    All kinds of online books, even some the kids read for Brit Lit. Great for use with Read the Words site - just paste the text, and create an audio file for those students who are audio learners, or need to improve comprehension

    A perfect way to count up, count down, record times, and include a buzzer. You can change the size of the numbers and otherwise play with it. If you are an elementary teacher, lesson plans are included for learning to use a stopwatch, and even connects with three different mathematical textbooks.

  • The student participants in my study engaged in writing and reading through a variety of complex and rich interactions. They posted their own work on their blogs, commented on the work of their peers, linked to each other’s work, and initiated numerous conversations in the class blogosphere.
  • the students would not respond well to a teacher who enters the class blogosphere only to assign work or to evaluate their writing.
  • Only two days after I asked the students to compose a written response to the work we had covered, they began to use their blogs not only to brainstorm but also to request feedback from their peers and engage them in discussions about the work they were doing for this assignment
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • - the students had turned to the community of their peers to request feedback. Then, I realized that none of the children asked me for feedback. It didn’t take long to realize that, a) they didn’t see me as a contributor in the community, and b) they associated me with corrections and grades.
  • . But this experience helped me realize that we don’t spend enough time providing feedback for our students and that most of what teachers consider teaching and assessment consists of marking and correcting student work. This kind of practice does not engage our students in those rich interactive processes of talking about their work and their ideas.

21stCenturySchools

shared by Melissa Seifman on 14 Jan 09 - Cached
  • The central theme of our BBQ flavored conversation was t he challenge of getting reluctant teachers to buy in to the spirit and practice of a 21st century school.  Since the principal was at the table, I suggested that the use of digital networked content be part of the evaluation expectations for teachers, and that it needed to go much MUCH deeper than just saying, “We want you to do one technology-infused unit this year.”  I suggested that all relics of learning and teaching that are shared, must be digital.

      I totally agree. A 21st century school, and instructors integrate real technology into their lessons. It is no longer sufficient to call a lesson with internet research and use of powerpoint or other office tools a "technology" lesson.
  • Students would be working, but in the same spirit of the work they engage in when playing many of the video games that they spend time with. Their work would be such that they are constantly asking questions, and are in constant need of information and collaborative arrangements for inventing solutions
  • They will also need to dedicate much time to responding to discussion forums, occasional synchronous chat sessions, grading projects, and maintaining their online classrooms.

      Online classrooms are a must I think.. Today's students are to be much more interested and engaged by online learning environments than traditional text-book/lecture based ones because they have literally grown up in it. Their way of thinking has changed.

  • Libraries will be filled with computers or Kindles rather than books. It will be hard to find the teachers since the students will be directing their own education

      Yes! Students having a buy in to what they are learning...Librarys that are no longer book and magazine repositories, but rich media centers with many different real technologies available... We'll just forget the part about.. *cough* funding the technology...
  • When the community looks at the school, they see learning — not a school.

      I especially love the last quote of this highlight - when the community looks at a school, they see learning - not a school. Communities need to be able to be just as activily involved..
  • Students don’t think of 21century learning - they live it
