Educational Technology Web 2.0 software




Does anyone knows the one place for teachers to create and deliver lessons digitally?




You are right! Blendspace is the best place.
Visit the Edcanvas home page to see how it works and how easy it can be to start building and sharing a great lesson. Once there, you'll see and experience tons of resources that you can start using right away to enhance your lessons.






 General overview:
              Edcanvas is a fairly new free Web 2.0 tool. I see so much potential for it as a support system for good, strong lesson plans. The education community is growing at Edcanvas. Here's what the Edcanvas team has to say about their tool: "Edcanvas is the one place for teachers to create and deliver lessons digitally. Teachers and students can use Edcanvas to organize their work and present knowledge." Pretty neat concept, Through the use of canvases that you build and create following simple steps, you are organizing, presenting and sharing online resources with your students and colleagues in a way that's vibrant and unique.


What does it do for the field of educational technology:
             The ability to access lesson plans online about anywhere in the world will make learning easier and more sufficient.  Teachers can download well structured lessons online and deliver it to the students. Online colorful lesson plans can be more interesting to students, videos can be attached.


Provide a break down
1.     The Good: Edcanvas allows teachers to control the online environment. with monitoring and approving content, the dangers associated with social media can be avoided.
2.     The Bad: A school's social media must be managed by someone who understands social media and is passionate about the school. Otherwise students will feel it isn't authentic.
3.     The Bottom Line: Edcanvas should be used in all educational institutions.


My rating is 4.9 out of 5.
