Yep. Depth is more important. But we all know we have a lot to cover. We need to be empowered to do what is most helpful. Sometimes cutting things out just needs to happen.

Love this. This made me think very deeply indeed. I totally identify with what he says too. So, that's all I have for this. I'm thinking still! See what happens with it for next year.

Seen this used pretty successfully in grad school. Let's see how younger people do.

I've used Google Forms, but this is pretty quick and nice. I'm going to do some experiments as see which one I like best.

I use this to post stuff for my own writing. But why not give students more voice with it?

Could be a good place for students to build themselves on the internet. Link their writing and other work.

Could empower students to use their district sites or Weebly. Got to give choice.

I use analog checklists and the like, but I've been tinkering with this, and it seems pretty simple. I like simple technologies. You can adapt to them well.

Got to empower students to create their own collection databases.

Used this one in the past for a hot minute. Got to get it back into rotation. Quick to setup. Easy to keep going. Just a good throwaway way to keep things communicating in the class.

I use this in my personal life, but I like how Marchetti has kids using this in the class. Need to do this. Like teacher, like student.

Never used this. Only for teacher presentations. It's a good way to show students how the drafting process works.

Students are used to going to the board and using that as a place to put their minds for the class to see. This is what Padlet is. It changes things up to. Shows how students can be responsible thinkers in the digital realm.

Students can know the power of audience here. Medium is for the world, and it allows students to easily see their reading stats, something that is powerful because it's not just the class that could be reading their work.

Think about what you want the end product to be. Is it an product that you yourself would like? If not, move on.

Too much complication can mean that students give up.

Sometimes new apps can be cool to do, but not cool to do all the time or cool to do for meaningful purposes.

Sometimes you got to try something and just be like, well, that didn't work. What can we learn from this experience as a class?

"Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful" (Couros 162).

"True innovation in education will only happen when a new structure is created: one that nurtures critical thinkers, supports risk-takers and encourages ongoing transformation, and that places a high value on creative and insightful learning/teaching in classrooms" (Couros 165).

I love Couros's pitch about time. We need to be efficient, and we need to produce a lot. Embracing technology to do so is important. But we always must be evaluating if the technology is doing what we want it to do.
