  • Following up from last Friday's entry about Iran's Presidential Election, Tehran and other cities have seen the largest street protests and rioting since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Supporters of reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, upset at their announced loss and suspicions of voter fraud, took to the streets both peacefully and, in some cases, violently to vent their frustrations

    A nice article with embedded videos that talk about the 6 features of the upcoming Google Wave that will change EVERYTHING about how we communicate. You can BET that Microsoft is now hustling to try to copy it for some release of their own. Outlook has suffered its final death blow - finally! :-)

    FLIP cameras are small handheld video cameras that can record 30 or 60 minutes worth of video. They connect to your computer with a USB plug that "flips" out from the side of the camera. The functions are basic, but the ease of use will make you forget that is lacks some bells and whistles "regular" camcorders have.

  • So the challenge is to find ways to create online teacher professional development that seems both compelling in its content and also more convenient, easier to fit into the work life of a teacher than the face-to-face courses.
  • online teacher professional development that includes an asynchronous component helps with that kind of reflection. Plus, the online format provides a layer of distance that helps people feel more willing to share things that are a little bit risky than they might in a face-to-face environment.
  • I think the kinds of professional development that involve people sharing artifacts of their practice and talking about them within a larger conceptual framework are becoming more and more popular with teachers.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The first is that it’s easier to do online professional development at scale than it is with local or purely face-to-face professional development.
  • I think this financial crunch is going to force people to move to some other model—one that probably uses a lot of technology,

    "An education-technology scholar discusses the current state and promise of online teacher PD. Chris Dede, a professor of learning technology at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is a leading authority on online teacher professional development."

    This is a link to the site for The Center for Schools and Communities. I am linking this site to our district web site. the video "Protecting Kids Online" has some really good information for parents to be aware of and think about with regard to their child's use of the Internet. In addition, the video has kids sharing real life situations that they found themselves in with regard to the Internet. If you have trouble getting parents to come to you, maybe you would be interested and taking this to the community like we are. We are posting questions that came with the copy of the video. If you would like to see the video user's guide that goes with the video, let me know and I can sent it to you.

    I am going to be putting this link with this video onto our district web page. It provides lots of good tips for parents and students and also has kids talking about real internet issues they have encountererd.

    "Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect -- and excel at -- paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. At TEDxNYED, Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think." This is one of the most inspirational videos that can be shown to a math teacher.

    This is an excellent video to spark conversation about math curriculum writing!

      Two questions. 1) What grade level are we talking about here. 2) What is the highest level of Blooms that is likely to be reached with this assignment?

  • Students can create an interview type show where they interview characters in the book, create a short movie trailer for the book, or actually have characters act out portions of the book.

      Besides the mention of xtranormal :-) what about this one? Interview characters in the book. A movie trailer? Act out a portion of the book? Again, what grade level? What is the Essential Question for the unit? What's the highest level of Bloom's

      What grade level? What SUBJECT? Is this appropriate for English class or a Media class that is studying posters, etc? What level of understanding about the book do you really need in order to do this? Is this worthy of an 18 yr old?

      I like this one. Wanna guess why? Of course, I'm assuming that it's directed to grades no higher than 8th.
