Doodle 4 Google - 0 views

  •  
    Great opportunity to have students create some expression of their thinking about the topic, "What I wish for in the world". Google is getting some free pub, but what a great way of doing it!
  •  
    Want a reason to have your students doodle, then this is for you. The best thing is that this lets them doodle around a positive theme. I hope you will share with your art teachers, world civ, or current issues teachers. Heck share with your environmental science teachers too. We can all use a little thinking about "What I wish for the world" in our classrooms.

NASA Earth Observatory: Home - 1 views

  •  
    NASA generated website with pictures, podcasts, blog posts of current happenings around the world. I explored one example, the recent Tsunami. Great pictures of the island and of showing the wave in the ocean! Also, great story accompanying the pics. I, also, loved the interactive global map with the geolocated pictures. Although I haven't listened to the Science for the Hungry World podcast, I subscribe to several NASA podcasts and think they are great for teaching!

Hans Rosling shows the best stats you've ever seen | Video on TED.com - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great presentation. If you want to see how the best thinkers in the world are presenting their data, then take a look at this presentation by Hans Rosling. I think this presents a challenge to math teachers to have students look at data differently than we are now. I think the data on the income and child mortality rate is incredible. Such a powerful data set and it's a linear relationship!!
  •  
    Powerful topic, poverty and patterns in data relationships over time, WOW. Hans Rosling uses some incredible statistical software to present the data, but the idea can be mimicked using some PP type technologies and creating graphs. The topic of poverty is explored in a very easy understandable way; I think high school students would understand the topic and love the idea. Make sure you listen to his use of the databases, and remember he is one of the premier statisticians in the world. He is changing how he presents data, and I think we need to listen to his message on this topic.

  •  
    "This report is based on evidence from a small-scale survey carried out between April and July 2009 in 35 maintained schools in England. It evaluates the extent to which the schools taught pupils to adopt safe and responsible practices in using new technologies, and how they achieved this. It also assesses the extent and quality of the training the schools provided for their staff. It responds to the report of the Byron Review, Safer children in a digital world."
