  • Sequencing with a SmartBoard- In this lesson, students will be assembled into groups of three or four. Students will be responsible for reading a selected picture book, identifying six main ideas from the text, and mixing the main events into an unorganized list. Student groups will then record their unorganized lists into the SMARTBoard notebook software. Once all groups have entered their list, student groups will receive a different group’s book and their created list. Students will organize the new list of main events, and using the Smart Ideas Software or concept mapping software, create a concept map of the assigned story and events.
  • SmartBoard Lessons Podcast Collection -The purpose of this site is to accompany a free podcast that focuses on using SMART Boards in the classroom. Each episode will feature a lesson, a podcast, and user comments. The hosts, Joan Badger and Ben Hazzard, have been recognized as Canadian & International Innovative Teachers by Microsoft, SMART Exemplary Educators, Peer Educators, Tradeshow Teachers, and Conference Presenters on the use of SMARTBoards in the classroom.

    Amphitheater Public Schools maintains this page as a resource for teachers who need a centralized place to come for learning the basics and techniques of using a Smartboard. It lists several sites that have pre-made compatible lessons in many subjects that can be addressed by students on the Whiteboard. There is a link to a Podcast collection which contains lessons, Smartboard Podcasts, and comments. It follows good educational pedogogy and utilizes lessons that stretch the imagination and gets students to think by acting and reacting with the Smartboard.

TPACK radio show for ISTE - 0 views

  •  
    A fake radio/video show created for ISTE2010 by Punya Mishra with Matt Koehler (and a bunch of other people who are thanked in the video). We were asked to create a video for ISTE, a conference that neither of us (Punya or Matt) could attend. Our goal was to create an engaging 15 minute video that would convey our ideas about technology integration in teaching, specifically the TPACK framework. The entire thing (including the two Mastercard & UPS commercials) was scripted, shot and edited over 4 days.

Alan Kay shares a powerful idea about ideas | Video on TED.com - 0 views

  •  
    This is a 20 minute video and was worth every second. o Look at time index 5:45 for a discussion of biomolecular interactions o Look at time index 8:15 for an AMAZING visual animation of the Pythagorean Theorem. o Look at time index 9:35 for 6 year olds discovering 1st and 2nd order discrete differential equations. o Look at time index 12:20 to see how the discrete diff. eq. transform into visual concepts for velocity and acceleration. o Look at time index 15:00 for more acceleration demonstrations.

Twitter Sheep - 0 views

  •  
    Twitter Sheep is a fun site for Twitter users. The way this works is a user enters their user name in the Twitter Sheep text box and then watch as a word cloud gets generated from the bios of their followers. By looking at a person's "flock" one can get a general idea of what a person is all about.

Presentations in the High School English Classroom - 0 views

  •         Like 4         Retweet 54         Printer Friendly         Send via email Learning through Presentations "How many of you have done the 18 minute, right before class, copy and paste, plagiarized, bullet point, turn and read off the screen PowerPoint Presentation? Be honest." Every hand in the room goes up. We know it as educators, kids know it as students. The presentation really is about finding information, putting it on some slides, add some transitions and then telling the rest of the class what it is you found. Then there is the audience who is suppose to take notes on the information. A.K.A. copy the bulletpoints in bulletpoint format onto a piece of paper. Because there is so much learning in copying words from the slide to paper....NOT......and of course as you are busy copying the words you're not listening to what the presenter is saying...not that it matters they're just reading the words off the slides anyway.

      Good ideas for capturing and holding audience's attention instead of doing the same traditional and expected Power Point Presentation

    Sarah Johnston's blogsite is excellent. It is written for the music educator professional and music students.It has Websites, technology information, suggestions, and general music technology integration. It provides examples of student technology/music projects.The students do film scoring, podcasts, composer reports, and GarageBand (software) compositions.It's philosophy is music is a major component of lifelong learning. It is designed on experience and first hand projects.It doesn't offer conclusions but leaves the viewer with the options of using what is on this site for further study and enjoyment.What I liked best about this site was the interactive music activities that allowed instant music playing.
