Very helpful when i was trying to igure out how to embed in my website.

Cloud based wizard for creating digital stories. Features script creation, voice recording, image loading etc. Free from the University of Virginia.

Digital Storyteller is a web-based tool that offers teachers and students frictionless access to digital images and materials that enable them to construct compelling personal narratives. Digital Storyteller was developed as an initiative of Primary Access. You can enter this site use guest login without registration. 

Free literary and reference materials. Over 30,000 titles available. It was mentioned in "Integrating Technology and Digital Media in the Classroom" (Shelly, Gunter, Gunter 2010), but I thought it was important enough to make another note of.

I did not know until EME5050 that digital storytelling was such a prevalent theme in medical education.

A great read about technology integration in the classroom and using technology in general.

"The goal was to discuss what this virtual content might look like, how to manage it all once we have accumulated a large amount of digital resources, and how Common Core standards may impact this process."

ALIMA students: Teaching learning as a skill- not a consequence

This was actually introduced to me recently by my daughter's preschool teacher. Sure I had seen the commercials- but I had no idea it is FREE for teachers! I shared it with my Kindergarten team and we are all in love. So many lessons can be used on the smartboard, and you can create individual learning paths for each child.

In an attempt to examine dialogue within a second grade classroom, students were encouraged to participate in whole-class mathematics discussions without raising their hands before speaking. Beneficial social and sociomathematical norms developed in place of this traditional social norm. Effects of this change on the dialogue and written mathematical explanations of a class of second grade students are described. Focus was placed on student participation in whole-class discussions. The study helped to determine the effects of student-centered dialogue on students' mathematical explanations and justifications as demonstrated in the students' discussions, participation, and written expression related to their mathematics learning.

I thought this was interesting since last week a lot of our complaints were the budget. I am still searching through the 320 page document, but it seems that our request for technology went down this year from last! Like Dr. K said though, "don't complain about what you can't change!"

This article is dated, but was intriguing to read as it shows the shift in teaching practices as more minority students are in classrooms. Collaboration between UCF College of Education Professors and students and Midway Elementary in Seminole County.

SCPS has developed a digital learning plan for their schools. This web page was listed under the "Parents" section on their website. The purpose of this document/website is to inform parents of their plan for digital learning.

This report is old and I could not find the entire article, but after reading the abstract it was interesting to hear why they chose to use a portfolio of our work.

This site offered great information on media ratings. I have used this in middle school open house as a closing to remind parents that the ratings are on the box for a reason. I also let them know that what their students "play" at home shows up in school in there writing assignments, art work and converstaions. I was able to request bookmarks on year at a very low cost.

Some parents and teachers using media on the class may not be familiar with ESRB ratings. This site helps to clarify media content issues. The site also helps to inform parents. A nice add on to any educator website link list. I was able to get them to send me a set of bookmarks for my library a couple of years ago. :)

Open Office is an open software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.

I used open office before and was so grateful for it! Very comparable to Microsoft.

Edheads uses most of the FCAT 4th grade vocabulary. This was a terrific review game for my 4th graders and my wife's fifth graders.

Good activity for understanding symmetry and for challenging those students who finish early.

I love this site I could not stop drawing it was so much fun. Thanks

This is a great resource for Early Childhood Education because it has all kinds of supplemental and thematic units you can use.

I thought this was a great site as well. I can;t wait to explore it further.
