    I'm always looking for book suggestions for the kids. I like that there is a description of the book and often a link to the author's site.

Wired Campus - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 4 views

    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.

As Mobile Devices Multiply, Some Colleges Turn Away From Building Campus Apps - Technol... - 0 views

shared by Ann Franz on 02 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • College officials who favor mobile Web sites say that developing apps is getting too expensive. It can require creating and updating multiple versions of a single program, one for iPhones and another for Android phones, for instance. By contrast, a single mobile Web site can work with all kinds of devices, potentially lowering development costs.
    • Ann Franz
       
      Cost savings for your college if it is thinking of purchasing mobile apps, instead there is a new single mobile website that can lower the cost.

    How fun is this website? Similar to Diigo in that you are able to collect things or websites that interest you all online!

    I'm a guy, so I don't dare join, but maybe I can for the sake of education. I think a lot of my students would use something like this in an educational way...then in a personal way...and even more for education!

      Apps for the iPad that would be useful for ELLs.
  • Educational Apps We continue to test out apps that are both fun and educationally useful for ELLs.  There are several good ones.  Flipboard allows you to customize and browse the web in a magazine layout that is easy to scan and fun to read. There are also many good word game applications. I like the traditional Boggle and Scrabble.  There are also lots of flashcard apps, such as Index Card, that help students learn study skills. Apps like Stack the States and Star Walk help with content area studies.

Twenty Everyday Ways to Model Technology Use for Students | Edutopia - 0 views

    • Sheraden Bobot
       
      This is a great site to use as educators for learning how how to incorporate technology in your classroom without actually having a computer for every student to use.
  • #3. Set up your technology in front of your students while talking them through the process. Eventually, create a "tech crew" made up of first period students that set up your technology during announcements in the morning. Maybe they come in a few minutes early. However you want to work it, ask the students to be involved.
  • #10. Present your lesson using a Powerpoint or a Prezi. Better yet, initially create it with input from the class so they can see how you assemble it. Now you're discussing content and methodology.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • #6. Skype with another teacher on campus in front of the classes.
  • #11. Show an excerpt from a TED.com video to introduce a concept.
  • use a digital frame on your desk with scrolling pictures from your own collection.
  • #18. Download Evernote to all of your devices so that as anything occurs to you (questions, eureka moments, resources discussed, etc.) you can whip out your smart phone, laptop, iPad, whatever, and model using the Cloud for ongoing note taking.
  • #20. Model flexibility. Remember, whenever you use technology, things go wrong. Have a Plan B or at least model "water off a duck."

Wordle - Beautiful Word Clouds - 0 views

      I love using this site with my students. I have used it as a bellringer by having students try to figure out the theme of the wordle when they come into class, exit slip to review what students learned in a lesson, or have students create their own as part of an assignment/project!
    • Rowan Burk
       
      Good idea! We used it last year to describe what we learned about pumpkins. We also used it to create a design for our school shirts!
  • ordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out,

      You need a log in for this site, but it is a great resource to use in your classroom and for students to use as practice at home. You can create games or quizzes for students to practice or assess them on different content areas. You can also play/use other quizzes or games already created. Students LOVE this site!

    I have seen students use this site and have seen positive attitudes about it as well. Anything that is interactive and getting the kids to study is great.

      I love using this websites for resources with my Promethean Board. It also works if you just have a Bright Link board. This site offers various flipcharts that are already created on a variety of topics and levels. Anyone that has made flipcharts knows it can take a LONG time, so this site can be a lifesaver!
  • Created by teachers, for teachers, Promethean Planet is a unique teaching, sharing and support community—your place to connect, create, and change the classroom !

Ability Grouping in Elementary Schools. - 0 views

  • 1987-00-00
    • Mark Levezow
       
      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.
    • Mark Levezow
       
      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.
