A great example of a diigo page commented on by Diigo In Education members. If you are showing someone Diigo, then join the Diigo in Eduation group and show this page.
Create a "binder" full of bookmarked sites that then show up as tabs and sub-tabs. The binder gets one url to share. Nice way of packaging a collection of sites. Like this one about google: http://livebinders.com/play/play/3803
According to the site - "do with digital information what you do with the papers on your desk - organize them into nice containers - like 3-ring binders on your shelf.:
"This
Classroom Learning 2.0
blog has been set-up as part of the
CSLA School Library Learning 2.0 program to encourage all of us to experiment
and learn about the new and emerging technologies that are reshaping the context
of information on the Internet today."
""Educational Networking" is the use of social networking technologies for educational purposes. Because the phrase "social networking" can carry some negative connotations for educators, the phrase "educational networking" may be a way of more objectively discussing the pedagogical value of these tools. The original URL for this site (http://socialnetworksined.wikispaces.com) still works, but http://www.EducationalNetworking.com is now the main URL."
Yes they are. And if a teacher is looking for aplace to allow kids to post the titles and reviews of the books they're reading, this is a good option. I guess it's an alternative to a book report, indeed.
This WOULD be fun, but I doubt that most schools would let their children use the webcam and post their images online like that.
Students can create a slideshow summary of their book with pictures, audio, and text. Other students can leave text, audio, or drawn comments on the book reviews.
This sounds like it's for the younger students, as well. And, it really all depends on the assignment, doesn't it? What are they to be talking about? A story summary, or more?
ASSISTments is a free web-based platform that allows teachers to write individual ASSISTments (composed of questions and associated hints, solutions, web-based videos, etc.). The word "ASSISTment" blends tutoring "assistance" with "assessment" reporting to teachers. It supports all subjects (i.e.,Math, English etc.) and due to federal grants, has a huge repository of math content. ASSISTments is not just a math tutoring system. Its an "eco-system" of researcher, schools, parents, funders, and state partners, working together to help students. Each of the partners get something out of it, and each contributes something.
