FlickrStorm. Search on Flickr with some Magic - 0 views

  •  
    Flickr Storm is similar to flickrCC. You simply run a search, click on a thumbnail and the photo appears on the right. Make sure to have your students click on the advanced search feature which allows them to limit their searches to Non-Commercial and Share Alike photos. One nice feature about Flickr Storm is the "Add to Tray." You can add several photos to your tray and then when you open your tray, all the photos are there in large sized format along with the attributions.

Shoulder-to-Shoulder Instructional Media: My Tagging Screencast at NTEN! - Beth's Blog:... - 0 views

  • Step 1: Discuss Tagging Policy Tagging can get sloppy – spelling errors, verbs v.s. nouns, etc. You probably noticed that about my tag stream. This can make trouble down the road if you want to publish your resources to a web site using an RSS. So, come up with a few standard tags. But don’t get bogged down – you’re not creating a formal taxonomy, rather it’s a folksonomy. Also, people can add whatever additional tags they want so they can remember the item as well as a description. If you want to understand more about tag strengths and weaknesses, I recommend the following articles:      Tags Strengths, Weaknesses And How To Make Them Work by Robin Good   Tips for Effective Tagging from TechSoup   Tips for Tidying Tags by Alexandra Samuel

  • Tags Users add tags to describe online items, such as images, videos, bookmarks or text. These tags are then shared and sometimes refined. For a more detailed definition of tags, see the Wikipedia entry here. Here are the examples I showed you in the screencast, using the tag “sharpie.” Photos Web Pages Event Videos People For an excellent primer on tagging, see Andy Carvin’s PBS LearningNow essay.

Extreme Planet Makeover - 0 views

  •  
    How to integrate Extreme Planet Makeover into the classroom: Extreme Planet Makeover is a neat simulation where students can design a custom planet. As they create their own custom planet, they will begin to notice what makes a planet habitable or not, and the unique features that must be in place for life. Extreme Planet Makeover can be used with the whole class using a projector-connected computer or interactive whiteboard. Invite each student to make an adjustment to the planet. With each adjustment, students can describe the ways that the planet has changed. The finished class planet can be used as the base for a creative writing prompt. Set up Extreme Planet Makeover as a center activity where students can create a planet and download to save. The finished planets can be shared on a class photo stream, website, or blog where students can compare and contrast the features of each planet. In a one to one or computer lab setting, students can each create a planet that they use for a compare/contrast to an actual planet in the solar system and as a creative writing prompt. Who lives on this planet? What galaxy is their planet in? How do you get there? Tips: One of the features I really appreciate about the Extreme Planet Makeover is the explanations that pop up over each planet attribute. Students learn about how atmosphere, size, different stars, the distance from the star, and the age effect a planet.

Children of World War 2 « Ed Tech Ideas - 0 views

  •  
    From the BBC, Children of World War 2 is a great resource for kids who want to get a better understanding of what life was like for children during World War 2.  History lessons will usually focus on the major events of the war: The Nazis  invade Poland, the German Blitz, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, D-Day, Auschwitz, etc. The human side of the story is often missed and that's where Children of World War 2 comes in.The well-presented, easy to explore site has 10 sections to delve into that inform kids about the war and what it was all about. From evacuations, to what homes were like,  food and shopping, daily life, and other interesting areas. Each section comes with some amazing photos with captions, some sections have writings (actual letters and speeches written by the various leaders), and also videos, and audio recordings of war-time events (Note: the audio and videos are not available in all countries).Also, within each section, there are activities, challenges, and quizzes that add a bit of fun to an often sad topic.
