Welcome to the Mnemonicizer, the Mnemonic Device Device. A mnemonic device is a sentence that helps us to memorize a string of words. For example, music students use "Every Good Boy Does Fine" to remember the order of notes on the treble clef. (E, G, B, D, F). Math students use "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" to remember the order of arithmetic operations (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract.). But the range of usefulness extends beyond music and math. They are an invaluable resource whenever you are trying to remember something.
Game Classroom is the next generation of homework help!
This site has a variety of math and language arts games for students K-6. This would be a great resource to add to any teacher web page as well as one to share with parents who are seeking ways to support their child at home.
The Cognition
Laboratory is a part of the Human-Automation Integration Research Branch at NASA
Ames Research Center. We conduct research which involves modeling the human
operator in human-machine systems and experiments on normal human perceptual and
cognitive processes. Current modeling efforts focus on the task of the human
operator in Air Traffic Control. Experiments range from basic to applied. All
experiments are administered via computer, with participants watching the
monitor and answering by using the keyboard or mouse. Examples of experiments
include attentional control, dual-tasking, and the detection of conflicts in an
Air Traffic Control display.
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.
Welcome to the Stop Bullying Now! Campaign. You can learn all about bullying and what you can do to stop it. Take a look around and you'll find games and cartoon Webisodes that help you Take a Stand. Lend a Hand. Stop Bullying Now!
Both of these presentations are excellent. If you have whiteboard or clickers in your school or use promethean software you will learn so much from Deb Pickerings presentation. I recommend that everyone take time to review these archived presentations.
Here is the link for the PDE conference 2010 keynote speakers. Deb Pickering was excellent. I haven't had a chance to view Doug Reeves presentation yet but Pat Kennedy said it was good.

Students, parents and teachers have designated pages and the site offers a guide for contributors. Featured videos originate from national Geographic, YouTube, and google Videos, among others, and have been endorsed by educators from universities such as Harsvard, Standford, and Brigham Young University.
This site provides Activity types for various content areas. If you click on each of the active content links you will see that a variety of activitie types are identified as well as types of technology that could be used to facilitate that activity. I found it very interesting and would be helpful for tech coaches or teachers.
This is a good site, It would be very helpful for a person just getting started to look at their content area and see the types of activities listed (select the content area and then select the activity type link within the page). Each activity listed also has a list of technology that could be used to facilitate that activity.
Lovely provides a hot-linked list organized into live journeys, "interactive environments," travelogues, e-museums, building and place tours, map-based visits, and read-along visits.
This site is really interesting. I clicked on educators and I was able to search a topic by keyword, grade, as well as state and standard. When the search came up It has numerous additional links to go out to. It really looked like the links had good materials for teachers and kids. The one that I chose had lessons that could be printed out for educators.
