Popplet | Collect, curate and share your ideas, inspirations, and projects! - 2 views

  •  
    Popplet is a one-stop shop featuring a combination of mindmapping, online bulletin board and presentation tools. It's extremely fun and easy to use and works great with a wide range of grade levels. Double-click anywhere on your Popplet board to add a content bubble (called a popple). A popple can hold all sorts of media including text, images, videos and even Google maps! Create mindmaps by dragging connections between popples and arranging content on the board. Finally, use Popplet as a unique presentation tool. Choose the order of the content using the presentation menu, then the app will zoom in on each popple while you are presenting. This is a great way to teach students to go beyond traditional, linear presentations. Make sure you give Popplet a try for its ease of use and versatility in the classroom.

National Archives Experience : Digital Vaults - 0 views

  •  
    The National Archives has put together an amazing site where students can create digital content with primary resources. Students can search photographs, documents, and other records and collect them. Students can use collected items to create their own digital poster or to make a movie. Students can also create a Pathway Challenge. In a challenge, students create a series of clues that show relationships between photographs, documents and other records. Others can take part in these Pathways Challenges. There are also ready made challenges that students can take part in, I just took the Lincoln challenge. Clues are given and students have to find a record that matches the clue. This is a truly incredible way for students to interact with history.

6 Steps to Exterminating Innovation in Schools | Hooked On Innovation - 1 views

  • Innovation is an annoying pest. It infects organizations and makes people uneasy because it’s usually accompanied by a disease called “change.”
  • It’s true, innovation is a pesky agitator to the status quo and it does come at a cost. In education, it’s even more of a pest because the one thing almost everyone in our country has in common is that we all have the same stored image (and hence vision) of what education is and how to play the game of school.
  • What follows are the best ways to “exterminate” the pest that is innovation.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • If you find innovation infiltrating the walls of your school, be sure to point out the fact that no one knows if this will work.
  • It’s hard to be creative and innovative with a short leash.
  • Professional learning and support are fertilizers needed to help innovation grow.
  • Social media is a breeding ground for innovation
  • A BYOD program is a great way to save money.
  • have technology in your schools
  • will surely just be a nuisance in the
  • classroom.
  • Teachers will become so frustrated they’ll welcome the change back to “traditional” teaching and learning.
  • So sharpen up those number 2 pencils and let’s move forward! Wait…that’s too progressive.

SpeEdChange: If school isn't for collaborating, why does anyone come? - 5 views

  • A learning environment in which students make most decisions
    • ashley gilliam
       
      Classroom design and collaboration are intertwined. How does your environment promote student-centered learning and collaboration?
    • Laura Gatlin Reinhart
       
      Some teachers on my campus are allowing kids to construct knowledge through projects, but not nearly enough.  Plus, I don't think we are truly doing Project Based Learning in the strictest sense.
  • Every place they go, people will be using a flood of differing devices. Every place they work people will be Skyping, Twittering, Chatting, Texting, working together in Google Docs, translating, searching for information and data, and building social networks

      How are you teaching/supporting the use of these (age-appropriate) skills/tools within your curriculum?
    • Laura Gatlin Reinhart
       
      We have a blended ecosystem of iPads, Chromebooks, Macs, PC laptops , PC labs, language labs, and ActivExpression devices.  However, it seems a minority of teachers are using these in a limited way.  A few teachers are using Twitter follow, texting answers using ActivExpressions, and my personal favorite- GAFE!!!  GAFE has been a game changer in terms of collaboration and assessment and the light bulb is starting to go off for some teachers.

Ereader Tool for Schools | Gobstopper - 0 views

    Gobstopper, a new online tool for Humanities teachers, revolutionizes how we give reading assignments and how students complete them. Gobstopper is an e-reading platform for schools that allows educators to put the questions and quizzes they would normally place in worksheets directly into the text. Teachers can make a quiz pop up at the end of the chapter that is automatically graded by Gobstopper. They can even embed videos of themselves explaining difficult concepts at exactly the moment a student encounters the difficult passage in their reading.

eduClipper - 0 views

  •  
    EduClipper is an educational platform for students and teachers to explore, share and contribute resources. A difference between eduClipper and other curation sites for educational materials is that this site allows for the user to choose a privacy level. A user can decide to create an eduClipboard and keep it private or make it public and share it via Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Evernote, Edmodo or email. Since eduClipper's goal is for users to explore, share and contribute to the library of educational content, the site isn't as likely as some sites to be blocked by school firewalls.

    Screen sharing is one reason I really like Google Hangouts on Air. A Google Hangout (GHO) is a video conferencing tool with some neat ways to integrate Google products and other add on's. A Google Hangout on Air kicks the GHO up a notch and broadcasts it live through YouTube.
