Thinglink Ends connections research

shared by Lauren Parren on 21 Sep 14 - No Cached

Makes connections between topics. Ultimately it is a book store, but it might be incredibly useful in research to expand thinking on different topics. It has a wealth of videos (free) but it is the connections it draws between topics that is so fascinating.

A white paper from a conference in 2010. It neatly summarizes some of the key considerations for personalizing learning. It will probably be most useful for framing conversations for change in our district rather than acting as a blueprint.

The truth is, if you want a decent job that will lead to a decent life today you have to work harder, regularly reinvent yourself, obtain at least some form of postsecondary education, make sure that you’re engaged in lifelong learning and play by the rules. That’s not a bumper sticker, but we terribly mislead people by saying otherwise.

You can keep the pace moving in class with this timer. If you have students sharing in rapid succession, you don't need to re-set the timer, for example. You can jazz it up by adding theme music or videos. Handy tool to manage the class and look pretty cool! Thanks to Richard Byrne.
