My name is Harry Grover Tuttle. I have been a technology integration teacher and a district wide coordinator of technology. In addition, I’ve taught Spanish, English, and English as Second Language.  I’ve been in  Syracuse University’s School of Education where I have worked with electronic portfolios, taught courses such as “Integrating Technology Through Data Driven Decision Making,”taught education courses, and worked with public school teachers in integrating technology.  I now adjunct teach Writing, Critical Thinking, and Oral Presentations.  I have had the honor of being the president of ISTE’s Tech Cordinators SIG and of New York State Association for Computers and Technology in Education (NYSCATE). I enjoy presenting at national conferences such as NECC and Tech Forum. My major interest is improving student learning  and within that area I focus on: formative assessment;  technology; 21st century skills; language development; videoconferencing; and global education. My recent book is Formative Assessment: Responding to Your Students which is available through Eye-on-Education. I am fortunate to write columns for Hot Chalk and for Wiggins’ Big Idea website.  I can be reached at htuttlebs at gmail

  • Social Networking May Not be Productive December 9, 2009
    As I was out for my walk, I turned a corner and ended up behind a garbage truck (not a good idea). I watched as the man on the back who was emptying the garbage cans was talking on his cell phone.  He held the phone with one hand and emptied the garbage can bag [...]

  • Kiva – A Great Classroom Web 2.0 Tool and a Great Holiday Gift December 5, 2009
    Kiva is a micro-lending site ($25 and up) that loans money to low income entrepreneur.  The loans general last 6-12 months so that a class can make a loan and then trace its history of repayment. The site has a 96% repayment. The lender can select the gender, the  continent and the area of the loan [...]

  • Do We Know the Students’ Exact Progress in the Learning Standards At Any Moment? November 17, 2009
    Every teacher should know at any given moment where their students stand in regard to state standards, state assessments, or even the “final”. We need to focus on our students’ learning progress and how we can help the students to improve from where they are to where we expect them to be. Waiting until the [...]

  • Assess students’ academic learning, not Web 2.0 technology November 12, 2009
    I thought that we have moved beyond focusing on the technology to focusing on student academic learning.  I thought that back in the 90s.  However, I find evidence even today that technology still has become the true focus rather than student academic learning.  Whenever I look at the rubrics for an Web 2.0 tool, I [...]

  • Wiki- Collaborative Notes Instead of Individual Ones November 8, 2009
    My classes use a wiki.  If the classes are sections of the same course, they share the same wiki. For example, my 8, 9 and 12:30 classes are all Writing and Research so I group them together on the wiki.  I  have been having students from each class take class notes and post them to [...]

  • Assessing Learning with Web 2.0: Social Bookmarking November 1, 2009
    I was talking to  teacher who was so proud of the social bookmarking his students had done. They had collected over 60 links about the topic they were studying. I asked him if they had agreed on what tags they were going to use; he said that they used whatever tag they wanted.  Next,  I [...]

  • Build a real class learning community October 30, 2009
    Teachers can create a class community such as everyone knowing two things about everyone else in the class without having a learning community where students continually work together to better each other.   Likewise, teachers can have students work together (Student A does this/ student B does that….) without really collaborating (interacting and chan […]

  • Show your students their success October 25, 2009
    When students receive a “C” on an assignment and then an “B” on the next, they know that their grade went up but they do not usually know why. And they probably do not know what new skill or strategy they need to move up to an “A”. An alternative approach is to use a learning [...]

  • Let’s Hear it for the Power of Technology! LOL! October 22, 2009
    I know of a person who does not have any technology in his room accept for a 70s looking overhead.  One day he decided to walk around  his institute and see how the teachers who had technology in their room was using it.  9/10 rooms were using the “elmo” type device to show a handout, [...]

  • Continuous Assessment October 15, 2009
    The British have used the term continuous assessment or assessment for learning for many years.  I like the term continuous assessment since it implies that students are continually being monitored and given feedback to improve. Continuous assessment differs from the “unit” test or “every five week” tests that do not provide feedback […]
