Half of our class is on their third year blogging! We started in 4th grade! We are a 6th grade class that is piloting a 1:1 laptop program using iBook computers. We blog, Skype, make Wiki pages, produce digital videos, podcasts and vidcasts.
"Organize Your Education!™
GradeMate is a powerful online organizer for teachers and students to keep track of their courses - from managing grades, assignments, and events to sharing files, course notes, and class discussions."
Offers information about what elementary, middle, and high school students should be working on as well as standards for each grade level to work on mastering.
The For Teachers section includes free classroom materials written for students in grades 6-12 to deepen their understanding of the world and related social issues. These activities are intended to raise awareness of individuals who make a difference and show how problem solvers begin and carry out their work.
"One feature of Google spreadsheets is there is a function called ImportRange that allows you to pull data out of one sheet and into another. This can be really useful, if for example you have a spreadsheet that you are using to collaborate with others, and then somewhere along the line you want another person to be able to see some of the data in the sheet but not all of it. e.g. if you are using this to track student grades, you could have a master sheet that you and other tutors can see all of, you could then create a separate sheet for each student, and pull through only the data that refers to them (you then share that sheet with the student) and they have a live constantly updating record of what they have achieved etc."
This is a fun song called the ""fifty Nifty United States" to help teach students each one of the states. I like this version of the song because during the video it shows "real-world" examples of each state. Students always learn better when the can make a connection to something. I used this song in my fifth grade class and my students loved it.
