    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.

    This website has research-based practices and translates it into practical tools to improve classroom instruction. You can learn what works, understand the research, see what works, see it actually in action many times in the classroom through video, and do what works, download tools that can support the work. This is an awesome sight for educators! This site has many things that teachers could use to learn about and hone in on their instructional practices. It is a great springboard for learning and then using some web 2.0 tools to provide opportunities to collaborate with teachers either within their districts or in other districts would be a powerful learning tool.

      This site is a great resource for teachers and students. It is easy to navigate and new concepts are always linked to review as you go along. It has been great for differentiating in the classroom.

    Helping you use the internet effectively. Tutorials, assessments, learning and practice assignments for k-12 covering many curriculum areas using the internet. This site has helped me in differentiating my instruction to the many ability levels in my class. Students can start at the very beginning or start with a more advanced assignment. A lot like Atomic Learning, it uses a show, tell, and try it method of instruction along with links to go back and review a concept if you forget.

  • "PowerPoint is a high-powered software tool used for presenting information in a dynamic slide show format. Text, charts, graphs, sound effects and video are just some of the elements PowerPoint can incorporate into your presentations with ease. Whether it's a classroom lesson, a parents' group meeting, a teachers' seminar or an unattended kiosk at the Science Fair - PowerPoint shows you how to make a powerful impression on your audience."
  • Teachers can use presentation software to create and organize effective presentations for small groups, entire classes, and web-based viewing. PowerPoint presentations may contain graphics, digital photos, animations and sound.
  • Students may use presentation software to create presentations that demonstrate what they have learned in a given subject area or to showcase the findings of a research assignment. Presentations are also ideal for capturing the learning process over a period of time. Further, if students can capture the steps of their learning through digital photography, these types of images can be used in a slide show as well.

      Seems like a neat tool to use in a classroom. Student could create their presentations and use their own voices to narrate. Since it is online with many ways to add comments, it could be used anywhere, not have to be done in school. I'm not sure about the K-12 edu voice. It seems like a nice thing to have, but it does have a subscription cost.

    Create multi-media slide shows that contain images, documents, and video. Comments can be left on each slide in 5 different ways. his could be use with students to create all kinds of presentations and ways to display their learning. They could video tape a science lab and then use this to narrate their learning as they go through the video. Teachers could use this tool to video their classroom and then collaborate with one another using this tool. The collaboration could take place with teacher from different districts, states, even countries.

      These have uses as we think about the 21st Century learners. Right away it makes me think of financial literacy.
  • Kim Swartz on 13 Jul 10
     
    This site has quick videos (around three minutes or less) that explain things in very simple terms. They use paper cut outs as they explain about technology, money, etc. I know that Barb has used these in our class. I didn't realize there were so many. When I looked at some of them, I thought about the 21st Century learner and how teachers might use these videos with students to help them learn about finances. They can be used personally for free or professionally for a fee. Teachers would have to be careful not to infringe on copyright issues, but this would be a nice way to introduce many concepts to students.
  • Julie Crotty on 15 Jul 10
     
    I love the Common Craft products, too! Every time I watch one of the videos, I'm amazed at the clarity of the explanation! They are able to take very complex tools, and make them seem simple. I think one of the best things about this is that they provide a "conceptual" look at the tool, rather than simply a "how to use it" video. For me, I often find myself experimenting with how to use a tool, before I really even understand conceptually what the tool is and what it can do! (A clear example of the many times when I don't know what I don't know!) This Common Craft site is one that I will bookmark, and return to often.

    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.

  • “That’s the most exciting part for me, seeing kids excited about reading,” says Hamilton, who launched her program in November 2010 after learning about librarian Kathy Parker’s Kindle project at Seneca (IL) Grade School. “If we can spark or enhance that existing passion, that’s really what this is all about. It gives us another way to fuel the love of reading, while creating another way to learn and have fun. And that’s well worth the investment.”

      This is an interesting way to look at e-readers. We as librarians should always be looking for ways to encourage reading. The question becomes how difficult it might be to fund such a project. Several of my students have e-readers, but since they are all different it is hard to buy books that fit all formats. This is definitely a trend teacher librarians need to keep an eye on.

    This article discusses school libraries who are getting grants or finding other ways of purchasing e-readers.
