Introducing and Exploring Ideas

Disclaimer: I originally created this listing a ways back when there were far fewer supportive technologies that one might use to deliver the routines. My intent back then was not to provide a complete listing of tools. The intent was to get teachers to think about how they could use technology to support and possibly enhance the routines by using technology. A second focus was to offer the possibility of using a blended approach to get students to start working on the routines outside of class to then make the most of face to face class meeting time. Now with virtual school around the world one can shift the use of the routines to full on virtual. I am no longer in the tech integration biz so the tools are limited to the ones I offered many years ago. There are multiple websites out there that provide up to date listings of tools for different tasks. Check them out as you move into introducing the routines in your virtual classrooms.
