    Cloud based document conversion. Perfect for making sure students can create documents that each other can access.

    Ryan this is a great tool, and one that I could use with my students. Giving students the ability to share documents through the web is a great way to promote group projects and the team concept.

    I have to do a lot of file conversion as apart of my subject area, especially Drafting and Design. I also have students who have projects that require file conversion as well. This resource has proven to be invaluable as it has nearly every file format you can possibly think of and it does all the conversion in the cloud. Therefore, it is not slowing down your computer and it will email you when it is finished.

shared by Megan Skiles on 06 Oct 15 - No Cached
  • The Instructional Practice Guide includes coaching and lesson planning tools to help teachers and those who support teachers to make the Key Shifts in instructional practice required by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).   In order for teachers, colleagues, and instructional leaders to have meaningful and productive conversations about instructional goals and outcomes, there must be shared expectations regarding lesson planning and observation. These tools provide common criteria framed around the Key Shifts required by the CCSS that can be used to facilitate conversations between teachers and coaches about aligning content and instruction. By using these tools to reflect on practice, clear connections can be made between Common Core-aligned lesson planning and classroom instruction--conversations which can supplement information from other established observation protocols that focus on planning and preparation,  classroom management and environment, and professional responsibilities.

    This website just comes to show how many resources are actually out there for teachers to use and improve their teaching. This website is all about helping teacher achieve the core and in the classroom. There is administrative tools for coaching teachers in instructing the core. Videos of classrooms that follow the core . It seems very similar to the Teaching Channel just this one has a different emphasis.

    I have this same article in my library! I has some good information/points on what teachers should strive for to establish a student centered classroom.
  • Anna Kron on 12 Oct 15
     
    This is one of the best lists I have seen for 21st-century teaching! I think that this article could be used in any classroom as ways for teachers to transform their practice. Some of the ideals I think are a little hard to achieve... for example, going completely paperless would be difficult, particularly in the early years when students need to learn handwriting. But this is a great resource for teachers, regardless, to get ideas on how to challenge themselves and adapt their teaching to the needs of their learners in today's age. I am not aware of any other list that is as comprehensive as the one you shared; I like this list!
  • Megan Skiles on 12 Oct 15
     
    This is a great article, I have many articles from Edutopia bookmarked as well. Any teacher could learn from this list of characteristics and suggestions. Although I do not think that as a future teacher I would be able to follow all of these I believe many are possible.

  • In planning the conference, the students first had to develop a conference mission statement.  The conference, by students and for all, is committed to: Fostering a better understanding of how students use technology and to engage students, teachers and administrators in a conversation about technology. Assisting teachers and administrators in understanding how students use technology both in and out of the classroom. Strengthening the relationship between students, teachers, and administrators about technology in the classroom.

    The CoolCatTeacher is an education blog that focuses in on technology. Blogger, Vicki Davis writes an article about the very FIRST ever student-led technology conference (back in Jan, 2015).

  • We’ve theorized before that learning through social networks is the future. 
  • Use twitter’s search bar–search for your what you’re interested in learning more about. This isn’t as staright-forward as a Google search, for example, but you’ll get a better sense of the kinds of information people are sharing.
  • Know your hashtags. They’re a valuable tool to use to follow and participate in conversations on certain topics and themed twitter chats.

    I use Twitter for my own personal and professional use, but I need to do a better job of using it with my students. The article suggested having students tweet their thesis statement in writing class, which gave me some ideas to use in my classroom. I also liked the idea of having students participate in tweetchats with experts and professionals in the field.
  • Amanda Eller on 10 Oct 15
     
    Sarah, I've been trying to use Twitter more for professional use. I think it's a great way to share resources. My biggest concern is that my students may be too young to use Twitter, but I do have parents that follow me. I once did a field experience with the Technology Teacher of the Year in 2012, and he tweeted out multiple times a day! He would take pictures of students "in action" and tweet it out to let the parents know what was going on in class. He also tweets out many resources to parents so that they can get more involved in their child's education. The student's even took pictures on the iPad and tweeted them out (and have I mentioned that these are 3rd GRADERS?!) I have never seen Twitter used in such a wonderful way! These students had technology in their hands every single day and were completely engaged. It was fascinating and inspiring. Amanda

    Sarah, Thank you for sharing this article. Twitter exploded last year in my district, especially at the high school, as a form of communication for everyone. The middle school, where I am primilary at, is slowly catching on. However, I LOVE Twitter as a professional resource. I think it is like a social bookmarker. I can share the websites, and then go back when I have time to explore them more. I agree this can be used in my library to be an effective communication tool for both students and staff. I believe this resource can be used for both students and staff, but they have different purposes. As a professional, using hashtags can be very benefical to find information. It can also be a great way to network, using the Twitter Chats that go on all around the United States and the world. Students can use this to communicate. For example, the students wanted to have a blue out in honor of a student who has cancer at the football game last night. They asked the opposing team to join them in wearing blue to honor a young man who is fighting for his life. They did, and they donated an additional $425 because they found that information on Twitter! I am not aware of other resources that do that same thing. I believe Twitter is unique with their limit of 140 characters and the strong hashtag movement they begun all throughout the internet world.
  • Sarah Ebener on 10 Oct 15
     
    Emma, are you in Clinton? I heard about the "blue out"! I like to use Twitter for mainly professional use, but that varies from anywhere between retweeting professional articles to reminding the study body to buy their yearbooks. I try to throw in some personal stuff every now and again just to show that their teacher is an actual human, too. :)

Kids Will Be Kids: 8 Easy Strategies to Engage Students | - 2 views

  • 2. Tea Party I have no idea where this name came from as there is no tea served, but the idea is a fun one. Give every student a quote on a related topic. For example, during Fahrenheit 451 the quotes relate to conformity and nonconformity. When we read Lord of the Flies, the quotes are all about human nature. The students have to read their quote to as many classmates as they can in 5 minutes. Then we have a follow up conversation as a class about the quotes they found most interesting and powerful. Just the act of standing up and moving around makes this activity fun for students.
  • 5. Crowdsource Instead of Lecturing It’s not fun for students to sit still, listen and take notes for a prolonged period of time. I’ve tried to replace some direct instruction with crowdsourcing. Instead of telling students about Shakespeare’s sonnets or life during the Great Depression, I allow them to work in groups with their devices to research information and share it with the class.
  • Storytime Every week I ask students to sit on the floor for a children’s story. At first they think I am crazy, but they love this routine. Regardless of the subject you teach, there are awesome picture books on a related topic. I’d make time to read to your students.

    good ideas for high-interest, engaging lesson activities
  • Alexis Johns on 11 Oct 15
     
    These strategies are great suggestions. I especially like the idea of four corners. I feel like I could use it when I have students do current technology articles. I also like tea party, that would be a great way to introduce a careers research assignment, giving each student a basic definition of a career in the field and having the "tea party" before they choose their topic. I feel that this is geared towards teachers looking to improve their classroom and shift more toward a learner-centered room. As the blog states, it is also a great resource for teachers who have especially active students.
  • Tyler Schaben on 11 Oct 15
     
    I was pleasantly surprised by this article! When I first clicked on it I expected it to be elementary based like so many engagement articles are. But then I realized it was for secondary so good for me! The main thing I pulled out of this article was the idea for crowd sourcing. It seems like a simple concept but I had never thought of it before. I think this is a great resource for teachers and I plan on using the crowd sourcing technique on Tuesday!

    Hi Dave, I think that this is a great resource for any teacher who is considering getting into the educational realm of Twitter. I agree that Twitter can give teachers a refreshing look at education, away from the everyday politics in a building. I've really been enjoying finding new resources and finding inspiring educators. Great article!

    In high school I never would have thought that Twitter could be used as a resource in the classroom, but it mostly definitely can be. It's a great tool for both teachers and students as a sharing platform and connecting with others. I will use Twitter in my future classroom and hope that other teachers will be on board with the idea, too!

    I have experienced twitter use in the classroom numerous times through my experience during college. I think it is a great way to utilize social media in a safe way. Students can easily share information because they use twitter all the time. I think this website could be used by both teachers and students because they will need to know how to use twitter in the classroom. I defiantly want to use Twitter in my classroom in the future.

    1. I can see myself using Twitter in my classroom in the future. I am still overcoming my hesitation to use social media in an educational setting...I think it is just going to take time and continued practice! :-) 2. The resource deals mostly with teacher use, but the tool could be used with teachers and students. 3. There are many different social media tools that could be used with students. The important part is selecting tools that are appropriate for the audience.
