    "Using Technology to Motivate Middle School Students Middle school students are motivated by experiential learning activities. Effective technology-based activities require students to do more than look up information; they require students to "do" something with it."

  • 20% of kindergarten through second graders said they owned cellphones. 29% of third through fifth graders do. 51% of middle schoolers and 56% of high schoolers do.
  • iPads. Interactive Whiteboards. Netbooks. Video games. Although educational technologies are being implemented more and more in classrooms across the country, we don't often stop and ask students - or their parents - what they think their technology needs are. But the newly-released Speak Up 2010 survey has done just that

    Great if you want your students to do a project that allows them some freedom/creativity, yet it can be on a certain topic. You can make them yourself as a bell ringer as the kids come in the door. Possibilities are endless!

Do you agree or disagree?

    Wow. Really interesting. I'm inclined to agree with the administration here. As they mention, security concerns are a major issue on campus. And though this professor claims she didn't know her posts were public, she should have a better understanding of privacy settings. We often chastise students for their misuse of social media. That same standard should be applied to faculty and staff.

    Thanks for sharing this article, Colton. This unfortunate situation touches on a few topics including internet privacy, being smart with what you publish, and racial dynamics on campuses. It is hard to say whether or not the actions taken against her were influenced by her article or harassment claim. Sometimes speaking up can create tensions. She does however need to take responsibility for the posts she made.

      This is a great site that can be used for various age groups and any subject! The short animated videos teach students about a topic and then they can do an activity, take a quiz, complete a worksheet, etc. to go along with it. My 6th graders LOVE it!

      This is flippin' OLD!!!
  • In theory, ability grouping increases student achievement by reducing the disparity in student ability levels, and this increases the likelihood that teachers can provide instruction that is neither too easy nor too hard for most students. The assumption is that ability grouping allows the teacher (1) to increase the pace and raise the level of instruction for high achievers, and (2) to provide more individual attention, repetition, and review for low achievers. The high achievers benefit from having to compete with one another, and the low achievers benefit from not having to compete with their more able peers.

      This is why we should be doing this
  • One of the main arguments against ability grouping is that the practice creates classes or groups of low achievers who are deprived of the example and stimulation provided by high achievers. Labeling students according to ability and assigning them to low-achievement groups may also communicate self-fulfilling low expectations. Further, groups with low performance often receive a lower quality of instruction than other groups. Slavin sees as the most compelling argument against ability grouping its creation of academic elites, a practice which goes against democratic ideals.

Audio transfer CD Cassette

shared by Linda Harmon on 11 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • The method described in this article is really only good for mono cassettes, i.e. spoken word, live recordings done with a boom box, etc. where the quality of the tape already matches the lower quality of the recording method. The only real way to do this right is to buy a) a high quality tape deck with stereo RCA outputs, b) a nice PC soundcard with stereo inputs, and c) a soundcard and/or audio recording program that includes noise reduction (specifically those designed for transfers from LP or cassette to digital).

    In case you ever need to transfer media from one format to another. There are also units that transfer vinyl to MP3s
