Created this wiki page in response to a request for support materials for learning about continents in a grade 4/5 classroom.

Wiki I created to document what's happening as I work with a group of grade 8 teachers who want to help students acquire more tools and skills (both high and low tech) for use in high school.

Wiki page on Food Chains I created for a grade 4/5 class. Includes a Sqworl page of student activities.

This wiki was created by a Cowichan teacher, Elaine Nessman, to host primary resources for the SMARTBoards. Includes Notebook lessons and links to her Delicious site.

Search Wiki for kids featuring only safe filtered Wikipedia articles (Simple Edition).

Wiki page I created for grades 3-5.

Wiki page I created with links about Canada's Fur Trade suitable for both intermediate and high school.

This is the wiki from the iPad apps session I just attended at CSUN 2011. Great info about good apps for accessibility and great hands-on workshop. They have videos and .pdfs on their site.

Amazing resource for educators. Each category (blogging, wikis, social bookmarking etc…) has 5 recommended tools highlighted to try out first. Great place for educators to start learning a new tool.

This wiki documents work I'm doing with students/teachers in Prince Rupert at the Middle School Level. They requested tutorials more suitable for students so we met to decide the "basics" that would be covered. The teachers wanted simple 1-page handouts that they could use to introduce just one skill at a time in small amounts of classroom time or to mix and match for longer sessions.

Many great science sites.

Awesome...can't believe someone has put something like this together already!

SET-BC consultant Maureen LaFleche has put together a wiki about a UDL approach to To Kill a Mockingbird. This is a great template to use for any UDL novel study. Maureen will be presenting at our January 8, 2009 Breeze meeting.

This became my 500th bookmark on Diigo thanks to Jim Batchel. If you are trying to figure out whether blogs/wikis/ning is better for your students, it looks like you can have it all and more at ThinkQuest! You need an account to sign in but under the Projects tab you can look at some public video tours of its features. ThinkQuest is a protected, online learning platform that enables teachers to integrate learning projects into their classroom curriculum and students to develop critical 21st century skills. It includes a project environment where teachers and students engage in collaborative learning; a competition space where students participate in website development contests; and the award-winning ThinkQuest library, a learning resource visited by millions.

Awesome free site creates embed code that you can use to embed documents or videos on your wiki or website. Very cool because once embedded you can scroll or enlarge sections of the document.

Maureen found this great site that provides summaries of many books and novels.

Scratch cards provide a quick way to learn new Scratch code. The front of the card shows what you can do; the back shows how to do it. Click to view and print each card.

This is such a good idea. I would love to make Kurzweil trading cards along these lines. In my spare time...

This is SET-BC consultant Paul Hamilton's list of udl resources. These are mostly free applications such as text readers and digital story-telling resources that are a good fit with udl principles.

Unbelievable collection of resources...audio books, etext, and subject related categories such as graphing tools, classroom organizers, etc.
