Digital Edge Learning Interchange (thanks to Betsy for this
link) -
The Digital Edge project is an initiative of NBPTS, the
International Society for Technology in Education, Apple, and the
AT&T Foundation. The project uses the expertise of National
Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs). The project addresses
technology's role in the classroom and the role of NBCTs as models
for pre-service and practicing teachers. This innovative Web site
features NBCTs in videos of exemplary teaching examples with an
emphasis on technology integration.
The lessons and other materials, called "exhibits," focus on using
technology with students in a wide range of subject areas. The 58
exhibits contain an introduction, lesson plan, video clips,
student work samples, assessment tools, resources, research, and
teacher and student reflection. Each exhibit includes correlation
to the NBPTS standards, ISTE (International Society for Technology
in Education) standards, and state/local content standards.
The content on the Digital Edge Web site can be used in many ways
to help teachers. Currently, four partnering universities are
incorporating the exhibits into their teacher preparation
programs. |
