The School Is Flat | The Moss-Free Stone - 0 views

    "Teaching is a noble call that suffers when we practice in isolation and flourishes when we work together, and at no time in history have we had the tools we do today that allow us to work together for the good of our children. When we take the time to learn and embrace these tools, we grow as professionals-I can testify to that wholeheartedly."

    Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. Again, the mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. I have used each tool to produce an example of Dominoe story and links are provided, where available, to examples by other people.

Don't try to control it « The Thinking Stick - 0 views

    Start with the idea and apply the tool. If you start with the tool first…you have a lesser chance of effecting learning. This happens to me quite often. A teacher will come to me and say "I want to blog." OK, that's great, but why? What are you thinking? Why do you want to blog? What do you know about a blog?

» Would You Please Block? Bud the Teacher - 0 views

  • What we’ve decided is that we will no longer use the web filter as a classroom management tool.  Blocking one distraction doesn’t solve the problem of students off task – it just encourages them to find another site to distract them.  Students off task is not a technology problem – it’s a behavior problem.

      A brilliantly worded statement that needs to be said!
  • This opens up possibilities for students and staff using websites for instructional purposes that in the past were blocked due to broad category blocks.  It requires that staff and students manage their technology use rather than relying on a third party solution that can never do the job of replacing teachers monitoring students.
