Remember having fun with Dash and Dot? they are part of @WonderWorkshop 

An hour of code is there as @hourofcode  and if you have something to say about an experience with @SwiftPlayground this is how you can get their ear :-)

SAMR model

SAMR is a model for selecting, using, and evaluating technology in education, created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura.  As you are looking ant the resources and later talk about the model in class please think at what stage of SAMR model (which letter) will your students be while using the technology during your pbl activity? This pdf document contains the questions you should ask yourself in order to successfully transition from Substitution to Redefinition stage. Please try to answer the questions with the relation to your final project.

Welcome to the Creating Technology-Enhanced Learning Environments RWLD.

This is where you will find additional Readings, Watchings, Listenings and Doings (RWLD). This RWLD provides a simple method for sharing multimedia resources with students throughout the course.

Before we begin, however, It would be interesting to find out your learning style.  

Begin by completing  Learning Styles (ILS) Questionnaire

• Learn which learning styles are your strengths. Save your results, you will use them in your introduction.
