    Language Arts Journal Writing. Classroom newspapers. Autobiographies.Insert student photos in a biographical poem. A great way to start off the year and get to know your students. Demonstrate vocabulary, emotions, compare/contrast. Use a photo as a prompt for narrative or descriptive writing. Students take pictures of each other and import them into a word processing document for an "About the Author" page in a student anthology. .Use the digital camera to take photos of students then incorporate the photos into interviews written by other students in the class. (Students are assigned someone to interview and write about.)

      Check out the lessons about note duration and trainers for notes. Could be very useful with upper elementary and middle level students.
  • A downloadable offline edition is also available.

    Has some very good lessons on note duration, meters in music, and drills under "trainer" to help students learn notes.
  • Arkay Brown on 06 Feb 10
     
    This is a great tool to use with music students of all ages. There are many written trainers (notes, guitar, piano, scales, etc.) and ear trainers (scales, intervals, triads, chords). I use it in class with my high school music theory students (particularly for ear training), and they can access it anywhere to practice.

  • ISE is a nonprofit organization that has inspired teachers and students through culture and language immersion programs for nearly 40 years. Our one-of-a-kind educational travel programs combine sightseeing with an authentic family stay.

    This is the organization I use to travel overseas with my students. It has a family stay component that other organizations do not have. Great group to work with.

      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.

    This would be a fun resource for students for something like writing an article or book summary. They can write a very succinct "newspaper" article, save the resulting image, and then students can read summaries written by classmates.

  • ordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
  • Virginia Lake on 18 Jul 10
     
    I know that this isn't the newest Web 2.0 tool, but I love it. I can see using this with older students to create a autobiographical image of themselves. Students could also create a Wordle for their favorite poem or a series of quotes. At a conference someone did a wordle for their library mission statement.

    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.

  • A Web Quest is a method used to engage students in inquiry based learning. A web quest is meant to guide students through a process of inquiry through a set of assigned tasks that lead them to a conclusion, or that results in a product.

    Web quest generator allows teachers to create their own webquest tailored a specific lesson. I often use pre-made quests, but see a value in making my own to complement a lesson and emphasize components of that lesson that I feel my students need most.

  • We believe that everyone should have the same opportunity to learn. The best way to make this possible, we believe, is to organize into one, super directory the hundreds of thousands of good videos currently available on the Internet. To make this a reality, we invite teachers, instructors and educators to suggest videos for inclusion into our directory, and then to review, approve, and assign those videos into appropriate categories using a wiki framework and philosophy. The videos are the highest quality found on the World Wide Web, cover all major educational topics from elementary to secondary schools (or age range 1 – 18), and are Kid Safe!

      This is a great site that provides videos for educators to use in their classrooms. It's organized in a wiki framework so that all types of educators can collaborate in order to provide great tools for students. I encourage my teachers to search for videos they can use in their classroom as well as to share videos they have created.
  • Megan Andersen on 18 Apr 11
     
    This web site helps teachers and students find valuable, educational videos from You Tube, Teacher Tube, and other places online. There is an advisory committee that chooses which videos are appropriate for the site and each video is tagged with an age appropriate label. You can search by subject area or a keyword search.

    This website provides tutorials for students, parents, and teachers to teach math skills.

They could also assist parents with homework completion and retaining math skills over the summer time.

    Read the highlighted sections of this report. Research is finding the connection between neuroscience and education that can benefit student learning. THis research suggests students with dyslexia who utilize their right brain tendencies (which suggests to me the creative side of the brain) can make improvements in comprehension. I would like to read more studies on this effect!

    A webiste designed for students, parents, teachers and others who work with students with special needs. The website is designed to provide a road map for transition planning from MS to HS, HS to college, work and or living on their own. The site includes on link to college planning tools, financial aid applications, career exploration including interest inventories, information on disability disclosure, Iowa Department of Special Education, Iowa Compass (a statewide information source for referral services). There are actitivities geared for students as well as adults. I use this site often in my work when working with students ages 13 and up and also, their parents. It provides a foundational understanding about transition and the reasons why we need to plan early and often in preparation for life after the educational services end.

  • "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.
