Teacher Zone - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting site with videos for teacher use with students. Very procedural in nature, but does include graphics/images to support development.  Worth exploring for use with students. Letting students watch the videos for instruction and then discuss.

    Interesting Animated history of the US. I like the idea, I wonder if students could use this model to create their own map/timeline combo to present information.

ISTE | Navigate the Digital Rapids - 1 views

  • Sometimes participants slip into a social-network mode of communicating. They may use textspeak or even inappropriate language, or they might upload pictures that are not acceptable in all global classrooms. This is where teachers must monitor in an engaged manner.

      It is the responsibility of the teacher to set high expectations and enforce them while helping students understand the process.
  • Monitor and be engaged. Using an educational network to support learning in a classroom is not the same as using a social network to connect with friends and family. We stress to our students and to the participants in our Flat Classroom projects that an educational network is a professional group of people coming together for the purpose of sharing experiences in a focused and monitored environment (see "Flat Classroom Projects"). All students and teachers should conduct themselves in a professional and culturally sensitive manner. This includes the types of avatars they choose, the styles of language they use, and the quality of material they upload.

      Great discussion of expectations, and responsibilities.
  •  
    Great article by Julie Lindsey and Vicki Davis about working with students in the digital environment, the opportunities it presents for customization, and the requirements it places on teachers to monitor, develop student understanding of the process, and support students in engaging with others.

Improving school improvement with Web 2.0 tools - 2 views

  •  
    Interesting little article identifying how to use web 2.0 tools to achieve school improvement plan goals, but I will say it's the instructional uses and not the tools that makes these goals achievable. Without the understanding (and more importantly) buy-in from teachers to integrate the tools into the classroom SIP goals won't be achievable.

15 Tools to Help You Go Paperless - TheApple.com - 3 views

  •  
    I just added all fifteen tools to my library but thought I should probably add the article where I got them all from as well. I think the article is a little overly supportive but at least the sites are interesting. I do like the premise of creating instructional routines that can be supported as paperless. I would like to see the conversation about how to create the entire routine from getting students to the site, letting them do their thing, get feedback to/from the teacher, reflect, repeat/progress... I think that is an area that teachers need help in thinking through.

    "Welcome to Shelfari! Shelfari is the premier social network for people who love books. Create a virtual shelf to show off your books, see what your friends are reading and discover new books - all for free!" Second time in a week that I've come across this site, it's growing on me. I think it has great potential for book studies/sharing.

SignApp Now - Simple Sign Up Sheets - 0 views

  •  
    Nice organization tool for sign ups. I think it has the potential to help teachers organize students who are signing up for activities/field trips. But will districts take electronic signatures for permission slips?

LiveBinders - Organize your resources in an online binder - 0 views

  •  
    "LiveBinders is your 3-ring binder for the Web * Collect your resources * Organize them neatly and easily * Present them with pride Best of all, it's free!" Now we are talking not only an organization tool but a creativity tool. In the process or organzing my materials, I'm creating those connections and webbing of links to where and why I post material in multiple places (3 ring binder tabs). I like it. I also like that it's drag and drop. I need to play some more with this one!

    "What is Soshiku? Soshiku is a simple but powerful tool that manages your high school or college assignments. Soshiku keeps track of when your assignments are due and can even notify you via email or SMS. " Another shot at a management tool (I personally need as many as I can get my hands on!)

Knowtes - Online flashcard-based study and learning community - 0 views

  •  
    "Knowtes is a flashcard-based learning community." Students can design their own flashcards routine. I like this spin on the drill and practice idea for several reasons: I can customize how I interact with the material and MOST importantly of all I can create my own flashcards. I think the creation of the flashcards is critical for a number of reasons.
