    Great blog to follow for Kinder-2nd teachers esp for ELA "Teach the writer, not the writing. Teach the reader, not the reading. We have conversations with our students about their reading and writing to teach the child." "Deb is a literacy consultant and an author. She post writing lessons and reading lessons frequently."

    Create a digital poster or movie using collected images and documents from the National Archives. All of the images are there for you to search, save a collection, read brief descriptions about each image, and use your collection to create a movie. Great if you teach social studies, have students read historical fiction or teach science history.

    Would be great to use to build background for students when reading historical fiction, incorporating nonfiction text, teaching science history, or social studies.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Learning Maths with 4KM and 4KJ Posted by Mrs Kathleen Morris on Friday, September 21st 2012      We were recently inspired by the work of our blogging buddies in B4. These students from New Zealand made some maths videos with their teacher, Mrs McKenzie. When 4KM and 4KJ saw the videos they decided they’d like to make their own. All of the students chose a topic that we had covered this term in our maths classes. We came up with some tips for making a maths video that teaches the audience something. Some of our tips were: I

How to Teach Internet Safety to Younger Elementary Students | Edutopia - 0 views

internetsafety internet safety elementary

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 14 Jun 12 - No Cached
  • There are three considerations when addressing Internet safety with these students. First, the transfer of handling strangers in "real life" to those in virtual environments is not automatic. It needs to be taught. Second, while most "Stranger Danger" programs teach that strangers are scary, mean and want to hurt or abduct children, this contradicts the way collaboration occurs between strangers online. Not all strangers are dangerous. Lastly, in "real life," students can walk or run away from a potential threat. In an online environment, the danger is inside a student's home and hard to escape without the necessary skills for handling tough situations. This is a lesson that I have done with my kindergarten and first grade students to introduce the idea that strangers exist on the Internet and to discuss how we should interact with them.

    There are online games for different ages, with the youngest at 7 years old. -------------------- The initial flash presentation gives some background to Cyberbullying. We used this successfully at the SITE.org conference and educators and students liked it a lot. This is a game format to teach the ideas of Cyberbullying. Go past the flash presentation to get even more information. Parry Aftab is a lawyer who is working with educators like me who have a concern that Cyberbullying is a stop sign to the use of the Internet. We created a workshop to share posters, and other resources for the SITE Conference. Bonnie Bracey Sutton Power of Us SiG Chair Digital Equity and Social Justice , SITE

    The following quote is from Teaching Generation Now techtoolsforteachers@gmail.com -- Sign up for their newsletter (and view archives) for more tips on how to use Scrublr (and many other tech tools) "Scrumblr is a free online tool that allows you to create a virtual whiteboard. This whiteboard can be accessed from multiple computers and used as a collaborative space for education. We like scrumblr because: ● it is free and extremely easy to use. ● no sign up is needed to create and collaborate on a scrumblr board ● only people with the URL link that you create can access the scrumblr. ● it has no ads. ● it provides the opportunity for students to be active in their learning, reflect, clarify, stay focussed and learn from one another. ● it lets participants be anonymous. ● it allows for students from all over the world to work together. ● it allows you to customise the name and setup of the scrumblr ● it has many uses across all age groups and subject areas. ● it allows for students who don't normally speak up in class to be involved in conversations about their learning"

  • What it is:  ScootPad is a really neat site that recognize that no two students are alike and that they will master skills in different ways.  ScootPad helps students gain mastery through gradual and thorough practice that is personalized to teach the student.  This personalized practice helps build confidence in learning and keeps students moving forward at a pace that is appropriate to them.  Students can expect a fun learning environment.  Teachers can expect automated practice, real-time progress tracking and assessments that will help you to formulate next steps for students. All curriculum is based on Common Core Standards, including math and English/language arts for k-5 classrooms.  For students in kindergarten or first grade, there is a voice/read-aloud feature.
  • Best of all…ScootPad is FREE!

Activity 7: Fair use, copyright, and introduction to using images | Teacher Challenge - 0 views

  • Introduction to copyright, fair use and using images in blog posts You can’t just use any image you like in a blog post. Why?  Because unless stated otherwise, the law automatically grants full “copyright” over any creative work a person makes.
  • I’m sure you’re probably thinking it is okay because as educators, we have a few more flexible rules, called “Fair Use”, to play by.  Fair use, in some cases, if an image, text, video, etc. is being used for educational purposes, means you may have more flexible copyright rules. The trouble is, most of the laws and rules that cover fair use and education were written well before the invention of the web.  They don’t apply to use of copyright material on the Internet.  Using copyright material leaves you open to copyright infringement. So what does this mean? You need to: Learn what images you are and aren’t allowed to use, and why. Learn how to attribute images you are allowed to use. Educate your students that you can’t just use any images off the Internet in their blog posts, show them how to source and attribute images they are allowed to use. Understanding digital copyright is an essential skill we need to understand and teach our students.  This post focuses on use of images.
