Your graphics and titles are perfect!

I like your information - maybe some graphics and images to balance out the pages for consistency - information is great!

Wow, this was fabulous! Not only are the tech components great, the information is clear, well organized, and super informative. Do you have plans to use this as your first introduction to the school? It is great!

Love these tips. Check out the comments too!

"MentorMob uses the "playlist" concept to collect and share information. I can see great potential in this application as place to gather multiple sources for creating a flexible architecture for learning." I'm not sure if this is better than Symbaloo, Squorl, or a Livebinder, but it's along the same idea with the exception of you place the sites you want in a play list, almost like an interactive presentation.

Square of Life: Studies in Local and Global Environments is an Internet-based collaborative project in which students will investigate their local environment and share that information with other students from around the country and the world. Participants will: Identify living and non-living things in their school yards. Revisit this site in mid-August for information about the Fall 2012 run of the project.

Colleen, I love this project. I would totally do this with my 4th grade students. :) It would be fun to post our findings on our blog and try and get others involved too.

This looks like neat project to do. I would be interested having a "Key Pal" through the project to really engage students and introduce them to who will be their audience.

"Common Sense Media provides comprehensive, free resources for schools and trustworthy information for parents to ensure kids learn how to be safe, smart, and responsible digital citizens who thrive in a world of media and technology."

Great information to make showing and finding videos easier.

This global collaborative project at http://ciese.org/curriculum/squareproj/ -- Registration closes SEPT 30 Driving questions: Why HERE and not THERE? Presents students with a world map and two animals/insects from different areas (EG Monarch butterfly and Australian stick insect specimens). Pose a challenging question: Why here and not there? Why there and not here? How can we find out? Register class on Square of Life, an Internet-based collaborative project that has students investigate their local environment and share information with students from around the world. Students examine a square yard of local ground and organize what they find into categories they define themselves: living and nonliving, plants and animals. Through close examination, they organize small creatures into groups by shared characteristics, and learn to discriminate between classes of animals, including insects and isopods. Theorize about the role of habitat and niche in insect distribution. Share their findings with Australian students (or students from around the glove) and report their conclusions about Why here and not there? Why there and not here?

Wonderful job! I love it!!

Right to the point. Very clear and well organized.

Great job with the Prezi, AND with the information! From reading the other comments I hear you're going to add sound. That will be a great addition! Seeing this makes me excited to see the ways we can make prezis even more engaging than the kids already find them!

Grade/Subject: 9-12 Language Arts Description: Students will research the American Dream, what it means to different people and cultures, how it changes, and how it manifests itself in politics, religion, education or entertainment. In addition, students will define their own American Dreams and explore obstacles and adjustments they might need to make. Benefits: The student will apply pre-reading skills and comprehension strategies, while extending independent reading, and will organize and synthesize information that will be used to plan, create, organize and present an age appropriate media product. Students will also become more aware of the way culture changes across the decades. Possible Pitfalls: Finding an authentic audience could be an issue. However, some front work could solve that problem.

A free book you can make which makes it possible upload up to 3 PDFs each with up to 15 pages, that is embed-able on websites.

This looks like a great project for kids! You can apply so many standards...

This is a great aggregator of curriculum and can be useful in so many ways. The use of Popplet and Sqworl is a great enhancement. Awesome!

What is a content trailer? "A picture is worth a thousand words" is an expression that has been used to express the power of images. It is no secret that the human brain thrives on images, with vision being 80% of information input to the brain.

For middle and high school teachers

If you use BrainPop, Make-a-Map is a powerful tool with lots of possibilities. Have students create their own concept maps to present to classmates.

Your collaboration tagul and google search and horse voki were very fun to watch. I enjoyed it and got the message loud and clear!

So impressive! Just from watching your video it's clear you're comfortable with some of the different ways to make a site exciting. Your personal pictures were also a great inclusion to help build the relationships with the teachers at your school. Do you have plans to update and keep this site going throughout the year?
