Using QR Codes to Differentiate Instruction | Edutopia - 2 views

  • For a social studies lesson, you might want your students to scan a set of codes that takes one group to National Geographic's website, another group to an image of a world map, and a third group to an encyclopedia entry about explorers.

Tips for Teachers Who Wish to Use YouTube in Classroom - EdTechReview™ (ETR) - 1 views

  • YouTube is the greatest video hub.
    • Diane Nordin
       
      This is the major reason for me to want to share videos on YouTube instead of other video sharing sites.

      Very important!!
  • While copying the embed code, make sure you’ve unmarked “Show suggested videos when the video finishes”. This helps you expose your students to YouTube videos in a safe and secured manner.

      Good tip on sharing the video link.

How to teach a young introvert | ideas.ted.com - 4 views

    • Diane Nordin
       
      I agree this statement of "Number one would be to make sure to build quiet time into the school day, especially when kids are younger. Have 15 minutes set aside every day where the students just read." Question: As a classroom teacher, I am with my students 42 minutes per day, how can I take almost half of this time for reading? Shouldn't this issue be addressed as a whole school wide??
  • A lot of students who might be reticent at first will feel emboldened by having first discussed it with a partner.

      Think-Pair-Share
  • Small-scale socializing. Socializing in pairs and small groups.
    • Diane Nordin
       
      My groups are mostly formed in 3 to 4 students, so it is easier to form a think-pair-share and compare best answer for their group.
