Free Music Archive - 0 views

  •  
    The Free Music Archive is an interactive library of high-quality, legal audio downloads. The Free Music Archive is being directed by WFMU, the most renowned freeform radio station in America. Radio has always offered the public free access to new music. The Free Music Archive is a continuation of that purpose, designed for the age of the internet. Every mp3 you discover on The Free Music Archive is pre-cleared for certain types of uses that would otherwise be prohibited by outdated copyright law. Are you a podcaster looking for pod-safe audio? A radio or video producer searching for instrumental bed music that won't put your audience to sleep? A remix artist looking for pre-cleared samples? Or are you simply looking for some new sounds to add to your next playlist? The Free Music Archive is a resource for all that and more, and unlike other websites, all of the audio has been hand-picked by established audio curators.

  • Welcome to the Gates Ideas website. Look around to find information about my workshops, resources, and other services that I provide. I bring a lifetime of experience in education and a passion for all things technology to the table to help you find and use the right tool for the job. It’s all about getting the kids actively engaged in their learning. I demand a world class education for all children. Say it with me - "I demand a world class education for all children!"

      I think this is very profound
    • L Butler
       
      I agree - all children deserve a world class education. Technology is a great way to engage students ... of all ages, including graduate students.

      World class education for all.....I wonder if I will see this in my lifetime?
    • N Butler
       
      Actively engaged is the way to go. Having students become the educators and the teacher the facilitor is awesome.

      Jim is a great teacher!
  • One of our goals is to encourage and provide training so that teachers see technology as an enhancement and not a replacement for their current technique.
    • Mr. R Riter
       
      This is a great goal for merging technology & education.

Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning - 0 views

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of technology use in teaching and learning brings to mind Albert Einstein’s statement: "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted". When we begin to consider the impact and effectiveness of technology in the teaching and learning process, obvious questions arise: "How do we measure effectiveness? Is it time spent in a classroom? Is it a function of test scores? Is it about learning? Or understanding?"
    • L Butler
       
      I hope it is not based on the function of a test score ... but sadly that is often the direction of education.

    Emerging Technologies for Learning. Good resource.

ISTE | NETS for Teachers 2008 - 0 views

  • Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers: a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. d. model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning.

      How many of your teachers are capable of doing this? Do you honestly feel that it's important that they do this, or is it sufficient to focus on NCLB?
    • Mrs Huber
       
      I am hoping I become proficient enough in some of these "new" technology ideas that I can host after school learning sessions for teachers who want to also explore these items. Of course, there will be no pay for it. LOL
    • Vicki Barr
       
      Some of our teachers are capable of this. I think it is important that teachers try - the teachers that are willing to make mistakes in front of the students - learn more - and the students help (and they enjoy helping!)
    • Scott Brewer
       
      My question is how does this fit into NCLB? Can we legislatively work to blend the two?!
    • Emma Clouser
       
      We really can't ignore NCLB at this point, so I think the question is how do teachers mesh the two together?
    • Mary Richards
       
      Communication with parents via e-mail is so much easier than trying to connect on the phone, but it can become overwhelming sometimes. I spend a great deal of time composing and revising e-mails to parents, careful of what I put in writing.
    • Beth Hartranft
       
      TIME - we need time to do this!
    • anonymous
       
      Probably not all the teachers; however, to prepare our children for the world we should all be putting our efforts toward these goals.
    • Mrs Huber
       
      @Beth- I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Amy Soule
       
      I tried to get a teacher to collaborate on having the students write persuasive book reviews to be posted online (either or Moodle, or Destiny, or whatever), and was told we could certainly do that, AFTER the PSSA tests were over. That's where the focus is! We need to use the techology to teach the basics!
    • Mrs Huber
       
      @Amy- I agree..the question is HOW to do it?
  • develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools.
    • L Butler
       
      This is a powerful tool ... but as a teacher you have to be able to give up some of the control. The spontanous learning opportunities involving technology are enriching. My 6th graders especially ask lots of cultural questions, and we look them up online together or we find an expert to ask.

    Definitely know that several of my students could still benefit from the basic skills these games would provide.

Phys.Org Mobile: Laptops in school classes improve scores - 0 views

  •  
    This article shows that students are doing better academically in classes where laptops have been implemented. The article believes the using laptops during school helps increase concentration for students, as well as motivation. I know some classes even in college banned laptops, but I believe we all learn differently and should have the opportunity to use whatever resources we can if it will help improve our educational experience.
