Hey everyone! The top 7 trends I am seeing at the elem. level are

online games Wikis onilne testing helps (Study Island based on MCA scores) online videos and interactive books (teacher tube, United streaming, tumble books)

Right now this is all I can think of that is being used for online learning. We do also offer lots of parent resources, like checking grades and lunch accounts through Skyward... I'm sure at the higher levels there is much more being used. I'm excited to see what you all are using! megan

I would add for trends from a Middle school standpoint: 1.) online testing (NWEA/MCA) 2.) technology integration 3.) Web 2.0 tools (wordle, wikis, weebly) -Mark

Hello! The top 7 trends I am seeing in the high school world are the use of: 1. Interactive Whiteboards 2. Virtual Learning Environments (Moodle, D2L, Blackboard) - 3. Virtual classrooms (Elluminate, Adobe Connect)- 4. Class Response Systems 5, Web 2.0 (Jing, Delicious) 6. Parent Resources (Skyward, School Messenger) 7. Interactive Course textbook sites Anne Oh yes. We are using interactive white boards too. There is one in every classroom in my building. Including the art and music rooms. I didn't think about those because they are not nessesarily online tools. Just technology. Do you think they should still be included? They certainly are a growing technology trend... megan ﻿  I just want to let you all know that I have been trying to communicate! I wasn't completely putting off this project... I just couldn't get on to wikispaces. The ideas I shared with Anne via email included, Prezi presentation software, Learning Managment Systems like D2L, MOODLE, Angel, Blackboard, and Web 2.0 tools where students put their ideas online. Thanks, Kristen I have updated the 7 trends with what people are doing and have emailed/signed up for. HERE IS THE COMPILED LIST OF TOPICS FROM D2L and the assignments people have chosen. Some people had made choices that were already taken but there were postings all over the place so not everyone got every post. Is this correct?? **Dr. Park's requirements:**  **Discussion topic**: Think about current issues and trends in online learning. What are the top 7 trends in online learning in your area(s)? Your team will identify your own trends and describe each trend (less than 200 words) and include APA references. **K12 Top 7 Trends** 1. Web 2.0 tools (Wordle, wikis, Prezi)--DANA 2. Learning Management Systems (Moodle, Blackboard) KRISTEN - If we are not working on here anymore, please let me know!  A learning management system allows students and teachers to interact with each other and with the content via the internet. This type of system allows teachers to post material, host discussions, provide assessments to students with immediate feedback, and creates a space for students to turn work in. There are many different learning management systems available to schools. A few common ones include D2L, MOODLE, Angel, and BlackBoard. Currently schools both K-12 and in higher education are using learning management systems to extend their classrooms. These systems may be used to provide students in a face-to-face classroom with "extra" information to take the material learned further or the system may be used to host an actual class in the case of an asynchronous online class.
