Welcome to the first of our student made podcasts. These are podcasts written and performed by sixth graders at Pine Lake Middle School. The premise is to a have a book talk as the actual characters from the book.

This lost podcast was recorded a few weeks back. On it we dive into how teachers can equip students to customize their learning experience.

On this episode we discuss our technology fears and dive into tools that support students in becoming empowered learners through reflection.

We talk about past visions of the future and dip our toes into a discussion about how to best support students in becoming globally competent.

We're back from our holidays and talking about computational thinking.

This fortnight, our little crew becomes a big crew as we discuss our first experiences with computer programming and hear why all kids should have a chance to learn about coding.

This episode we dive into ISTE's Knowledge Constructor standard through the lens of helping students find truth amidst the information onslaught that is our new reality.

With this fortnight's edition, we share about technology that helps us handle the busy-ness of Fall, dive into the connections between Social Emotional Learning and Digital Citizenship and look at SeeSaw in our IRL segment

We're back with a brand new season of The New Tools and we're kicking it off right by diving into digital citizenship. Specifically we look at how teachers can weave DC into every lesson. We also have our first edition of IRL, a new story telling initiative in which we're following teachers and students who are in the thick of integrating new technology. This week we visit the classroom of Eric Ensey who has decided to use Class Notebook.
