  • First, there is Laura's understanding of how kids learn technology. Before they start this project, she exposes them to Google Docs and lets them explore the program. It didn't take long for the kids to of course find the chat feature in Google Docs. For some teachers, this would have been a reason to stop using Google Docs, for others like Laura, it was a teaching opportunity and a chance to use it for learning. A quick call to the carpet, the class talked about the chat. Why did Google put it there? How would you use it? What would you say? And off they go again exploring the program.

  • Google Doc Templates for "Student Newspaper."
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Yes, they were all in the same room but what a great way to start teaching "chat etiquette" in an environment that could be monitored by a teacher.
  • Next it was time to find pictures. A lesson on Creative Commons and using compfight and the kids were off to find pictures for their articles. Another lesson on citation/attribution 
  • She combines them into one PDF and uploads them to Youblisher to create their online Newspaper

    Perfect timing Tracy! My class is creating magazines this week with their own personal covers, but the inside articles will be created by all. I think the template will be perfect.

    Chat with people who are passionate about education.  Keep in mind the pre-set times are just to discuss a single topic. Lively discussions appear at all sorts of times during the day.  People use the hashtag to share links or their latest blog post.

    6th grade teachers (and whomever else wants to join) chat about learning. During discussion they decided to visit each others blogs to give feedback on blog. If interested sign up on wiki (see @mr_avery). All you need to do is visit other blogs too because they want to hear your opinion too. PS Loved seeing one of our AJUSD peeps involved. =)

    You sign up, ask your students to find some bugs, and mail them to us. We accept your application, schedule your session, and prepare the bugs for insertion into the electron microscope. When your session time arrives, we put the bug(s) into the microscope and set it up for your classroom. Then you and your students login over the web and control the microscope. We'll be there via chat to guide you and answer the kids' questions. The proposal was to participatein the Beckman Institute's Bugscope, http://bugscope.beckman.illinois.edu, a free educationaltechnology outreach project, whichenables kindergarten to 12th grade (K-12)and undergraduate students and teachers toremotely access and control the microscopein real time from their classroom computers.

    K-12 FREE Opportunity: If your students investigate bugs, use a microscope, need an authentic purpose for research, I'd like to suggest partnering with Bugscope. You get to collaborate with expert scientists to explore bugs (i.e. looking at a bug's tongue). You would do this all via the internet. It looks amazing! Below is a response from them, with an attachment.  A news-release summarizes a history of Bugscope (http://www.aaas.org/news/releases/2011/0729sp_spore.shtml). Bugscope allows teachers everywhere to provide students with the opportunity to become microscopists themselves-the kids propose experiments, explore insect specimens at high-magnification, and discuss what they see with our scientists-all from a regular web browser over a standard broadband internet connection. You sign up, ask your students to find some bugs, and mail them to us. We accept your application, schedule your session, and prepare the bugs for insertion into the electron microscope. When your session time arrives, we put the bug(s) into the microscope and set it up for your classroom. Then you and your students login over the web and control the microscope. We'll be there via chat to guide you and answer the kids' questions. If you would like to see the response from one class who have done this, read Mrs. Krebs' blog post: http://krebs.edublogs.org/2011/09/04/bugscope-session/  If you need any help with this, just let me know. If you end up taking them up on this FREE collaboration, please let me know when/where so I can drop by. This looks fascinating! Kind regards,Tracy

  • Tracy Watanabe on 17 Jun 11
     
    This is mainly for 6th grade teachers, but anyone can join (I did). Fabulous conversations and sharing of ideas. It's a great way to grown your PLN too. Thursdays from 5-6pm on Twitter following the #6thchat (I personally find it easier to follow list conversations on TweetDeck and/or Hootsuite than on Twitter).
