The New York Times > Magazine > The Lessons of Classroom 506 - 0 views

  • ''Inclusion'' is the latest in a series of evolving strategies for special-needs education.
  • nstead of merely placing that child in a standard classroom for part or even most of the day and expecting him to keep up (a strategy often known as ''mainstreaming''), inclusion involves rearranging the class -- both the physical space and the curriculum -- to include him.
  • impaired and nonimpaired children can come to see one another as peers.
  •  
    This is a great report on inclusion in the classroom. The author spent a year chronicling the daily events and issues surrounding Classroom 506 at the Manhattan School for Children.

Art Education: Education Budgets for Art Education - 0 views

    • Jen Carroll
       
      Cutting Arts programs can actually cost schools MORE!
  • While school districts see the answer to their budget crisis as cuts to art programs, they do not foresee the problems that arise when students have no creative outlets in the classroom.
  • Disciplinary staff had to be added to deal with the new problems that had arisen. In most cases, the additional staff cost more than the art programs themselves

    Great, simple site that allows students to review the periodic table and possibly learn something new when they "interact" with it.

Wikispaces - Wikis for Teachers - 0 views

  •  
    I've used Wikispaces with middle school classes. Very interactive, easy to add students as members. You can add any kind of media, host student projects. I used to have students complete bell-ringers and closure on the message boards. The new Wiki Classroom adds other features. The site says, "We took the best parts of Wikispaces and added a newsfeed, realtime assessment, and a beautiful mobile experience. We think you'll love it."

Getting Started with Firefox extension - Diigo help - 0 views

  •  Feature Highlight: Highlights Diigo saves the day with "highlights". Highlights let you select the important snippets on a page and store them in your library with the page's bookmark. Let's try it. Just open a page, maybe one of your old-school bookmarks or one of your new cat bookmarks, and find the information on that page you actually care about. Select that important text. Got it? Okay, now put your hemet on, 'cause this might blow your mind! Click the highlight icon on the Diigo toolbar. It's the one with the "T" on a page with a yellow highlighter. You will notice that the selected text gets a yellow background. This means that the text has been saved in your library, and as long as you have the Diigo add-on the text will be highlighted on the page! How's that for easy?   Now you've highlighted the text. It will appear in your library within the bookmark for the page it is on. Go to your library and you can see how it works. If you're not sure how to get to your library, just click the second icon on the toolbar (Diigo icon to the left of the search bar) and then select "My Library »".
  • Sticky Notes on the Web What? I can put a sticky note on a web page? How? Oh, that's right! Diigo. Just right-click anywhere on the page and choose to "add a floating sticky note". Type up your note and choose "Post", then move the note anywhere on the page. You have to type a note first, before you move it where you want, otherwise there's nothing to move!
