KTI 2015 TeachMeet Projects and activities

Wikispace used for the 2010 summit.

Check out the book trailers that my 6th grade students made this year using Movie Maker. Also, we have "bookcasts" separated by genre. For both the book trailers and podcasts, students can find a book designated with either a speaker sticker or a movie reel. They then can go to the computers to either view the trailer or listen to the podcast. It has really sparked the students interests in books. The trailer link is at the bottom of the page--don't miss it--it is the best part :)

Livescribe in the Classroom: The Pulse smartpen Revolutionizes Learning

"The most powerful and ample resource for change in education is teachers' own expertise. Yet, teachers are regularly overstepped when it comes to leading school improvement. In the United States, less than one-fourth of teachers feel that they have great influence over school decisions and policies in seven different areas, as noted in the National Center for Educational Statistics' Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) database for 2003-04 reported by the National Staff Development Council (NSDC) in Professional Learning in the Learning Profession: A Status Report on Teacher Development in the U.S. and Abroad."

"If you browse or read a lot on the web, we believe you will find Diigo indispensable. Diigo is two services in one -- it is a research and collaborative research tool on the one hand, and a knowledge-sharing community and social content site on the other." http://www.diigo.com/about Not only can you bookmark sites, but you can share them to specific people, groups, lists, and everyone in the world. You can highlight the pages and add sticky notes for yourself, your group or the public. You can easily capture and annotate images on the web to save to your virtual library. And that's not all... check out the about page and the video below to learn more about Diigo:

Vialogues (which derives from "video dialogues") is an online discussion platform that permits videos to act as powerful teaching resources and the conversation starters. It provides a space for users to hold meaningful, dynamic time-stamped discussions about videos. Excellent resource for educators and others interested in using popular culture resources of all sorts as conversation starters with students...

This looks like a promising resource for getting students to think critically about the media they consume...
