  • 5. States & Capitals Type: Kidspiration Level: Fourth Grade Area: Social Studies Author: Marilyn Hlass, Special Ed - Hearing and Vision Impaired , mah2nc@viking.stark.k12.oh.us Description: As part of the fourth grade curriculum students are expected to learn the fifty states and their capital cities. This activity is a way to practice their knowledge about the states and their capitals.
  •  
    Using the diigo tool is a way to organize sites such as this one to be used in technology class. The 4th graders learn the states and capitals during social studies, and we can do activities during computer class that go along with this subject.

      I highlighted some of the ones that I looked into that seemed worthwhile for the kids. I haven't had time to look into all of them yet!
  •  
    Tons of links to technology resources.
  •  
    WOW, there are so many links on this page. This resource would be helpful for anyone who is interested in using technology in their classroom. I was most interested in the fact that some of the sites were already ear-marked for use with smart boards. Some of the sites were practice sites for kids to use at home. I will be adding those to my parent wiki once school starts.
  •  
    I am also very happy to see all the activities involving smart boards. Our district is purchasing them for many of our classrooms and I will share this resource with staff next month!

SchoolTube - 0 views

    This video-sharing site is for educational videos that students have created to teach something. It is similar to YouTube and TeacherTube. For those students who are interested in YouTube, this provides a safer area with the focus on education - could be very motivating for some. It lets students work on a group video as well as independent videos online with possibilities to comment and discuss. Teachers could use it to view what their actual teaching looks like as a way to increase their effectiveness in the classroom as a professional development activity. Has contests, tutorials, tips, and videos on increasing effectiveness in producing videos.

    As I was searching for some tools that I could post, I came across this website. I thought it looked interesting because it have some of the same tools we are using plus some others. As I looked a little deeper... WOW I have always wanted to go more indepth with my vocabulary that I teach, and if you teach vocab, you need to check out Vocabulary Activities. I wanted a way to present a new word and then show the students all the related forms with the same root. Visuwords (http://www.visuwords.com) does just that. I can use it; the students can use it. And it also breaks related words down by part of speech. There are so many other options a teacher could use.

Project Based Learning Step by Step Creation Guide - 2 views

  • Learn how to Design your Project. Plan rigorous and relevant standards-focused projects that engage students in authentic learning activities, teach 21st century skills, and demand demonstration of mastery.
  •  
    This is a site that provides step-by-step guidance on creating project-based learning units. It not only gives the rationale behind PBL as a unit design model, but also guides the user through each step of the creation process. It appears to be very easy to use, and provides information at each step that ensures a quality product. In addition to the very clear steps to take, as well as the 'theory' behind each step, there are numerous examples of completed PBL projects to view. I will use this site myself, as I really like the idea of redesigning portions of my instruction using this model. I will also direct teachers to it when we are discussing teaching strategies and instructional design models that are compatible with how the brain learns. The "briefs" and the literature reviews for each of the Characteristics of Effective Instruction (within the Iowa Core) contain numerous references to project/problem- based learning as an instructional design model that matches the vision of the Iowa Core.

  • "It's What's on the Inside That Counts!"
  • I am currently running a group for children with a loved one in jail. One of the activities I have facilitated with my group is the kiwi lesson.  The kiwi lesson can be used to address many different topics including stigma, shame, diversity, tolerance, body image, and more.  This lesson is fun and engaging. It worked especially well in the context of this group.

      Great lesson to use with a small group. Author uses for kids with parent in jail.
  •  
    I am always looking for ways to engage my students about guidance topics. I am looking for "real" conversation with them as opposed to hearing the answers they think you want to hear. The kiwi lesson described is one of those lessons that will provoke responses that are real.
