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!

      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,

    We've used this site along with Google Translate to create our shirts and cake design for our ELL Family Nights...they turned out GREAT! We heard so many good comments on the design.

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."

Parents: How to raise a creative genius - CNN.com - 0 views

  • As a parent, you have to love learning yourself. You have to read to your children. You have to let them see you reading. Just stay on them. Stay positive. You have to encourage them. --Fatimah Memfis

    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!

What is Content Area Reading? | K12 Reader - 0 views

  •  
    "Every time you read a text you read it the same way, right? Novels, textbooks, magazine articles and Internet web pages are all the same if they are written in the same language, aren't they? The answer to both of the questions is "not really". Readers employ different reading strategies and prior knowledge based on the genre (type of reading) and topic of the text. For this reason it is important that teachers help students, especially those in middle and high school, learn how to "tackle" their particular content area's texts."
  •  
    I always think it is important to help students with content area reading, so I found this site appealing.

      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.

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.

    At the end of the day, it shouldn't of been said.

  • 7. Join.meApplication: Screen sharingEnter join.me in your browser, and you're on your way to sharing your screen with anyone with whom you share the access code. Join.me also allows you to transfer control to allow others to interact with applications running on your screen. A phone conference feature lets everyone looking at your screen dial in to a common call. "Instead of canceling class during a snowstorm, I met my students virtually," recalls Frydenberg of one instance when he used the application. "They met me on join.me, where I shared my screen, and we all called in to listen to the conversation. I called on students in the chat room who had questions, and asked individual students to complete different steps of a software demonstration."

      I have a lot of meetings with people who are located in several different cities, using "Join Me" would really help me eliminate travel time and have us meet virtually.

    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!

      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.

  • The University of Central Florida has strategically implemented blended learning into its institutional practice. “They’re really the leader in terms of an institutional strategy,” Owston says. “They’ve found that students by far and large tend to prefer this. And it’s cut down on capitol—they’re able to make better use of existing resources.”
