How are teachers using technology?

Teachers' Use of Educational Technology in U.S. Public Schools: 2009 (May 2010) This First Look report presents data from a spring 2009 teacher Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) survey on the availability and use of educational technology. This includes information on the use of computers and Internet access in the classroom; availability and use of computing devices, software, and school or district networks (including remote access) by teachers; students' use of educational technology; teachers' preparation to use educational technology for instruction; and technology-related professional development activities.

KeepVid.com  At my PD, I introduced the online program idesktop.tv, that allows the user to download and save YouTube and Teachertube videos.  Several of the participants mentioned KeepVid as a better alternative.  To all those of you who mentioned KeepVid, you are hereby awarded a virtual gold star.  Not only is it free and allows you an unlimited number of daily downloads but it is very fast.  Try it...you'll like it.

In the SSS watercooler, Ryan Dougher has detailed directions for using KeepVid with Safari.
