    Blown away by this example of a student using Blogger to reflect on what they have learned in school from 2007 - 2010. How amazing for a student to reflect back on all they have learned. Just imagine students doing this throughout middle or high school and then commenting on each other's progress. A student reflecting on what they have learned is so powerful! The format using Blogger is clean and simple.

    The format for Learn a Language is the same for all eight languages. Users select a language then choose if they want to study individual words or phrases. Whichever they choose the format that follows is the same. Users can study flashcards then play a game called Lingo Dingo. Lingo Dingo requires players to accurately type a word or phrase before it disappears. The object of the game is to construct a dingo by earning points for correctly typed words and phrases.

  • Clickers help instructors actively engage students during the entire class period, gauge their level of understanding of the material being presented, and provide prompt feedback to student questions.
  • Another benefit of clickers over traditional active learning methods is that they follow the principles of game-based learning.
  • Best Practices for Implementing Clickers in the Classroom*
  • The best way to help instructors is to provide mentoring and support from other instructors using clicker systems.

    Interesting study about the use of Clickers in the classroom.  This study does not show statistically significant differences between Clickers and Traditional Discussion but the perceptual survey indicates students prefer using the SRS system.

  • You can insert sound in prezis in FLV flash video or SWF flash format.  Why do you need to insert sound in video format to prezis? Since Prezi doesn't currently have direct sound file support, you should convert sound files to FLV or SWF format to upload in Prezi. Please read the step-by-step description on how to do this, and when to choose which file format.
  • You can insert sound in prezis in FLV flash video or SWF flash format.
  • Prezi eats sound in FLV format. Sound files cannot be converted to FLV, since it is a video format. Solution: convert your sound file to a video file. Then you can easily convert your video file to FLV.

    Sal Khan has been teaching via YouTube for over two years and has Bill and Melinda Gates helping him run his Academy.  This is a great model for instruction which frees up teachers to be me.  Students at  Bullis are watching the videos in advance of class to learn the skill, then come to class to practice.  The teacher spends his time coaching and helping. Advanced students work ahead and do enrichment.

    This is a site that encourages problem solving. Students select "missions" to complete in the real world and then then post the solutions. It's a facinating way to get students to be real problem solvers.

      This could easilly be done using ActivInspire.
  • What's the approach? The students watch pre-recorded lectures the night before the class, when homework problems are traditionally done, then spend the time in class getting answers to questions, working on additional problems with partners, and getting one-on-one assistance from the teacher. No more lectures in class
  • How Backward Learning Works Roshan uses Microsoft PowerPoint to recreate problems from each chapter of the textbook. She turns on Camtasia and begins talking her way through the solution to the problem. "I'm just capturing my screen and my voice," she said. The recordings, which she edits and posts to a school-hosted site, a Camtasia-hosted site, as well as to iTunes, run between 10 and 30 minutes long. So far she's made 32 of them, covering six chapters in the book.
