Educational Origami

Development in technology brings instructors many exciting and promising opportunities. However, how to integrate those new tools into little changed traditional classroom education or newly arising online education is one of the most challenging issues that teachers face. Education Origami—a Wiki created by Andrew Churches, a New Zealand middle school teacher—is dedicated to help instructors migrate from traditional classroom to technology-enhanced instruction.

One of the resource that I find particular useful for a teacher starting to utilize technology in teaching is Bloom's Taxonomy and Digital Approaches. In this article, the author create a connection between the Bloom's Taxonomy Element-a familiar concept to many teachers-and digital approaches and tools.

You may also find inspired by Traditional Practice and Digital Approaches, which looks at "traditional classroom practice and potential digital alternatives." The table is especially useful when you'd like to convert a traditional classroom activity into an online practice.

The Wiki site also has a lot of information regarding how to utilize digital tools according the student's learning style, e.g., visual learner, auditory learner, reader/write learner, and kinesthetic learner.
