ISTE
For the second
consecutive year, yolink will be exhibiting at
the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) annual conference. This year, ISTE will be
held
in Denver, Colorado from June 27-30, 2010. ISTE focuses on improving
technology integration for both PK-12 institutions and teacher education
and will be hosting hundreds of sessions for over 18,000 educators,
administrators, and students from across the globe.
Last year,
yolink was touted
as 'the best new product from the outside aisle.' This
year, visit us in booth
2419. Where we are exhibiting with one of our integration partners, Sweet Search, and will be offering demos and tips on
using yolink. Stop
by and check out our latest updates, watch presentations by our featured
teachers, and also pick up a free digital copy of Creative Commons' new
search literacy curriculum for educators and students!
CLASSROOM 2.0
yolink was
recently featured in a webinar sponsored
by Classroom 2.0, a great social network for educators
interested
in learning more about new and emerging technologies. The session was
archived and you can view it here. Stay tuned for our own webinar series, which
is
scheduled to begin in August! |

Featured yolink User This month our featured yolink user is: Karen
Blumberg, Middle Division Educational Technology teacher at The School
at Columbia University. She will also be presenting lessons in our booth
at the ISTE 2010 conference.
Karen wrote about yolink and her experience on her blog. Here
are a few excerpts:
"These are a few of my favorite things about Yolink: - It mines any Google search-results page or any text-based site for specific key
words or phrases. As the Yolink evangelists put it, "It's like Google
with X-ray glasses!"
- It color codes
your search words so you can see which webpage includes which keywords
and visually scan your search results before even opening a page.
- It integrates seamlessly with Google
Docs, so that a whole page or only specific paragraphs can be
imported into a new Doc or an existing Doc. This is great for
note-taking... and it led to interesting discussions with some of my 6th
graders yesterday.
- Results can be
fed to EasyBib to create instant citations of websites found.
- Yolink results can also be fed to Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, Diigo, Blogger, Wordpress, Evernote, and Email to archive and share your results."
Read all of Karen's thoughts on education technology and
yolink on her blog.
We are so excited to have Karen and other great teacher presenters help
us out at ISTE this year. Stop by to meet Karen and experience yolink
for yourself. |
