    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.

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.

Web Quest Maker - 1 views

  • 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.

Moodle - 1 views

  •  
    This class has been my first experience with Moodle, and I'm loving it! Just a few years back, I would have been the first to argue that an on-line class could NEVER be as effective as a face to face class. I'm eating my words, now! Not only am I finding Moodle to be a very effective "container" for a class, but I'm even thinking that in several ways, the on-line experience is better than the face to face would be. I really want to explore this site further, and learn for myself how to use Moodle to deliver class content in an on-line environment, rather than a face to face environment.
  •  
    Julie, I have been thinking many of the same things. As a staff, we were introduced to Moodle several years ago. However, with very little instruction on how to do it, it didn't go very far. I too LOVE the idea of using moodle as the 'container." I have often thought that if we did the "dirty work" in the classroom - like the reading, the researching, etc, then the students could go home and do the fun stuff - like commenting in a blog. Would that not seem like homework? Thanks for thinking the same things.
