    I really love this interactive site.  It would work great with children in art the first example is the chair.  If you launch the site and then go into the museum and click on specific art work such as the chair you can then work with different activities.  This is a great way for children who need some assistance coming up with ideas but then there are parts of the activities that create further exploration such as designing a table to go with the chair you created.  Great art site!!

Educational Leadership:Multiple Measures:Teaching with Interactive Whiteboards - 0 views

      I love this idea of using the interactive white board to help students understand the topic as it relates to things current in the world.  Using this in addition to their textbook can show them that what was significant in the past is still significant today.
  • In many classrooms, teachers simply noted how many students obtained the correct answer instead of probing into why one answer was more appropriate than another.

      There is no point in showing the results if your not going to discuss them!

  • A second feature is the use of graphics and other visuals to represent information. These include downloaded pictures and video clips from the Internet, sites such as Google Earth, and graphs and charts. Use of these aids was also associated with a 26 percentile point gain in student achievement.

    I love this website! I think this is a great way for students and teachers to see a variety of educationally appropriate videos that also show the classroom discussions as well.  This site along with many of the other sites in the blog are great ways to incorporate technology into any class.  One of the videos that I found fascinating (Because i'm an art major) is the video about Michelangelo.  The great part about the site is that you can search by subject therefore making it easier for teachers to find what they are looking for.

  • Thinking and learning for yourself

      I love the fact that the one idea the keeps coming up is the thinking and learning for yourself.  We cannot continue to teach our students in a way that doesn't force them to think and learn by themselves!

Are they Students or are they Learners? : 2¢ Worth - 0 views

  •  
    While looking through the different sites and the information that they offer I kept learning towards the 2 cents worth site.  I'm not sure why but I think it has part to do with the organization of the site and the information presented.  But I stumbled across this article which really makes you think about your style of teaching and the way it affects your students.  It also makes you think about how students need to see you as a learner as well rather than someone so high above them that they can not relate to you.  By providing students with this view they will be more likely to listen to what your saying and see what they are learning as beneficial to themselves.  I thoroughly enjoyed the chart at the bottom so if you don't have the time to read the whole article please at least look at the chart it's a real eye opener.
