We all know that students today are having trouble unplugging when they enter the classroom.  They are living in a world that is moving faster than ever, so when they enter the classroom the movement is still at a snail’s pace.  We have taken steps, though small, in the right direction to make the classroom more exciting and interactive by developing uses for technology in the classroom, but haven’t found way to implement them into our lesson plans for everyday use.  Here is a list of strategies that can be used to implement technology, everything from traditional strategies that are currently used, to some new strategies that you may not have heard of.

This article on techlearning.com is quite helpful, especially if your school or district has limited access to iPads. Check out the "29 Ways to Use the Only iPad in the Classroom."

Whether your access to iPads is limited or not, if you are interested in more ideas on how to use iPads in the classroom, check out the archived recording of the webinar "Help! My Students All Have iPads, Now What?" here.

Color and color management is an in-depth and lengthy subject in Photoshop. But there are some basics you should know as you work with your documents. In this series, we'll take a look at color modes, color spaces and how to sync color across the Adobe Creative Suite. We'll choose colors that are safe for print and for the Web and proof those colors on screen.

Vacaville Christian Schools in Vacaville, CA recently embarked on a district-wide iPad initiative. While most of the educators grasped the transition to the tablets in their instruction, one teacher in particular struggled.

“She was one of the best math teachers on the planet,” Middle School Principal Maylene Ripley said, “But she said she couldn’t do it and she resigned. ”

Although the Middle School would miss the talented math teacher, Ripley didn’t want to force the transition on her. Over the few months after her resignation, her colleagues kept in touch with her and encouraged her that the training and support they were getting through the school’s Atomic Learning subscription would help her through. She decided to return to the school and used the school’s online training solution to become proficient enough in using the tablet that she now teaches other educators how to use their mobile device effectively in their classrooms.
