This site was really interesting to me. It is kind of focused on older students, however there is also a k-3 section. I played some of the games and looked at the different subjects. It is a fun new age learning site. I think its important for the kids to be motivated to learn more and when you have interesting sites like this that kids enjoy it makes it easier for the information to stick.

1-to-1 benefit budget initiative laptop learning program students

I've been getting this question a lot lately from administrators, parents, and taxpayers. The question isn't malicious, but rather comes from folks with a vested interest in making sure that our technology dollars directly benefit students. Does giving teachers laptops directly benefit students? For people who aren't actively teaching in a classroom, that's a hard question to answer. I don't think it's very hard for teachers to answer the question, though, especially at the secondary level. For most people entering the business world, there is no question that they will have a computer on their desk when they are hired. It might be a laptop, a desktop, a shared desktop facilitated with some sort of flextime arrangement, or even a computer allowance so that the new hire can buy a machine that makes them the most productive. However, it's not terribly likely that they'll just be handed a dry erase marker and a whiteboard, pointed towards a copy machine, and told to go for it.

Activities: Students research and construct a time line that stars from the middle of the 19th century and projects into to the near future. Appropriate pictures will be drawn or placed on the time line to help emphasize historical facts that include scientific discoveries, industrial applications, and current events that may be related.

  This activity might be best in small groups. It will give an opportunity for diverse learners to succeed and express their views in a non-threatening environment.

  These ideas are so inclussive. This particular excercise has the potential to minimize the negative leveling from peers.

The idea of this site is to provide a central location for “how to” guides so that you can start building your own PLN

  I am amazed at how much I have already learned in a month. Kimberly won't always be our instructor, but hopefully we will know where to find technological help from now on.

  Creating a connection with our students should be a main priority. Furthermore, class blogs will provide a safe environment for our students to ask questions and take advantage of technology

  I really think this looks like a good idea especially at BYU since youtube is blocked this was you could show things that you post, with out the possibility of them being blocked.

I want to add this bookmark to my page because it is a learning network created to bring teachers ideas together. It is like youtube but instead it contains videos on lesson plans, teaching strategies, and current events all relevant to teachers.

I took the time to go through this site and play around with the topics and terms. I actually heard about this because my younger brothers use it in school. I think it can be a very useful tool to help students study for tests. I would definitely use it as a study reference for them.
