    tech integration flow chart that recommends tools depending on how you answer the question "What do you want students to do?" Not ground-breaking, but very useful and well designed.

Newton Public Schools Technology Newsletter - 6 views

  •  
    This is a new publication that Newton has come out with highlighting the use of technology and ways in which it is seeking to create 21st century learners. Is has some nice articles and some descriptions of how certain technology is used in the classroom. I thought it might be interesting for us to look at how another district is tackling the same issues we are.

    very well-done newsletter. thanks for sharing it, joe.

  •  
    This looks like a really cool app to explore. You can pull up a student's work for parent-teacher conferences, assessment, or use as exemplars. How it works: With your smartphone or ipad, you can take a photo and tag it before you upload it and organize.

    Downloaded - I'll be giving it a try - I have used a notebook creating app for a similar purpose, but this seems to be designed for what I have been forcing the other app to do. I wish you could add voice recordings as I like to do running records, and fluency analysis after I take a picture of a page a student is reading.
  •  
    Take a picture with our app, and it's online in seconds Three Ring is a website that allows you to securely upload photos of student work. With Three Ring, you can sort by class, student, or custom tag to easily find the artifact you're looking for.

    joe- it looks you CAN add your own audio recording to each piece of student work. i could not find, however, any reference to an ability to upload files. so it looks like the only way to add student work it to take a picture of it.

Family Diversity Projects :: Frequently Asked Questions About Our Rental Exhibits - 0 views

  • the photos and text are ready to hang with wires on the back. If you have wallspace, you just hang the photos and text as you would any art show, using nails or pushpins. Photographs are framed with plexiglas covers and measure 16' x 20" (some vertical, some horizontal). Each exhibit consists of approximately 20 photographs. Then there are laminated text panels (thick lamination like a credit card) which measure ll" wide x 17" long. In addition there are quotes that are 11" wide and 8" long (hung horizontally) which you may want to use, too (but may not depending on space and situation). We can tell you exactly what to expect with your exhibit as each one is slightly different but the sizes are the same. Ideally, you would have at least 60 linear feet, but this isn't a requirement. You could double hang the photographs. Some groups divide up the 20 photographs and put them in different areas of a building as well. If you use tables, you will need small table easels to hold the photographs and you can put the text right on the tables. Floor easels can also work, and we've even seen music stands used. Some folks rent or borrow room dividers/portable bulletin boards and hang the exhibit on both the back and front of them. (They must have wood backs, not corkboard, as the photos weigh about 2 pounds and you need the nail to go in solidly). We are happy to talk to you about your individual situation and make suggestions, as we've seen it all!

      They've done our work for us! They describe all the material we need!
  • we often encourage groups to sponsor panel discussions, or a speaker, when the photo-text rental exhibit is at a particular location, or to use a diversity education trainer to prepare a group or school staff for an upcoming exhibition period.

Family Diversity Projects :: Technical Specifications for Our Exhibits - 0 views

  • Physical description Each exhibit comes with approximately 20 photographs. They are all museum quality framed with plexiglas covering, wires on back to hang. Size of each photograph framed is 16 inches by 20 inches and they weigh approximately 2 pounds. They can be hung on walls or portable room dividers, or placed on tables with bookstands (or table easels) or on floor easels. You can use all of them in one place, divide them into separate showings, or whatever works for your space needs. We can talk to you specifically about your individual situation. Each exhibit has different configurations of text, but generally each photograph has one or two pieces of long interview text 11 inches by l7 inches (vertical). They are thickly laminated and have string on the back to hang them on walls under or alongside their matching photograph. They can also be placed flat on a table if you use tabletop easels for the photographs, or hung off of floor easels. Many exhibits have additional "quotes" that are 11 inches (wide) by 8 inches (hung horizontally) and are written in larger fonts. These can be used in addition to the longer text, for people who might not read the full text, or in place of the longer text depending on the venue and situation (i.e. a conference). For schools, you might not need to use the quotes. It is up to each venue to decide how to use the text. In Our Family exhibit also has a K-2 text, which is also 11 x 8 inches and has a simple description of the family structure in age-appropriate language. Nothing To Hide just has 2-3 quotes per family, rather than a long text. For complete texts, the accompanying books have the longer interviews available. How to display the exhibits It's actually quite simple and doesn't take long to do. With all our photo-text rental exhibits, the photos and text are ready to hang with wires on the back. If you have wallspace, you just hang the photos and text as you would any art show, using nails or pushpins. Ideally, if you have a gallery space, you would have at least 60 linear feet, but this isn't a requirement at all. You could double hang the photographs. Some groups divide up the 20 photographs and put them in different areas of a building as well. If you use tables, you will need small table easels to hold the photographs and you can put the text right on the tables. Floor easels can also work, and we've even seen music stands used. Some folks rent or borrow room dividers/portable bulletin boards and hang the exhibit on both the back and front of them. (They must have wood backs, not corkboard, as the photos weigh about 2 pounds and you need the nail to go in solidly). We are happy to talk to you about your individual situation and make suggestions, as we've seen it all!

iOS 6 update bonuses for education ( not for tech heads) - 0 views

  • Finally, we can upload photos and videos from the camera roll on the iPad onto websites.
  • Sadly, you can only upload photos and videos. You still can’t upload documents, but it is a big improvement in the workflow.
  • Now that updating apps no longer need passwords, I can rely on the other teachers to do the updates themselves.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • read this article that explains tbe benefits of Guided Access for special needs students like those with autism and also to prevent cheating. 
  • iOS6 also allows you to enable Guided Access which can lock an app on the screen and turn off the home button as well as other features. This could offer lots of potential for making the iPad more usable in the classroom
  • I also love the fact that in Spotlight you can see the folder in which an app resides! YEA!
