What an easy way for students to share documents and teachers to keep track of them. See the sections on "How to use folders as student turn-in folders" and "How to use forms to turn in assignments"

This is worth your taking the time to look at.

Transform your documents into an interactive flip book.

"You can use Google Images to search the web for images that have been licensed under Creative Commons or  GNU Free Documentation licences (GFDL).  Images licensed under Creative Commons or GFDL are still subject  to copyright, but the creator or copyright owner has chosen to allow other people to use their material under certain  conditions.

Then the rest goes into how to search Google Images, and how to give proper attribution. It's a tutorial walking you through step by step.

Primary sources from national archives. Interactive activities or make-your-own activity with their primary source documents

That is amazing! I could spend hours looking through it just for me.

This article links to a chart that describes when a blog, wiki, or document might be your best option.

I dig this guy and follow him on Facebook and Twitter. I would recommend that you do the same!

Create a digital poster or movie using collected images and documents from the National Archives. All of the images are there for you to search, save a collection, read brief descriptions about each image, and use your collection to create a movie. Great if you teach social studies, have students read historical fiction or teach science history.

This is one of the things we need to model for our students (older grades)

Here's my notes from the PBL session from ISTE13.

Thanks for sharing! There are some great ideas. I did the Marshmallow Challenge at the beginning of the year. It was a blast. I had a student come in the next day and tell me he had talked about it with his older sister, and the next time, he would have a better plan a build the tallest tower. What? Something happened at school and you went home and talked about it?!

Lesson Plan focusing on character traits for grade level 3-4

Nicely done Sarah and Erik! You've put a lot of planning and detail in it. It's well organized. I'm wondering if you saw these two sites: http://bit.ly/ehyA0R & http://bit.ly/utLabn

A lesson plan that incorporates all the Topic 8 geometric terms from enVisions Math using project based learning. The end product is a children's book with real life/world illustrations.

Nicely done! I appreciate how you're having them look for math in the real world. I'm wondering if you've seen Mrs. Yollis' blog post about polygons: http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/polygon-movie.html I'm also wondering if we can connect with an architect or artist as an expert.

I love the real world connections your students will be making and the authentic audience. They are going to love it and learn so much about Thanksgiving! I am wondering how you plan to have the kindergarteners reflect on their learning? I'd love to know so I have a better understanding for how to help Kinder with this.

I love how the two of you worked together to create something so strong. I'm wondering how you will have them reflect on their learning.

I love how you both worked together to come up with such a strong learning experience for your students. They will get so much out of this because of how deep it goes. I'm wondering how you will have them reflect on their learning when the unit is done.

A lesson for Lynne Cook's freshman English class improved during sessions four and five.

Nicely put together. I love how you are reflecting on how it went this year and added in more ways to integrate tech to enhance the lesson. I wonder if when they vote for the best ones, if you'll have them create the criteria for what makes it "the best"?
