      EDTC 6343, The "Short A Easy" really makes the "A" easy to teach. I like how you can download the page in a word document and then print as many as you want.

    Tania, I must say that teaching phonics using this collection of word searches can be a lot of fun. It's not only educational but it is also very fun to do. I can see how students who are struggling with their reading skills can benefit from this. I really like the other resources at the top of the page. Especially the "Lesson Plans" tab resource. Thank you very much for hosting and sharing this great website!

    IMPORTANT!!!!! Phonics Word Searches Worksheets was shared by Tania Lopez Delgado and I just commented on it and I don't know why it says "Shared by R. Palomares about 6 hours ago". It was Tania who shared it she is the host. I shared "Free printable English worksheets, wordsearches, crosswords, board games, grammar works... " after seeing this awesome website that Tania hosted. I'm not a host this week so nobody has to comment on it but I thought it was good to share since it goes right in hand with what Tania hosted this week.

    I liked and enjoy navigating throughout the different worksheets that were in the website. They are very useful because it starts with easy to normal levels that will meet student's needs. In addition, these worksheets contain images that will help students connect with the words.
  • Lourdes Beltran on 23 Sep 12
     
    Wow! This is a fantastic website. It is a great website for ESL or Bilingual students. I love the fact that these worksheets are free. The Bilingual students can also benefit from the interactive games online. I think this is awesome. They actually would have the opportunity to practice their phonics in many different ways. With interactive games and fun worksheets. Also, one website that I found to help with phonics www.cookie.com.
  • Saul Mendiola on 23 Sep 12
     
    This is a great website. The pictures will definitely help the bilingual students learn some of the concepts that are introduced in class. I will share this website with my colleagues.

    This is an excellent link to use in the classroom. One of the things that I like is that it provides different resources. I am going to introduce this to my students so they can have fun learning new vocabulary. Also, I would like to implement some of the prompts that are given, great for ELL's, ESL and Bilingual students.

      Zoom Inventors and Inventions is an interesting website for having your students discover who invented certain items. One interesting fact I learned is that the reflectors that we find on the edge of the road were originally called "cat's eye road reflector". This website states that the inventor came up with this invention because the reflection of a cat's eyes at the side of a road kept him from driving off a hill at night..

It's basically step by step instructions on creating your own school website. I liked this link because some educators want to learn how to create their own website but don't know how.

    I was able to explore the website it's really nice, I especially like how the learner can create a story and allow others to add or help continue the story.( invention at play ) Basically, by allowing the learner to invent and think critically it will open up the doors to life time learning. http://sciencenetlinks.com/lessons/ Try this website, it also has an enormous collection of Science lessons that use the method above to enhance critical thinking. It reflects on the studies done about how learning is ensured through exploration and creativity. It is a great website that follows something similar to the PBL model. The lessons pose a question and require being inventive and exploring possible solutions.

    I had the pleasure of utilizing this in my classroom for a few years. I was able to walk around the room and make sure my students were on task without having to skip a beat of teaching. It allows you to use drawing, writing, and typing tools. It wirelessly connects to to the laptop through bluetooth technology and then the laptop is connected to elmo, and projector. You can capture an image of what you are projecting through your elmo and highlight, write notes, or draw on it, and you can save it for later use or print out notes for your students. You can also log on to the internet and it becomes your pointer, you can manuver through the web, freeze a page and write notes on it and save it. If you ever get a chance to work with one you will love it, I did! I miss it dearly because, unfortuately, the laptops at my campus are out of date and I haven't been able to successfully connect it to my current laptop which works when it feels like it. Now there's a new version out called Mobi Interwrite pad and I read that there is an app for the Ipad (not sure how the Ipad is connected to projector). But it is a technology worth looking into!

    I was hoping this was something that I wouldn't have to pay out-of-pocket. I did see how you mentioned there being an app for the ipad. I'm goign to look into that once I log-off. I have "checked out" the ipad for a few weeks and apparently, the other two on campus have yet to be checked out. I believe teachers are having difficulty in how to use them in class. I on the otherhand have been trying new apps, programs, and reasons to keep the ipad in my classroom. LOL
  • R. Palomares on 18 Nov 12
     
    Lucero, this "Interwrite PAD" seems like an awesome idea to have. The ability to teach interactive lessons from different places in the classroom would be great! The best part is that it comes with the software ($249) value. The battery life on this technology is also incredible. Up to 40 hours of continuous use without recharging it. That's a whole week! Having and using this "Interwrite PAD" would be awesome. Thanks for sharing!
  • Victoria Lopez on 19 Nov 12
     
    Lucero, I wish all campuses had the luxury of devices like the Interwrite PAD. Interactive lessons would work out best if students had ease of access instead of being restricted to a certain area of the classroom. This device seems to be able to provide engaging activities for the students and I would jump at the possibility of having the opportunity to incorporate the Interwirte IPAD into my lessons. Hopefully our school districts will continue growth in technology and purchase these devices for educations everywhere.
  • Sergio Perez on 19 Nov 12
     
    Lucero, my school district has purchased an Interwrite Pad for all of the elementary teachers at my district. I have been able to use it for the past three years and find that it keeps my students engaged in the lessons that involve the Interwrite Pad.
  • Marivel Garcia on 24 Nov 12

  • Maribel Gracia on 26 Nov 12
     
    This is an excellent equipment for all teachers to use in their classrooms because you can actively monitoring your students while you teach your skill. Also another benefit for gthis interwrite pad is that a students can also put his or her response to the question being ask by the teacher. Great information. Thanks for sharing.

    I know Mcallen I.S.D have issued students I-pads to use in the classroom. Here at E.C.I.S.D they have been assigned to teachers and us teachers have been using i-pads in our daily lessons. On my I-pad i have a remote desktop option for students viewing my work on the I-pad on the projection screen. Very neat tool and I feel that I-pads are very useful in teaching than a textbook.
  • Santos Alvarado on 03 Dec 12
     
    Great classroom technology equipment. I recently purchased an iPad app Whiteboard which gives you similar tools as a whiteboard but on your iPad and you project the information wireless to your computer and projector. Its very useful when you need to walk around and check on students and still project information to the rest of the class.

    What do you think is BYOD good or bad for the classroom?
  • ...12 more comments...
  • Cora Mendez on 03 Apr 13
     
    Due to our lack of funds or low funds; it seems like a good concept. However, many things would have to be worked out before something like this could be implemented. Like taking into consideration that working with different devices will be a challenge because some may not be compatible with certain software. If implemented appropriately BYOD could work.
  • Juan Betancourt on 03 Apr 13
     
    With the appropriate Internet bandwidth, policies, web 2.0 tools and software, it can be done. But like Cora mentioned it is going to be a challenge to address all of the issues associated with so many plataforms being available to students. To get started, a definite must is bandwidth. Then moving forward in setting up a wireless access point that is locked.
  • Adam Hovde on 03 Apr 13
     
    My school has had a BYOD policy for the last year and a half. Well, actually they have had the students bring their own device but we really do not have a policy to go with it...yet. Many of our students bring their laptops and tablets to school but our network is HORRIBLE. The teachers can barely access the internet let alone the students. Our district says we will be getting a new network this summer (we will see), and then hopefully we can use more content on the internet. I love using what others have come up with and posted on the internet I just want to be able to get to it easily.
  • Jessica Burnias on 03 Apr 13
     
    I agree with what you all are saying. In my school district they implemented the BYOD for our high school and 9th grade campus. The teachers received no type of training and were basically told when school started that we would be implementing it. We are having issues with internet access and supposedly our network is up to par. The teachers on our campus have mixed feelings because they feel alot of the students are just using their phone for texting or to get on social websites. Since students with phones can get on the internet without accessing the school's internet. The most importantly alot of teachers are having issues on how to use all these different devices. Since there are so many devices it is almost impossible to know how to use them all.
  • Gayle Curry Robinson on 03 Apr 13
     
    I think BOYD can be a good thing. It's not quite a good thing just yet. The district I am in created new guidelines for BYOD policies mid year last year. The reason I say it can be good thing is it's not really being implemented like I think the district thought it would. Even though we are well into the first year of the policy, students don't take advantage of it like they could. I do have a few students who bring a device almost daily to read from, but my own daughter, for instance, doesn't want to take hers out of fear of losing it. I think other share her fear; however, the fear the district had of students abusing the new BYOD policy never matierialized. In fact, it's as if less students bring devices now that they are allowed to than when it was against the rules. Figures. :)
  • Cesar Mata on 07 Apr 13
     
    I can definitely see BYOD as a possibility in the middle and high school setting, but as an elementary teacher, there would be more barriers than just network speeds and compatibility issues. Most elementary students wouldn't really have access to laptops, smartphones, or tablet computers. While they might be able to use these things at home, I doubt most parents would let their 9 year old bring the family $500 iPad to class everyday. Additionally, as others have said before, there would have to be a really solid policy put in place for the use of these devices to avoid the whole plan backfiring on educators. The internet can be a dangerous and scary place for those who don't know what they're doing as well as the obvious scenario of students just browsing facebook or something similar instead of completing an assignment.
  • Heather Luna on 07 Apr 13
     
    Like many of you have pointed out, I too believe that there are lots of kinks that must be worked off before BYOD can be truly successful, but I also believe that the open-minded, willingness of the districts to integrate technology is a step in the right direction. Our district will be implementing BYOD and I am excited to see how it unfolds. I realize that teacher monitoring is crucial and planning will be key, but I think it will benefits the children in the long run,
  • Georgina Salas on 07 Apr 13
     
    I did not even know what BOYD was till I saw this video. It sounds pretty interesting. I believe that any teacher who is interested in technology will "buy" in to it. My only concern is what happens to those students who don't own any tech devices they can bring to school. At the school where I am at the students are from very low income families but then again somehow, someway they find money to own these things. Yet, there are parents who refuse to buy the expensive devises. What happens to those students?
  • Isabel Cabrera on 07 Apr 13
     
    I think that BYOD is a good thing, because the student is familiar with his/her technology device. Sometimes when I have to use the school laptops, they have different features that I need to ask questions. If I had brought my own laptop, I would have completed more work and been more comfortable using my own technology. I do agree with Juan, we do need appropriate Internet bandwidth, policies, web 2.0 tools, hardware/software in order to incorporate BYOD in your school.
  • albert rodriguez on 08 Apr 13
     
    I think BYOD is a great thing, however, it's not that easy to get all parents on board, and I think it's even more difficult to get other teachers on board. Even one technology device is difficult for teachers who are not technologically inclined to prodide assistance in, and having many different devices can be overwhelming for those teachers. The concept is right on, however, there are some issues that need to be addressed first like teacher training and getting parent "buy in."
  • Christine Claudio on 08 Apr 13
     
    BYOD has been implemented at our campus with the upper grades. The students enjoyed bringing their own device and were eager to share their favorite applications. The teachers were surprised to see how many students owned their own devices.
  • Dara Cepeda on 08 Apr 13
     
    BYOD is great idea in implementing technology in the curriculum..I think that will motivate students to learn more..at my district they'll be implementing BYOD this coming year and I'm very excited about it. I know the students will be taught to use their own device but the right way. They will be more involved with classroom discussions and participate more, since it'll be done with their own device.
  • Edna Orozco on 10 Apr 13
     
    Bring Your Own Data! Excellent, we all know that students from nowadays are in touch with all kinds of electronic devices, and why not taking advantage of it. The good think about technology is that there are lots of applications or ways to incorporate such electronic devices in the classroom. I have used a couple of times cellphones to use them as clickers, and students are amazed they can do that, if we introduced students to such things they will naturally seek for more ways to incorporate learning with their own cellphones, ipods, ipads etc.
  • Ana A. Cavazos on 11 Apr 13
     
    I would certainly do the BYOD if i did not have enough technology in my classroom. Students are really proud when they contribute and share their "toys" or devices. The pros are that they know the devices well,and will be able to download the apps needed, and navigate. Devices are usually the latest model, so we would have compatible devices, and we can learn a thing or two from them and have the troubleshooting down as well. The cons might be that we need to make sure we have permission slips with waivers for lost items, but at the same time, be sure we have a place to lock them up and keep them safe. HCISD has form that needs to be signed by parents. I know a fifth grade teacher who has implemented BYOD, and technology has become an interwoven tool that is used seamlessly. Students are not at the novelty stage clamoring to get to the tools, but deciding for themselves when they need to use to to research, or for reviewing objectives taught in class. It was a successful implementation.

      Victoria, the youtube video was to the point and definitely an eye opener to how much the social media is being developed to communicate with the world. It is all around us in education, business and personal usage to provide us with instant feedback. I believe that social media has evolved so much that people can't live without it. We are so use to having cell phones at our fingertips that the thought of not being connected to some type of social media is inconceivable.

      Yadira, great web link for Web 2.0 tool resources. I found that many of the tools in this web page are great to use in the classroom as well as for personal use. Although, some of the web 2.0 tools mentioned I have not heard of, it will be exciting to learn even more on how to incorporate and see how it can enhances my classroom. Thanks for sharing this link.

      Hello Guys I am hosting Week 10, Oct. 29th - Nov. 4th, Please explore the links and discuss one way you can use this in your classroom and how. All of you are excellent educators so please be specific on the "how" to help share your great ideas.

    great website. I will use it to train teachers and parents. Some teacher know the very basic skills of computers but sometimes have problems looking for effective lesson for students. This is a great website for them to be familiarized with. On the other hand, parents can benefit to get train in this website also. Sometimes parents need to look for additional resources but don't know what resources or lessons to use for their children. Thanks for sharing.....

    Hi Marivel: I really like the website, I especially like the "Daily Dose of the Web" link that offers many learning sites to help engage the student in learning while playing games, working puzzles that help exercise the brain which we all know is a very important muscle to workout!.... I will for sure place this link in our campus website for our students to use. Thank you so much....Blanca

    I went ahead and explored the question of the day under "Daily Dose of the Web" link. And I like what they did with the problem. They explained, step-by-step, the solution to the problem. This is an excellent tool for those who need help, want to review or simply want to practice.

    Great website! I especially like the question of the day. I have used it several times in my classroom and it keeps my students thinking for a bit. Critical thinking is the key to great minds!

    This may be a little bit controversial, but I see a clear link to how we run our educational systems and the ideas presented on this website. I recently went to a training about connecting the content areas to have students create an end of marking period product that required they use skills and knowledge attained in all content areas. There have been several schools going in this direction and so far they've had great success, especially with ESL students. I'm very interested in pursuing something similar on my own campus.

Don't Pay for Technology: 25 Freebies for Students - 11 views

    In today's economic climate, paying for technology isn't prudent, and for some students, it isn't even an option. Fortunately, there are plenty of freebies on the web that can help with document creation, research, writing, storage, collaboration, studying and more. Here are 25 free web apps and software programs that may be useful to students. I've used several of these web apps with varying degrees of success with students. Have you used any or have plans to use them in your classroom? How have they worked for you?

    These are awesome Kate! The only one I have used before is GoogledDocs. I really like it when I'm working with a group. I've used it to create staff development plans, campus improvement plans, and analyzing data with my colleagues. I just set up an account for Bibme and I added it to our library website. I had been using Citation Machine, but this is different. I have some Pre-AP Social Studies classes scheduled for next week, and I'm going to show them how to use it. I also used the Flashcard maker to create flashcards for Competency 2 Vocabulary. I created them really fast. I just copied and pasted the terms from the database on Dr. Butler's wiki. I am going to share this website with our teachers too! This is so exciting! Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for sharing the article; I will add them to the resource page I created on my wiki. I agree it has become unnecessary to purchase any software. There are massive Web 2.0 tools and apps to use for free. I have exposed my students to concept mapping with bubbl.us, presentation formats (sliderocket, prezi, brainshark, slideshare), charts and graphs creation, vocabulary build up with games created on line (taxgedo, wordle) and interactive posters like glogster. Students love diverse means to present their information; they are not limited to present in a specific software.

    Wow!!! I loved them!! I am amazed at the number of Web 2.0 tools that are out there. I just was told by a friend about a Web 2.0 tool called live binder and I loved it too. You place all the web pages a student may need for a research or any project you want and you waste less time on searches and the kids will focus more on the assignment goals.

    And even more interesting - at the bottom of the page, there is an ad for getting college credit by taking a free online course. So you go through the free online course and then you can take a test and get CLEP exam and get college credit. For $77.00 you can get 3-credits. Not a bad deal. In my spare time, I would like to go through one of the courses.

    Great website. I used http://www.bibme.org/ to do my bibliography for the technology plan. It is a lot easier than using citation machine. I can't wait to use it with my students, since they have no idea about citations. It amazes me how many free websites are out there for free. I will be going through several of the websites to see what else catches my eye.

    This is an awesome website, it will definitly be worth bookmarking for future reference. Students will definetly find this information useful.

    Thanks, Kate! Yes, I am still at awe at the number of results I get when I look up for tools, it's incredible! Thanks once again for this great resource.

    I wouldn't be surprised if some students already knew about this. I have not used any in class yet, but I will definately look into it.

New Study Finds iPads in the Classroom Boost Test Scores | Techland | TIME.com - 4 views

    A new study shows that students who use iPads in the classroom score better in literacy tests than those who don't. Educators in Auburn, Maine began instructing 266 kindergarteners using the iPad 2 this fall, and those who used the tablet scored higher on literacy tests and were more enthused about learning.

    I love my iPad! I do think there's a lot more going on than just using the iPads that is causing the high achievement rates. I could give a classroom full of middle-schoolers iPads and they would be able to download apps and play lots of games. I truly believe that the teacher makes all the difference. If the teacher isn't on top of things, the iPad would be just another toy. The authors of the article gave the iPad all the credit and it's not so. Don't get me wrong, I would love it if we had iPads for our students, but teachers that know how to integrate them into the curriculum make the learning happen!
  • Delia Torres on 13 May 12
     
    Juanita, In the classroom, the level of expertise of the teacher knowing how to integrate the iPad into lessons will determine whether iPads are different instructional tools to engage the students in the learning process or are they just a toy for entertainment or social networking. Classroom content can be enriched by using the iPad and constant teacher monitoring when being used by the students.
  • Olivet Castillo on 14 May 12
     
    I would love to incorporate iPad's into the classroom because of the number of possibilities it has. I also, however, agree, with Adriana when it comes to the main source of the classroom. The teacher needs to know the tool, know how to incorporate to make successful lessons in order for it to be successful. If you think about it, the number of teachers in the district... then the number of teachers who are willing to incorporate it. It is a big difference! It would be great if all teachers would incorporate it, even begin training to incorporate it.

    It would be extremely interesting to see how the Ipad can boost test grades. It's also important to note that the teacher would have to familiarize herself with this technology. I think they would be an amazing tool for the classroom because they will keep students engaged and interested in doing their work. Also, it's interesting because new apps are always coming on the market and they can also be used in the classroom.
