findingDulcinea | Online Guides | Internet Library | Web Resources - 0 views

  •  
    This is a nice web newsletter, full of very practical classroom tools for educators. Dulcinea is a character from the Man of La Mancha (Don Quixote), who had troubles finding the good in herself. This appears to be an effort to find the 'goodie' in instructional technology resources.

Scrible - 3 views

    This site allows you to read an online document and highlight the information you are reading. It also allows you to take notes.

    It looks like this site has a lot of features similar to Diigo. Do you notice any features that would make you prefer one over the other? I think it could be used by students and teachers alike. I could especially see it used by students doing research and I like the collaboration/sharing features. I could see myself using it to share informational text to supplement the fiction we are reading in English class. I can highlight the info I want them to pay attention to or read my annotations or put questions in the annotations. I can also see using it to share texts with my staff members.

    I really like this website! I use my SmartBoard often in class to highlight text to demonstrate main idea or important details. I would like to see what this looks like for students. It would be a great teaching tool for students to find main idea or practice researching for a paper. It would be very beneficial for teachers to see how students are highlighting main ideas in texts while also taking notes. Have you used this before? And how successful was it for students?

    Sarah - I am new to using both Diigo and Scrible, so I did not realize all of the similarities between the two. I really like how you can highlight things with Scrible. Are you able to do the same with Diigo? Those were some of the same reasons I thought this would be a useful tool as well.

    This will be a good blog to read to hear a proponent of technology and school reform.

    Good find! Is this the author of one of our texts for class? His feedback about educational reform is powerful! This is definitely a teacher resource, and something I will be referring to during the school year when I feel alone in my ideas for change. Misery loves company?

Kahoot! | Game-based blended learning & classroom response system - 1 views

  •  
    This is a web-based quiz type game that allows up to 30 students to respond to questions you made. The game only allows for multiple choice type questions. Players earn points based on speed and accuracy of their responses. This is a great tool for student engagement and reviewing terms/concepts in class.

    Kenton - This looks like a fun site! I can see it motivating students. It reminds me somewhat of exittix.com. One thing I like about Kahoot! is the opportunity to have students be the creators of the quiz. One limitation is the multiple choice format. It would be hard to assess/practice higher order thinking skills through multiple choice questions in a literature class (which is what I taught).

    This tool allows teachers to create review games, polls, and quizzes that students can access with cell phones. It turns the cell phone into a "buzzer" so that students can earn points by answering correctly and quickly. It posts the tops scores after every round which leads to some healthy competition.
