We are going on a field trip on 10/ 8. Each student will have a digital camera/video camera to take pictures on the trip. When they return they will need to answer three of the index cards and create their own glog with their own text/pictures and videos. Great way to followup a field trip!

Love this! I also love how kids will have cameras and be taking their own pictures. What kind of cameras are they using?

I have a class set of Bean Sprout and Cabinar camera's so each student has one to take digital pictures. I also have 13 GFM DV-150's which students pair up to take videos and digital pictures. The first field trip was quite a success using this assignment. My students were engaged and asked very pointed questions. The tour guide commented how well prepared they seemed, and how great their questions were. I plan on doing the same type of assignment when we go to the Natural History Museum next month.

The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students.

Glog created about why our students need integrated technology

The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.

Great comparison chart

Love the quote from a Twitter feed I received today, "Easier to change how we teach than to change the way students learn"

This video speaks to the idea from our face to face meeting in session 3 that the world of tomorrow will demand different job skills than what we are teaching students in school today.

A teacher describes some ways he uses Diigo with his classes

Using Pebble Go with first graders.  Students worked in the lab and also in the classroom using a laptop cart.

This site provides an array of virtual manipulative that you can use on your promethean and your students can use on their own as well. It provides resources for multiple grade levels.

cool site to develop discussion groups among students

research to suggest that students with autism learn best with visual strategies +computer technology

A look at the assumptions stopping schools from using technology.

Very powerful video. I have been making arguments against many of those assumptions for years:)

I have also been fighting such assumptions since I started teaching in order to get the technology into my classroom to benefit my students.

Examples of how 21st century learning will better prepare students for the future they'll encounter when they leave school.

Supports Session 3

Framework to match readers with texts. Use personally or teach students to use as well.

This is an example of a traditional lesson that I added technology to very easily. The lesson plan is in the attachments. My class went through the writing process to create their New Year's resolutions. When they finished their traditional "stepping into New Year's" bulletin board activity, we then digitally captured their voices in Audacity. Students then created their own Resolution Page in Glogster.edu.

great interactive site for children's stories

Nice site. The narration is a bit slow for my taste, but that makes it all the better for some of our students. There is lots of control, like turning highlighting and animation on and off. You can have the book advance automatically. You can go forward and backwards in the book.
