Here's a google apps consent form for another district. It also references the Network Access Agreement (We call ours an AUP - or acceptable use form) which is an important practice that ensures students know they must use the network in accordance with guidelines already given.

I share on this site but it is a great place to find resources. It is the largest network of English speaking teachers in the world and they are launching in the US this year. When I saw this, I thought some of you on break might like to share. I like the site because the resources are free and it is curated.

This simple addition and subtraction game is wonderful for whiteboards. The pen tool allows students to show their workings before choosing an answer from the four given. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Maths

This is a video I made in just 2 minutes on my iPad. I didn't have to go to educreations' website first but did everything on my iPad. I cannot watch the web version, however as it is flash based. You can create public or private classes and easily share the videos. Very cool implementation of simple screencasting. This would be great for ll schools with 1:1 iPads. Need to get if you can view class content from their app without going to web. Very easy. Wow.

Nice tutorial. But if you'd done it as a screencast video and had uploaded it to YouTube, you would be able to view it in their HTML5 player.

A fun word game where players must move three letters to the top of the screen by using the letters above to spell words. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/English

"Historypin is a like a digital time machine that allows people to view and share their personal history in a totally new way.  It uses Google Maps and Street View technology and hopes to become the largest user-generated archive of the world's historical images and stories.  Historypin asks the public to dig out, upload and pin their own old photos, as well as the stories behind them, onto the Historypin map. Uniquely, Historypin lets you layer old images onto modern Street View scenes, giving a series of peaks into the past."

interesting site where you can "pin" a photo and tell the story

¿Cuál es la causa de que los jóvenes sean reacios a estudiar y de que la violencia aumente en la escuela? ¿A qué se debe que España se encuentre en el último tercio de la escala de la evaluación internacional (PISA) con respecto a la educación? Y ¿Porqué hay tantos profesores y maestras "quemadas"?.Son cuatro preguntas distintas, pero con una sola respuesta: El sistema de educación es obsoleto por que se basa en los conceptos de la era de la industrialización y no de la información y el conocimiento.Se fundamenta en el caduco paradigma cartesiano ("pienso, luego soy") en lugar del paradigma holístico ("soy, luego pienso").La obra no solamente le ayudará a entender las causas de la situación actual -en la que la educación se concentra casi exclusivamente en el desarrollo intelectual- sino que le ofrece modelos alternativos, más humanísticos que tienen en cuenta el desarrollo integral del SER de los jóvenes en todas sus facetas: lo físico, lo psíquico, lo social y lo espiritual. Como consecuencia, la autora desea animar al profesorado a liberarse de muchas reglas y decretos que les dificultan la vida y a confiar más en su observación e intuición.A pesar de que el libro está principalmente  destinado al profesorado, será también muy útil a las madres y padres que están buscando nuevos caminos, más saludables y eficaces de educar a sus hijos.
