What I use
I am in a new job this year teaching web design. I thought it might be productive to talk a little about what we use and maybe people can give suggestions for other hardware/software.
Dreamweaver: Our district uses Macromedia. In my previous district I used Frontpage. Both are very similar. If web design is a class about coding I can see how Dreamweaver would be effective. If it is about design/communication then I don’t think it really matters.
Synchroneyes: We purchased this program in December. I love it. I can view and control every students screen, I can broadcast any students screen, I can show videos, I can block internet. I have control of the classroom and I can model work much easier.
Classblogmeister: David Warlick’s blog engine is a bit awkward to use but it is free and he is incredibly responsive when things go wrong. Kids write a lot!
iPod: Our district blocks podcasts and doesn’t allow iPods in school. I’m working on it…
teacherease.com : I use this for grading. Very easy to use and powerful. Students and parents have password access to grades and report.
