Lesson Plans - Search Education - Google - 1 views

  • With more and more of the world's content online, it is critical that students understand how to effectively use web search to find quality sources appropriate to their task. We've created a series of lessons to help you guide your students to use search meaningfully in their schoolwork and beyond. On this page, you'll find Search Literacy lessons and A Google A Day classroom challenges. Our search literacy lessons help you meet the new Common Core State Standards and are broken down based on level of expertise in search: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. A Google A Day challenges help your students put their search skills to the test, and to get your classroom engaged and excited about using technology to discover the world around them.

    There are challenges for internet searching that has culture, geography, history, or science as the theme.

Google Images & Creative Commons - 1 views

    "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. These images can be freely used in teaching material, as part of research publications, on blogs, wikis  and other websites, and in University publications.  Not all images on Google images are available under Creative  Commons or similar licences; this guide explains how to limit your search to Creative Commons and similar  material." 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.

National Archives/Digital Vault - 0 views

  •  
    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.

A Cleaner Internet - Browser Extensions and Add-ons for YouTube, Amazon and more - 2 views

  •  
    This extension gets rid of the comments, searches, etc. on YouTube, so all you see on the screen is the video. I installed it and it works amazingly well (at least with Chrome---haven't tried it with other browsers.)

Global SchoolNet: Home - 1 views

  •  
    Global SchoolNet's uses content driven collaboration. The age ranges vary and you are able to set the filter for your class level. I like this because it provides options to choose from, so you can pick based on the interest level of your kiddos, as well as the topics you are teaching. The only pitfall I could see would be if there was nothing relevant.

The Educator's Guide to Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons | The Edublogger - 0 views

  • The legal jargon with respect to digital copyrights can be confusing – especially since different countries have their own laws and regulations. With this post, we hope to dispel a few myths and pull together a complete list of resources for teachers and students to use when blogging and working with content online.
  • Rule #1: You Can’t Use Everything You Find On the Web
  • Rule #2: There Are Resources You CAN Use
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The trouble is, most of the laws and rules that cover fair use and education were written well before the invention of the web.
  • But make sure to check specific copyright restrictions before uploading anything you’ve scanned to the web! For more, check out the Fair Use FAQ for Educators here from the excellent resource site, TeachingCopyright.org.
  • What Can Be a Violation? Here are the most common types of content that we have been contacted about and asked to remove on our blogs: Images – mostly found through google image search Curriculum docs – especially handouts and student activities Text and quotes – copy/pasted from other websites (even with a link or attribution it still may not be legal) Music – usually mp3s that students have uploaded to share on their blogs

    Fantastic videos to get ideas across!

    Wow! Nice use of technology! What a great demonstration of all the fun things to learn and use.

    OMgosh! I LOVE it! So, I can't wait to use Tagul (I think that is spelled right?). I've read about it from Byrne on Free Tech for Teachers, but have never used it. The power of having it link to another site is fabulous. Thanks so much! PS the YouTube is being bookmarked in my library

    A powerful presentation! Everything was great. I especially liked the tagel? words.
  •  
    VERY cute. I LOVED how you did the wordle and the music was a great addition. Lots of information. I also loved the beginning how you introduced yourselves. Engaging...
  •  
    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?
