My Manifesto To Learning-David Jakes - 0 views

  •  
    "At my keynote at the recent Midwest Google Summit, I challenged the educators to write their own manifesto associated with teaching and learning. In my opinion, a really good manifesto gets after it, puts ideas out there, and is on the edge. So, several asked: "Where is yours?" A great question, so here it is. I hope it challenges your thinking."
  •  
    Do you have a learning manifesto? Great food for thought from David Jakes.

Free Technology for Teachers: Watchkin - Another Tool for Distraction-free YouTube Viewing - 1 views

    "Over the years I've shared a variety of tools for watching YouTube videos without all of the "related" videos and advertisements appearing on screen. Watchkin is the latest tool in this market that I have tried. Watchkin is a service that allows you to watch and project YouTube videos without seeing the related sidebar content typically seen on YouTube.com. "

My Top 12 Favorite Channels on the new YouTube Kids App-Review by Jeff Bradbury - 0 views

  •  
    "There has been a huge buzz recently on Twitter about the new YouTube Kids app. There are thousands of great videos to search for on this new platform. The app opens up in a very clean and inviting menu that breaks down content into four categories: Shows, Music, Learning, and Explore. Each of these sections has designated channels packed with amazing video content. The YouTube for Kids App is FREE and is certainly one that I will be recommending at future conferences I present at. Where we couldn't fit all of the great content into this post, we certainly welcome you to use the comments section below to share your favorite YouTube for Kids channels."

How Do Digital Portfolios Help Students Learn? Matt Renwick - 0 views

  •  
    "How do digital portfolios help students learn? Where is the evidence that this assessment strategy actually supports improved teacher practice and increased student achievement? Why should teachers "do" digital student portfolios in the first place, since they are not required? How do performance and progress portfolios "mesh"?" Digital student portfolios can provide what other assessment tools cannot: Real, unabridged, minimally processed artifacts of learning that make sense to all the learners in the classroom, including the teacher. Technology used in this way can bring us as close as we can get to peering inside our students' hearts and minds to find out what they currently know and are able to do.
  •
