The Best Sources For Advice On Using Flip Video Cameras | Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of ... - 4 views

  • There’s a good video on YouTube on How To Use A Flip Video Camera. How To Us A Flip Camera is a simple guide with screenshots. David Pogue of the New York Times has a good review/description on using a Flip, and also has a video. Here are some tips on how to edit your videos after you’ve shot them. Here are some places to get ideas and tips on using them with students: Thirty-Nine Interesting Ways* to use your Pocket Video Camera in the Classroom is a great online presentation from Tom Barrett. 7 Things You Should Know About Flip Camcorders is a good overview on using them in education. Classroom 2.0 has a good discussion on its Forum about using Flips. I believe you can access it without being a member but, if not, it’s free and easy to join. Richard Byrne has started a collaborative project with teachers sharing Many Ways to Use Flip Video Cameras in the Classroom.

Technology Integration Matrix - 4 views

  •  
    Would love to get a group of classroom teachers together to have them go through these one by one and color in their matrix. Red for not there, Yellow for could see this done but have not, Green for is happening in my classroom. Maybe some in between colors to signal would like to see this taught on how to do. Then have Administration do it and then let them see the results from the teachers. Maybe that could help us find a direction that would best help us integrate with a buy-in factor.

    Smart mobs...the power of groups to tag and share information
  •  
    Ah! You've been doing your homework young Jedi! Do we want to apply "some structure" for example ELA8_xxx; use the more popular tags that are recommended when creating a post, or do we let it all evolve?
  •  
    I tend to use the tags that are provided when I tag in Diigo. Is there something I am missing by not evolving our own tags?
  •  
    "I tend to use the tags that are provided when I tag in Diigo. Is there something I am missing by not evolving our own tags?" Oh, no not at all. I was thinking down the road when we get teachers hooked on Diigo. Let's say Teacher A wanted to search through his schools' group for ELA content. If the group added ELA_ or Gr8_ as a prefix that might simplify his search. So, in this scenario the provided tags would serve as a base and the prefixes would allow for faster more refined or focused searches.

AirSet - cloud computers for groups - 2 views

  •  
    I used AirSet cloud computing in the past with the staffs of Schools #65 and #95. The primary reason was to create a shared calendar. It worked really well in both locations mostly because they were only asked to use the calendar feature. More advance/adventurous users took advantage of the other apps including text messaging, file storage and sharing, committee to do lists, and iCal integration. It has changed quite a bit since then.

Copy / Paste by Peter Pappas: How to Teach Summarizing: A Critical Learning Skill for S... - 4 views

  •  
    Nice artice that brings insight on how to work through levels of cognition for students. So many of them cannot summarize, because, for the most part, teachers may not be using the best techniques to elicit good responses.
  •  
    While it may be true that teachers may not use the best techniques, summarizing is a difficult skill to teach in and of itself.Most students will equate summarizing with " giving a book report" and misconstrue what summarizing truly entails. Having students sift through details and information to arrive at "the important details" is a continuous cognitive process that children reach at different levels at different times in their cognitive development which is one reason why I think this skill is so difficult to teach.

The Site for Books & Readers - Shelfari - 4 views

  •  
    A powerful tool for students. Shelfari integrates reading and social networking. Readers list books they have read, are reading, or want to read "my wish list" - can you say reading logs? The members home page can be configured to look like virtual book shelves. Members can read and post reviews; join groups and communities. In my opinion the ultimate use for shelfari would be creating book clubs, making it a quick comprehension tool.
  •  
    I am glad this site was useful to you.When I found this site, I thought it was such a great alternative to the standard book report that I dreaded as a child. I will be meeting with some teachers to see if this meets their needs in terms of reading logs. I hope so. This is the direction we should be heading. On line reading logs. Yes !!!!

The Electric Educator: Google-Proof Questioning: A New Use for Bloom's Taxonomy - 0 views

    "So, what is a "Google-proof question?" It is a question that can not be directly answered via Google (or any other search engine) because it requires, analysis, interpretation, and investigation. Writing such questions can be challenging. A helpful tool is Bloom's Taxonomy. "
