Understanding by Design - A simple guide to help with understanding.

trakAcPC was recommended to create enhanced Podcasts. It is similar to Garage Band.

Math games that are able to be downloaded as an app for ipads, and ipods, allows students to play these games on the go.

Great site for games and apps which is perfect for lower level math classes, or students who need extra practice on their basic skills.

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

Great resource for teaching students how to use the tools. Students would rather watch a video instead of listen to the teacher talk, and why not watch a video created by another student?

WOW! You could get lost in this site rather quickly. I'm often looking for "activating strategies" and usually discoverystreaming is my "go to" source for video clips. Now this site will be another resource for me to use!

Agree with Rich why not use other students to explain how to use the tool. I only think of the endless possibilities you could use to collaborate on different readings or assignments using the tool.

Most might already know this site but I think it is a great way to get students to learn without them knowing it!

When I was a regular ed teacher, I used this site a lot for a choice in centers. The students really enjoyed them. At that time you were limited in how many videos could be viewed per day. Is it still limited?

Great website. I use this as rewards for students. Not only do they enjoy playing the games but they are working as well. Win Win.

Interesting perspective.

Using Google Earth to discover Incredible Journeys!!

While a bit involved to get set up, this is a great resource to either provide background knowledge of the setting of a story OR as a review of what happened in the text. Limited text selections but could very well be an inspiration for you to make your own Lit trip!

As someone "new" to ipad, I found this site helpful and plan to explore it and refer to it more often.

This site has some good reading and many resources.  It is also inspiring for those that get lost in the daily grind of education.

Very interesting article. I found it perplexing that the "21st century survival skills" listed in the article are not those (in my opinion) that are taught and/or used very frequently in our classrooms. When will this era of teaching to the test end so we can get back to "real" teaching? (sorry, that may have sounded a bit bitter...)

I have used Skype to read aloud to another classroom on the other side of the county.  I will be using it this year to connect to a class in Hawaii and will try to use it for reading, science and social studies.

I think her book is great and has some interesting and thought provoking material.
