YouTube - Khan Academy on the Gates Notes - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Wacky Ruler - 2 views

  •  
    This math activity gives links for the teacher to print out a wacky ruler and some wacky worms for students to measure. The ruler is wacky because students actually have to estimate some of the measurements. Students can practice skills in measurement and estimation. When students are finished measuring they can come up to the site and put in what they think each worm's length is.

Import Google Calendar into Excel and Word - 1 views

  •  
    VERY COOL tool to get a human-readable version of the Google Calenar in Word. Many teachers are starting to use Google Calendar embedded in their web pages but Google truncates the events after so many are added. This tool will expand the box for any day that has multiple events added.

The Backwards Class -- THE Journal - 0 views

    • Tony Bollino
       
      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.
