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.

      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.

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."

Discussion:Transfer Cassette Tape to Computer - wikiHow - 0 views

  • 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).

      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!

      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,

      I really like this site for blogging in the classroom - especially if the students are younger or new to blogging. Students can respond to a blog post/question you give to the class, the blogs are private to only your class, and you can preview all posts before they are published for others to see.

  • f the cellphones have Internet access, students can use them to look up information online. Cellphones double as calculators and as cameras. And unlike iPads, e-readers, tablets, smart phones, laptops or desktop PCs, these devices are ubiquitous. Moreover, as the statistics indicate, text-messaging seems to be the preferred method of communication of teens.

Toddler T v.0.5 / iPad Education Applications - 0 views

  • I built this iPad app for my almost 3 year old who loves taking the ‘T’ in Boston. Click on the “red line”, “green line”, “blue line”, or “orange line” train tracks and start drawing a subway map. Each line makes a unique train sound as you draw. Click the train to place train “stamps” on the map. Shake to clear and start over! Price: FREE
