Technology Integration in Education
I include here a useful link for those who, like me, look for ideas for technology integration:
Teaching Now! TV on-line!
[Teaching NOW! looks at the relationship between education and technology. The series explores the issues, ideas, and strategies of technology integration by presenting K-12 and post-secondary case studies from across US. Funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Education.]
Hope Secondary School: 2008-2009
By creating this blog, I hope to answer the recent questions/ suggestions of some of my HSS ex-students who want to continue having access to their last year's works (because the school's server is not currently working).
I haven't found -yet-a way to display the IT projects posted on our website because they require too much space on my server.
I hope that the students who wanted to still be able to see them on-line are not very disappointed:)
I am happy if my electronic resources -which I mention below- can be useful to other teachers. Therefore anybody is more than welcome to use them.
Some of the students' works and YRBK pages, as well as some resources I created for the IT classes, can be found on the website we created during the academic year 2008-2009 ( that has never been completed because I left the school).

With respect to technology Integration in my Math classes ( one of my old passions, as you can see from the next entry of this blog) , I couldn't do much at HSS.
However, in my computer studies courses, we used our webdesign knowledge from IT classes to gather the Animation projects in a website - as a final project for the Animation course, at the end of the semester . ( see here only a few final projects)
If you want more ideas such as the one above -in terms of cross-disciplinary projects/ technology integration in your classes , you might find useful this website.
