In this podcast they discuss "10 Things that CIO’s Can Learn from Angry Birds."
"You have to play to figure out the rules, the same is true with technology." Through out this whole podcast they relate education to technology through the game 'Angry Birds'. They mention that everyone has their different strengths and talents that make them unique. Teaching is never going to be simple just like this game is not simple to get to the next level.
They also talk about "Little Bird Tales" which is a tool for younger students to create a story. There are three steps; upload artwork, record or type text and email to friends! It is a green alternative to books which is a good thing to be promoting to the class. It is a complete digital book. You are only limited if the recordings are too long and the pictures are too large, otherwise you can have multiple pages and lots of fun!
One other thing they mentions was "MyFakeWall". You make a fake page based on a person or a character. It is an easy to navigate free site. It is a great assessment piece, they have to know their persons background, some events and who they might be linked to. This seems like a really interesting funny site that students of every age would enjoy!
