Thinkquest - (Facebook for elementary??) « The Techie Classroom - 4 views

    • Erika Sass
       
      Has anyone used Thinkquest? It looks like a great way to introduce elementary students to social networking in a safe way. I also posted a great site that does online safety and cyberbulling in 15 minutes lessons with Garfield cartoons for kids.

      Yes, I have used it primarily with middle school students and I have found it quite useful. The last time I used it was several years ago to set up a list of websites to use with a webquest, a very simple and easy thing to do.

    "Facebook" option for elementary?
  •  
    This looks pretty promising. I also think the connections you made on this site are great - asking for resources and someone commented back with great resources on kids safety on the internet. Awesome!!
  •  
    I also liked the description. I will make an account to explore it and see if it is something we can use with older students as well.

Connecting a Classroom: Reflections on Using Social Media With My Students - Education ... - 2 views

  • eflections on Using Social Media
  • Social media can expand our thoughts and ideas and connect us to what is going on in the rest of the world. It would be cool getting ideas that are actually present outside our community.”
  • sk students to help develop ways to use that platform to connect within and beyond your classroom. Co-create virtual community with students rather than for them. This obviously looks different for elementary classrooms than for secondary, but all students should feel a sense of ownership over the classroom accounts.

      " ask students to help develop ways to use that platform to connect within and beyond your classroom. Co-create virtual community with students rather than for them. This obviously looks different for elementary classrooms than for secondary, but all students should feel a sense of ownership over the classroom accounts". i think that this is the key - not building for them but with them

      That's a great statement to highlight. This applies to higher ed as well. (Kim, Group 3)

      I like this idea, but wonder how it would look in a classroom where some students have extremely limited tech knowledge. Maybe pairing them up with other students and having them teach each other?

Comics Lab Extreme - 1 views

  •  
    I've been looking for another comic-maker that will let you upload your own photos - this one does! It also has a pretty large gallery of characters, backgrounds, etc. You have a choice to make a comic book, comic strip/e-card, presentation, manga, or a graphic novel. This is a great site for elementary kids for a lot of different areas, but the comic creator is for grades 3-12.

Vocaroo - 0 views

  • Record an audio welcome message and put it on your blog (or wiki or web page.) Elementary students can practice their oral reading skills. You could even post them on your blog for parents and grandparents to hear. Each day have one student record “what we did in school today” and post it on your blog. Students in a foreign language class could record words or phrases and then email them to their teacher. Left your students with a substitute? Record a message to encourage your students to be on their best behavior!

      I used Vocaroo this week-- a simple app and easy to use that can fulfill a variety of needs for the classroom. I thought I could share some here with you...I am drawn to the second point about practicing and recording reading out loud. This past year with my elementary students, I found a great need to improve their understanding of sounds in Spanish, as well as building their confidence as "speakers" of the language. This gives me an opportunity to work on this issue further this upcoming year.

Storybird: write, publish, journal, read. It's awesome! - Ed Tech for ESL - 4 views

  • Much of the work is written for or by elementary school kids so the sentences and vocabulary aren’t too complex
  •  
    I started using Storybird last year, and I love it. It is great to teach fantasy writing and to reinforce the elements of fiction. Using the sample stories for ESL students sounds like a great idea!
