Digital Textbooks: Three Simple Shifts Can Speed Up Adoption | Powerful Learning Practice - 0 views

  • Shift #1  – Let’s make the curriculum map the curriculum map. That’s not a textbook’s job.
  • Better yet, can we build our curriculum maps to be digital frameworks, on which we can hang the additional digital resources that we use to help teach our students, standards and content?
  • then our coordinators need to be good at more than just instructional implementation. They also need expertise in publishing on the Web and in resource development and distribution
  •  
    Ideas for making the shift to digital texts. The Internet is the best source of content that's ever been. The challenge for schools and districts and parents and famillies and municipalities is getting that information into the hands of our students. It made sense to hand them a book when the experts were far away and the libraries were scarce and only had a few copies of everything. But it doesn't have to be that way now. In fact, in many ways, it's not.

How to do research: A great site for classroom use! (RT @russeltarr) - 0 views

  •  
    Great interactive visual for doing research.
  •  
    Great visual on research, appropriate for younger grades (probably best for 3-8 but could be used in HS). Though it is geared towards younger students it would be a great way to introduce research to freshmen or struggling students.

Unfit for Democracy? - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • I don’t think so. Moreover, this line of thinking seems to me insulting to the unfree world. In Egypt and Bahrain in recent weeks, I’ve been humbled by the lionhearted men and women I’ve seen defying tear gas or bullets for freedom that we take for granted. How can we say that these people are unready for a democracy that they are prepared to die for?
  • The common thread of this year’s democracy movement from Tunisia to Iran, from Yemen to Libya, has been undaunted courage.
  •  
    Scott I totally agree with you. What has been going on in these countries is nothing short of inspiring.

Smarthistory: a multimedia web-book about art and art history - 1 views

  •  
    Smarthistory.org is a free, not-for-profit, multi-media web-book designed as a dynamic enhancement (or even substitute) for the traditional art history textbook. Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker began smARThistory in 2005 by creating a blog featuring free audio guides in the form of podcasts for use in The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Soon after, we embedded the audio files in our online survey courses.
