  • First… lets take a look at the free  (or almost free) resources provided below
  • 1. Khan Academy As the site states… watch, practice… learn almost anything. There are over 3,100 videos in multiple STEM areas
  • You also may wish to look for videos or activities using the Common Core at any level of math by exploring Khan’s Common Core Page.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • 2. MIT Blossoms BLOSSOMS video lessons are enriching students’ learning experiences in high school classrooms for students across the globe. This amazing video library contains over 50 math and science lessons, all freely available to teachers as streaming video and Internet downloads and as DVDs and videotapes
  • The lessons intersperse video instruction with planned exercises that engage students in problem solving and critical thinking, helping students build the kind of gut knowledge that comes from hands-on experience. By guiding students through activities from beginning to end, BLOSSOMS lessons give students a sense of accomplishment and excitement. You can even check these lessons out by standards.
  • 3. Curriki  This is the community of K12 open resources. Currently Curriki has 6.5 million users and contains over 40,000 K12 free learning resources
  • 4. NROCK The National Repository of Online Courses (NROC) is a growing library of high-quality online course content for students and faculty in higher education, high school and Advanced Placement
  • 5. HippoCampus This amazing resource claims to be teaching with the power of media. HippoCampus is a project of the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education (MITE)
  • 6. WikiBooks Welcome to a collection of open-content textbooks collection that anyone can edit. The Wikibooks collection currently contains 2,443 books with 40,980 pages.
  • 7. CK12 Interactive Book I bring this amazing resource up because it is a a relatively new initiative. The community at CK12 Flexbooks and Wolfram Alpha have combined efforts to bring you this awesome Interactive Algebra Book. 
  • 8. Flexbooks I did include this in the last post but wanted to make sure it was added to the list. So… what is a FlexBook?  They may be best described as customizable, standards-aligned, free digital textbooks for K-12 education. FlexBooks are customizable textbooks that teachers can use online,via  flash drives, CD’s, or as printed books.
  • Wikijunior books are produced by a worldwide community of writers, teachers, students, and young people all working together
  • You may also wish to explore Wikijunior, a project  to produce age-appropriate non-fiction books for children from birth to age 12
  •  Wikibooks is for textbooks, annotated texts, instructional guides, and manuals
  • As a general rule only instructional books are suitable for inclusion

  • Print media gives youth simple and tangible means to communicate ideas, grab our attention, and ignite our emotions.
  • A video camera provides creative opportunities for youth to collaborate, express their views and opinions, and foster clarity of vision.
  • Animation provides a hands-on approach for youth to creatively share stories by exploring their imagination and drawing from their own unique perspective. 
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The practice of taking a picture is familiar to most young people, but here we explore the potential for expression, communication, and visual thinking.
  • Sample curricula have also been created to illustrate the Adobe Youth Voices Essentials philosophy in practice. Provided in print, video, photography, and animation, the work is grounded in real-world examples that embody the vision of Adobe Youth Voices—“create with purpose.”

Free Technology for Teachers: Backup plans - some tips for teachers (guest post) - 0 views

  • Every teacher is taught that back up plans are a must.
  • 1. Computer breaks - if possible, have a laptop or netbook available for use
  • 2. Internet goes down - see computer breaks.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • smartphones
  • 3. File corrupted - have backups of your files on a backup system
  • 5. Finish lesson early - have some kind of material to work with if you finish your lesson early. Going to the next lesson doesn't always work depending on the time remaining. You could show a short video about the topic you just finished, you can have a classroom discussion about the topic, have students write a short paragraph about what they learned today (and anything that surprised them).
  • 6. Low attendance - many times there are school activities such as AP testing or class trips that can leave your class looking barren. I always have some kind of extra activity that I can do with the students that are there.
  • 7. Lesson runs long - Sometimes a lesson takes longer with one class than with another due to the student make up, discussion, or other issues that may interrupt the lesson. I try to be flexible when planning and give myself time in the plans for some classes to take longer
  • 8. Class interruptions - don't get flustered. Just come back to class and get started again. You can use the ideas above in #7 to deal with the fact that you lost class time and therefore your lesson may "run long".
  • 9. Students don't understand the material - have a different idea or method to teach the material. A video, activity, or just a different approach can be used to help the students
  • 10. Adapt and overcome - issues will happen. Just go with the flow and put your backup plan into effect.
