    Also see: http://www.relayforlife.org/learn/relayforeveryone/studentrelays/relay-recess "How can your students become superheroes in the fight against cancer? Relay Recess brings Relay For Life to elementary schools nationwide. It provides students, teachers, and administrators the opportunity to become heroes in their own communities. It also brings cancer education and community service to the classroom in a fun and exciting way. It also engages elementary school students in the fight against cancer through fundraising activities that support cancer programs and services in every community. It gives students the chance to get out of the classroom and have fun with entertainment and activities that reinforce what they have learned. Because the program is so flexible, it's different at every school and is an excellent opportunity to showcase unique qualities about your school and your community."

ASSET - Eight AZ PBS Educational Outreach - 0 views

  •  
    Just a quick heads up that ASSET is still here for you and ready to help in filling the Discovery Streaming void. PBS is launching Learning Media, a digital repository of over 14,000 resources, including video, audio, images, interactives and lesson plans. By the end of the year, there will be 30,000 assets. This basic service is totally free to teachers. You can see more at www.azpbs.org/asset and then click on Learning Media.

    This is ASSET's answer to helping with Discovery Streaming deciding to charge for their services. If you think it's worth investigating, would you let Jon know? Thanks!

A Sticking Plaster Mentality to Open Web Access in Schools | edte.ch - 2 views

  •  
    Great discussion on keeping content open or not. -- For bandwidth issues, I wonder what would happen if it would help if they became part of the solution by educating everyone on why there are issues when streaming and that's part of netiquette ****This would be a cool service learning PBL -- but students (via teachers) would have to come up with the solutions

    Shana, I've used linoit and LOVED it! Great site!
  •  
    OH MY GOODNESS! I was just looking for this exact thing! I found a similar, although more difficult to use bulletin board, which is embed-able. But I would so rather use this! http://popplet.com/
  •  
    I am loving this. I was just talking this morning about having something to add to an online web canvas. I will shock my students and then they will shock me. This will be fun to use. Thanks.
  •  
    This is a great resource. I liked the way you can incorporate pictures and that you can share them.

    I would love to see this in action in the classroom...

Common Core | November Learning - 0 views

  • Explicit Skills: Critical Thinking Global Communication Collaboration Information Literacy Information Management Media/Technology Literac
  • “Maximizing the Common Core involves a change in creativity, critical thinking, and a fundamental shift in relationships. It is where the role of the teacher becomes more essential than ever, as students develop their capacity to question, discover, connect, collaborate and contribute on a global scale, and where they are empowered by an increase in direction and management of their own learning.”

Project Management - The Devil is in the Differentiation! | Blog | Project Based Learni... - 2 views

  • 1. Team meetings: Meet with each team for at least 10 -15 minutes at key points during the project. This will take a couple of days if you have 6 - 8 teams in a class, but the time investment is worth it.
  • 2. Team Rep meetings: This is almost the opposite of the Team meeting, where you meet with only 1 person from each team. If the class has 7 teams then you meet with the 7 team reps all at the same time.
  • 3. Make your class space as self-service as possible: Take time at the beginning of the year to set the culture that the students can take care of themselves and get what they need for their learning. As students get better (trained) at knowing how to act appropriately in the class space, your teaching is more powerful. You can pay attention to the important things like responding to questions, having deep conversations with individuals or teams, or even giving a short lecture because the students have asked for that information in the Need to Know list.
