A Thin Line : www.athinline.org - 1 views

    I think the survey would be a great way to begin a conversation with students about online responsibility. I try to get my teachers to bring their classes to the lab for an intro. covering AUPs, procedures, handling of hardware, etc.. It's a hard sell but I continue to do it anyway.

Mary Blow: Netbooks in the Classroom | Classroom Solutions - 0 views

  •  
    Over the past month, I have been piloting a wireless portable computer cart in my classroom. There have been many hurdles along the way; however, empowering each student by giving them a computer has been enlightening and exhilarating. The rewards are well worth all the time and effort I have put into piloting them.

    Scott I have the directions for setting up Google for Educators on my personal server. I've held off until I can have a conversation with IT.

a best practice discussion on using pods - 4 views

  •  
    Suggestions to use active votes for more than low level multiple choice. Also read part 2: http://teacherleaders.typepad.com/the_tempered_radical/2009/11/part-2-using-student-responders-responsibly.html Of course, right now I'm focused on getting them registered and getting faculty trained in their use, so at this point I'm happy with any use. However in the near future I plan to squeeze as much as I can out of them!
  •  
    Great article !!! The best use of the clickers would be a combination of both 'low level' and higher order multiple choice questions. Always good to learn something new. Thanks .

Buffalo Public Schools - Teacher Pages - 4 views

  •  
    Buffalo City School District (BSCD) TIS Kathleen Emhof's teacher web page. The site is clean, efficient and provides or links to many staff resources. Three features really stand out . First the subpages under the section My Home Page are written in a conversational tone. I think that has an inviting appeal. Second is the use of the Calendar feature of the home page. This moves the lab scheduling off her shoulders and encourages the staff to plan and communicate with each other. Third and lastly, making all relevant itech forms available to the staff. I have just a few suggestions: - consider password protecting the teacher resources page - create separate student/parent resource section
  •  
    You can have the ultimate webpage, but the true end goal is getting teachers and others to use it. That takes a great deal of diplomacy. Hillary, are you listening?
  •  
    Ken, thank you for highlighting one of our colleagues pages. One of the areas I believe we must focus more on is improving teacher pages among the teachers (or just get them to start one!).

Virginia using iPads to teach social studies | Business News | eSchoolNews.com - 6 views

  •  
    Pearson loaded the social studies content on apps - this is crucial that content is available and students don't have to search too much.
  •  
    How many of our textbooks are able to be loaded on the ipad. Could this be a means of providing an ipad for every student with textbook costs?

    Rt - I took the "Day in the Life of a Gaggle Student" webinar. I later contacted the webinar team and asked for a copy of the presenter's notes. They sent a PDF "Getting Started with Apps Guide.pdf" highlighting the newest Gaggle Apps. I'll post it in our Google docs for you to take a look at. I'll email it to everyone but here is the link if you want to dive right in. https://docs.google.com/a/buffaloschools.org/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B_w6YKU5SNpCYzE4M2FiZjUtZjYzYy00MGUxLTg0NmEtZWRlZDYzOWFkOTYx&hl=en&authkey=CNOQkf8H
