Too cool for words

From the NY Times, this site provides school news, data and conversations about NYC schools.

Collection of presidential campaign ads and teacher resources/lessons that are aligned to NYC and NYS standards.

Definitely a "re-think-it" for teachers.

This looks an excellent project that could fit perfectly into the NY CL curriculum.

This is a great example of how you can use Voicethread and Wordle to create a simple project on the topic of digital citizenship. I think the student and teacher could dig a lot deeper, but I really like the concept. This is perfect for NY CL.

I had to post this. Do you think the NY Times will be covering this story?

I'm still for balance but I would love to be in Disney World for the Scholar Games in January. I could bring back the information and share it with everyone!!

I found this resource and thought I should share it because it is a free resource for NYS educators. You can test drive the site before joining. It is a collection of video tutorials and lessons by teachers that cover Pre-k - high school curricula that also allows you to organize and share resources.

I see this as an excellent project idea for all NY CL schools and beyond.

Interesting resource developed by a library media specialist that supports standard alignment with CCSS, NYS Standards and the ISTE NEts.

This video documents an excellent example of how students and teachers at the iSchool are taking their learning beyond the 4-walls of the classroom.

TCETC 2011 will take place on Saturday, May 21st, and Sunday, May 22nd at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, NY. This conference will serve as a multi-disciplinary forum for graduate students to discuss and exchange information on the research, development and applications of emerging technologies in PK-12 classrooms, at home environments and afterschool programs, distance learning settings, higher education, and corporate learning environments.

This site is designed to support New York teachers, principals, administrators and Network Teams in rolling out the Common Core State Standards.

The purpose of the New York State Education Department's Virtual Learning System is to encourage the use of the Internet as a tool for teaching and learning and to assist classroom teachers in locating Internet resources for instruction. VLS offers the full text of New York State's learning standards with their key ideas and performance indicators, as well as alternate performance indicators for students with severe disabilities.

This is a New Tech Network school that is supposed to be one of the best in terms of whole-school integration of project-based learning in a one-to-one environment.
