Activities

  I love the idea of students working together to complete these activities on an interactive whiteboard. I hope they would think that this is so much fun and at the same time they would be learning! Students respond well to technology and this is a way to show them that technology can be fun and educational.

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

whiteboard technology

shared by Kristen Koburger on 15 Oct 11 - Cached

Interactive whiteboards have great potential as a tool to enhance pedagogical practices in the classroom and ultimately improve student achievement. However, simply assuming that using this or any other technological tool can automatically enhance student achievement would be a mistake. As is the case with all powerful tools, teachers must use interactive whiteboards thoughtfully, in accordance with what we know about good classroom practice.

  I like this article because it reminds us that while technology, particularly interactive white boards, is great in the classroom, it is only as good as the teacher using it. The teacher needs to think about how they will use it in the classroom to ensure the best results for their students.

1. School Tube is a website dedicated to the sharing of videos created by students and teachers. School Tube allows teachers and schools to create their own channels for sharing their students' works. School Tube also provides excellent how-to resources, copyright-friendly media, and lesson plans for using video in the classroom.

  I like the idea of students sharing their work with other students from around the country (or even the world). I think students would take more interest in their assignments if they knew they would get to share them with others.

12. CNN Student News is a daily web show highlighting a handful of stories. The stories covered by CNN Student News range from traditional serious news topics to how-to stories appealing mostly to students to light and fun stories. As a social studies teacher every week I find at least a couple of stories from CNN Student News that I can work into my curriculum. CNN Student News provides printable maps and a daily news quiz to go along with each episode.

  I didnt know CNN had a student site. This is great!!! Getting students interested in news and current events can help widden their perspective on the world and maybe make them proactive citizens.

The people in the government agencies running them, from national officials to local authorities, are educators, not business people, military leaders or career politicians.
- Kristen Koburger on 19 Sep 11
  
  Why dont we do this???? Having politicians and businessmen run the education system in this country is like having a ballerina play football. It doesnt make sense!

professionals selected from the top 10 percent of the nation’s graduates to earn a required master’s degree in education
- Kristen Koburger on 19 Sep 11
  
  Although we are obviously all pursuing our masters in education, it is not required in America that teachers receive a masters in order to teacher. In fact, in some schools and in some parts of the country just getting a teaching certificate is enough to qualify adults to become teachers. I wonder if the standard to become an employable teacher in Amercia was raised, if there would be better quality teachers. I think that if becomig a teacher required more then a certificate or a bachelors degree, only those who are truely passionate about teaching would try to become teachers.

"an approach to teaching that avoids mainstream tools like PowerPoint and Blackboard, and instead aims to bring the rebellious attitude and D.I.Y. ethos of ’70s bands like The Clash to the classroom."
- Kristen Koburger on 19 Sep 11
  
  I like the idea of avoiding commonly used tools like Powerpoint. There are so many other technologies students can used to create presentations nowadays.
