Your school can get it's own channel here, too. Since someone bookmarked teachertube I thought you should also see this one. It's fast and I love the idea of getting your own channel.

Flipped: Trends, Tips, Tools, and Myths | Adventures with Technology - 0 views

shared by Melissa Wilson on 29 Jul 12 - No Cached

  I am also very curious about the flipped model for my classroom to an extent. It feels hard to trust that my kiddos/parents will practice their rote knowledge, ex. math facts, outside of school when you sometimes don't see homework come back all year from individual students. I have heard some interesting fixes to this, such as, having students perform the homework while you and the class do a fun activating activity such as a game, etc. This could work... but the question remains; what about kids that have no support at home, need help, and you can't give it to them because you are busy activating the thinking of 20+ other students? This is also a problem with the current model of education as it stands, those students that don't receive supports at home need more attention, we are only one person, and can't make up for all the lost attention/time at home the way we'd like to. So how can you leverage the technology to help those kids and give them more supports?

They did say that the students connect better when it is their own teacher. You would miss that connection if you just found videos from other people.
- Ryan Donnelly on 29 Jul 12
  
  Finding videos of other teachers doing your flipped lesson would feel impersonal, tend to alienate those students that are already weary of being connected in school, and most likely just have irrelevant material included amongst the important content. You can't tell a student, "Oh just ignore minute 2:30 to 2:45, they went out on a confusing tanget for a minute" because of their personality/teaching style. You NEED to have your own tangents/teaching style. It's what connects your students to you!

iPad Technology in Speech Therapy: Overview - 0 views

shared by Charles Black on 15 Aug 12 - No Cached

Charles Black on 15 Aug 12

This blog shares an overview of using an iPad in speech therapy, and gives links to other resources to look at to get more ideas about using technology with speech therapy. I went through speech therapy in elementary school and middle school, and believe it could have been much more fun and effective if technology was implemented better. However, those resources did not exist in 2000. This is a good start though for learning more about the iPad technology for this field.

The beginning of cheap failure.
- L Butler on 06 Jun 12
  
  Great concept = cheap failure. We have the opportunity for almost everything we create to be a work in progress. You can always learn and build upon your initial attempts. This should give people more freedom to try without the feeling of absolute and unrecoverable failure.

  Not just cheap failure but also instant failure, which is important to our students as well. We talk about rapid prototyping in the program and some in my classroom, which I think is an important note about this technology and an important concept for our students to grasp/be able to deal with. It's a vehicle for learning.

  'instant failure' - great phrase. It is important that they can make mistakes in a safe environment and have the guidance to learn from the mistakes.

Free Technology for Teachers: 47 Alternatives to Using YouTube in the Classroom - 2 views

shared by Charles Black on 12 Jun 12 - No Cached

Charles Black on 12 Jun 12

This article talks about many different resources available to teachers to use in the classroom when YouTube is not available as some school districts block it. The only one I have used is Hulu because I enjoy catching up on television shows online, but looking over this list makes me realize there are many tools for showing videos to students. I think it would be easier to use one of these instead of showing an old video tape on the television for several reasons including you could post the links online so students who miss class can watch them which is not always possible when you use regular videos.

Great lists. I have used a few of these sites. I have watched Ted Talks several times, but I tend to use it for my personal growth rather than in the classroom. How Stuff Works and The Future Channel are both great sites to use in the classroom. I have used both as a launch into a lesson. I have The Future Channel set up to notify me when new videos are available.

I wish the title didn't say "alternatives to youtube" but rather, "47 video sites - OTHER THAN Youtube." Youtube is powerful for its content, most of which is not available on the other sites. This harkens back to when schools would say, "We block youtube but we have teacher tube." It's not about having a 'tube.' It's about the content. Maybe I'm picking too much, but it drives me up a wall! :-)

They can create their own animated characters and demonstrate how these newly created characters might interact with other characters or their environment. There are a vast array of associated tools to help make this type of activity a routinely implemented element of the instruction process, including publication capability, templates, rubrics and much more.

Thanks for the article Neil. It was a great read. I noticed the biggest issue at the school for me was accessibility due to cost. I never thought of a lot of the others, but looking back, I know that there are many devices in the school that are blocked from being used because of the network capacities.
