentic audience.
Require students to periodically record and narrate a tour of their online ePortfolio to highlight their learning and growth. (This could be part of a student blog, or it could be a stand alone.)

On a computer or Chromebook, use a simple screencasting tool such as Screencast-o-matic.
On a mobile device, use the web browser feature in Explain Everything to pull up the live ThingLink Portfolio. Combining two or more apps to utilize combined features is commonly referred to as App Smashing. Explore this interactive image to learn more about smashing these two apps.

Final Thoughts

Access to the camera on a mobile device with the free ThingLink App for iOS or Android is the best way to support the ePortfolio process with ThingLink. While this is obviously a perfect match for the 1:1 iPad classroom, ThingLink ePortfolios can be maintained with less classroom technology because students can start a ThingLink on one device and easily continue working on another device to continue learning. I encourage educators interested in adopting the ePortfolio process to try ThingLink as your tool and enjoy the freedom to work on any device that's convenient at the moment!

As the ThingLink Education Community Manager, I am rounding up talented educators who are interested in joining our professional learning network of Expert Educators. This is a great opportunity to learn, share and grow within our professional learning community.

Lingro is an amazing online tool that turns any website or digital text file into an interactive dictionary where users can click on a word to view it's definition and hear it's pronunciation. Support by 12 languages, Lingro is also a very useful tool for translating text.

Lingro is easy to use. Just copy and paste any web address into Lingro's web browser and click on a word, or use the file viewer to upload a document and translate it in the same way. One of the most impressive features of Lingro is that it stores and remembers all the words you click on and allows you to easily create and store words lists. Then, with the click of a button, Lingro turns your word lists into an online flash card game.

This tool does not require a login to use the most basic features so it can be a handy tool for students without an email address, but teachers should create a free account to take advantage of additional features, such as storage, history and word lists.

Subscribe to Blogs: Let the Information Come to You

For a brief moment, I'm going to elaborate on an idea introduced to me by Helena Bowers at the Illinois Computing Educators conference. She described The New Digital Divide in great detail, but the one idea that encouraged me to start this blog can be found in her description of the difference between "Those who know who to get info to travel to them vs. those who don’t." Blogs allow us to let the information travel to us via subscription to RSS.

How does one get the information in blogs to travel to them? Look for the Subscribe To icon in the sidebar of this blog and click on it. You will be walked through the steps of adding the blog to a familiar personalized page you may or may not have already created, or you can take my suggestion and choose to add the blog to a Google Reader page.

The Google Reader page is handy if you use Gmail because access to it can be found right on your Gmail screen. This is where you'll find the link to Google Reader.

Hopefully I've encouraged some of you to let the information come to you. The choice is up to you, but it sure beats having to remember to check all of those blogs every day! If you need more detailed directions for subscribing to a blog using Google Reader, click here.

A few people have experienced this problem when upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1. Somehow the Registry and permissions are set incorrectly after the update and need to be corrected. We found a couple of solutions to th e problem and you can read a rather long and complicated one at bit.ly/apps. However, we’ve also found a slightly shorter solution. On the Start screen, type command, right-click Command Prompt in the search pane and select ‘Run as administrator’. In the command prompt window, type:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy
Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage
-DisableDevelopmentMode
-Register $Env:SystemRoot\
WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

That’s one command, all on one line. Press Enter, then type:

start “” “ms-windows-store:”

Th ere’s no space between the first two quotes. Close the Command Prompt window and you should find that you can access the Windows Store, and your apps are updated and working.

How To Fix Window 8.1 startup freeze

A This problem is most likely caused by software or drivers that aren't fully compatible with Windows 81. You'll have to use trial and error to find out which one is the culprit. Press Windows+R and type msconfig to launch System Configuration. Select the Services tab, tick 'Hide all Microsoft services' and clear the ticks against everything that remains. Apply the changes. Right-click the taskbar on the Desktop and select Task Manager. On the Startup tab, select each entry and click the Disable button. Now try restarting Windows without all the usual extras that load with it. If Windows starts normally, the problem must be with one of the items that was disabled. By enabling items individually and rebooting each time, you should discover the culprit. If it still won't start the first time, it is likely to be a driver. Go to the manufacturer's website of the video card, printer, webcam and anything else you have installed, and look for updated software.

How To Fix Nexus 7 won’t charge

The charging problem you describe has indeed been reported on numerous occasions and the response you received from Asus, to pay for a repair, could be jumping the gun and also potentially ignoring what may be a hardware issue. You also mentioned that you managed to get to 100% by using Blu-tack, which would suggest to us that there is an issue with the charging port, but then we consider that you can get the device to 40% so this adds more confusion. Here are some steps to run the battery down to 0% – make sure you have backed up your data first.

Charge it overnight and run it down to 0% again. This may help the software understand the true battery level better. Next, go to the Data Usage section in Settings, or install a third-party app that can do this, and check to see if any apps are using an extreme amount of data. Certain apps have been known to drain batteries very quickly and to even inhibit the charging process. If you are still stuck, borrow a new charging cable and see if that helps or risk buying an original spare from www.asusparts.eu. Outside of these options, you may have to consider the repair, but we would advise taking a firmer stance with Asus as well to see if that reaps rewards.

Although it’s not strictly a web secret, we have to mention the Easter Egg tucked away inside each version of Android. Go to Settings, ‘About phone’ (or ‘About tablet’) and tap ‘Android version’ several times. If you have Android KitKat installed on your device, a big ‘K’ will appear. Press down on this to see the word Android in a KitKat ch ocolate-bar style logo, then press down on this to launch a game that fills your screen with colourful tiles representing previous version of Android (Donut, Eclair, and so on). If you’re using Jelly Bean, a big red jelly bean will appear; long-press this to launch the secret jelly bean game. Older versions of Android also have Easter eggs that you can access by the same steps. For example, on Ice Cream Sandwichd evices, you’l get an animation of flying Android logos wearing ice cream sandwiches.
