Capzles - 0 views

  •  
    Capzles is a unique timeline type of Web 2.0 tool that lets you create unique storylines by implementing images, video, and audio files directly into the timeline. Currently, Capzles is absolutely free and there are no downloads or plug-ins required to use the tool. The way I could use this website/timeline tool is by asking the students to look back at their earlier years of life and record when they think they started using each level of math up to where they are today. I will write down what level of math they did by talking to their previous teachers to find out what they learned. I will then compare what they actually did to what they thought they did.

Lesson Plans For K-12 Teachers - 0 views

  •  
    My reasons for choosing this website are based on three simple points. One, it is a website that offers a lot or resources, not only lesson plans but themes, tips, worksheets ect. My second reason for choosing this website is not only does it offer a lot of tools a teacher can use, but it gives other sites-for information as well. For example, if you search Special Education in the tool bar it will give you options where you can read about disorders and disabilities, it also gives you the possibility to join groups such as, Special Education Support Groups. My last reason for choosing this website is because-it is HUGE. This website seems to be endless, in a very great way! It is super easy to maneuver around and figure things out, yet it gives so much information and ideas. It is a great website, I will take lesson plans, ideas, strategies off of the website, so it would be great for a parent or guardian to see what I use as a reference.

    This is a service that allows the user to keep track of the web pages they have visited, and keeps them in a usable order. The service is free. I can see this being beneficial in the classroom because the majority of student research is conducted with online tools. This service allows you to keep track of where your research has taken you, even if you don't bookmark every relevant page. It also will provide a safety net for novice researchers, who won't have to spend another hour looking back to see where they found a specific example or piece of information.

Classical Net - 0 views

  •  
    website focused on classical composers and repertoire. This website will be a good learning tool for my learning project because it has small biographies on each of the composers I have chosen to put on my list. It will give the students information and it will help them get started on the project. There are also other helpful parts of this website, like being able to look at literature and articles and links to other articles and websites. Students can learn more about pieces they play other than just who wrote them and how they sound.

The Ustream.TV Blog » Blog Archive » A Live Lesson on George Washington - Pul... - 0 views

    It's kind of like Skype but it's more for educational use. I was thinking about using this tool in my classroom and perhaps videoconferencing with my sister and mom who are also elementary music teachers. Maybe I could set it up so that we co-teach a lesson on music together, or maybe sing a duet with the other classroom of music students using the videoconferencing. It'd be fun for the kids to see other kids in music that are all the way in the southwest corner of the United States, since my sister teaches in Arizona. This would be something I'd definitely think about using.

    is a site where students can get a chance to review what they know using quizzes that apply to specific areas of the lesson for that week. Students will be able to view movies as well as review for tests, papers, and the general class for the week. The website is full of quizzes that grade as they answer questions. The website allows for multiple answers to be selected in case the first answer is incorrect, this allows for thought and reflection as to why their first answer was incorrect. Also movies and other basic tools are available for students to gain useful information regarding the course. The website is also full of great sources that can be used for writing papers

    This website is directed towards educators to use as a tool in the carrying out of a lesson plan. When using the exact link itself, the website it brings me to a page that seems very simple and basic, but when looking at the company that created it, it is very complex and thorough.

Online Mind Mapping - MindMeister - 0 views

  •  
    With Mind Meister, students are able to visually see the lessons we will accomplish throughout the week. Mind Meister is fun and interesting; I feel my students will stay engrossed in the fun designs that can be made with this website. I will also use this website to ask students previous knowledge about the lessons. For example, before starting my unit on dinosaurs and fossils, I will ask students to recap what they already know about them and incorporate this into a mind map.
