"This presentation, and the 10 steps listed on this page, provide a simple framework for improving presentations, and can be taught to high school age students in about 50 minutes." This presentation is really about communicating visually.

Vicki Davis is asking for some help for her kids. "They have been using Google Lively as part of the Digiteen Project teaching digital citizenship (http://www.digiteen.net), however Google has announced it will shut lively down on December 31st."

online tools for math teachers and students

An online pop-up book and cautionary tale for Christmas from Antfarminteractive

This is a worldwide project originating in 'my own backyard' so to speak. We're doing the teachers' pro-d on Friday and the students will have several sessions in early Feb.

The companion site to the Freepath software --here you can store and share your multimedia files. You can set up groups colleagues or students who can access your files (aka: playlists) online, and then download and use them.

Free software for collecting multimedia resources and links, I am using this to build a new Earth science 11 program. Freepath lends itself so well to enabling my students (who work individually) to engage in the joy of self-directed discovery within the parameters of a structured learning package because they will be able to maneuver around my collection of multimedia materials, worksheets, readings, and links non-sequentially -- following their interests and going where their curiosity takes them, but will still have to come back to the framework and fulfill the expectations of the unit.

Welcome to my web page. Here you'll find links to some tools and resources my teaching partner and I have used to begin to move from 'text, paper and word processor' towards a more blended learning environment.

My first blog --> introduces meshows tools I like & questions I am grappling with "When I first started teaching and used to imagine how I'd end up, I thought perhaps I'd be helping student teachers learn how to work in the classroom. Now I think that goal may be within reach, but with a different twist, because I'm getting enormous pleasure from helping colleagues -- many near dinosaurs like I almost was -- renew, refresh and re-energize their work -- by letting web-based tools and resources breathe new life into our work.
