Picasa is a great photo manipulation tool that organizes your photos and videos and allows you to share these online. This is a free program up to a certain size (1 GB). The great thing is you only use space when you publish to the internet. I love using it!
I think this is a great site. You can make study aids and share them with the students, students can make thier own based on what they need to study--then share them with each other, or you can just use the site for personal enjoyment by makeing flash cards for...oh, say, studying Latin (reason I originally bookmarked the site).
http://www.merlotx.org/ is the main site for the online textbooks of all different categories. The link above is for Literature but the merlotx.org site covers just about every subject. Merlot itself is a great resource but this subsection can be very useful.
Excellent FREE site for math and sciences. All grade levels. Short video clips using a blackboard with verbal direction. Great depth of content available. Would be helpful to post on course site, saving you from creating the videos.
Thank you for sharing this link. I just heard about these free videos yesterday and was quite impressed and curious about them. I'd like to find a similar great resource for my discipline of accounting.
From kindergarten to calculus, Khan Academy is here to help. You may have heard about our videos, but did you know that Khan Academy has fun interactive math exercises that cover skills ranging from counting to calculus, grade by grade? Every exercise has step-by-step hints, so your child can practice as much as needed.
The Interesting Ways series continues to be a great example of crowdsourcing good quality classroom ideas. It is remarkable what can be achieved and created together if you give people the right way to do it.
I like this guy and joined his resource group. I encourage you to check out some of the great ideas for brining technology into the classroom.
These online collaboration tools will enable students to communicate and collaborate fast and easily. This will sustain their interest, improve focus and they would be able to contribute in best possible way and get quality results in turn.
#TT1921 This presentation software tool would be beneficial to my online learning because of the inbuilt mechanism that uses motion, zoom, and spatial relationships to bring one's ideas to life. With time, after gaining the skills to use it, one can be a great presenter. Great presentation with content would improve students' understanding and learning experience!
Lucidchart is a great mind-mapping tech tool that can be used for content creation, group work, asynchronous AND synchronous communication! If you're looking for an "elective" or any of the other categories I just mentioned to round out your "scrapbook," this is one you might want to check out!
What makes any assessment in education formative is not merely that it precedes summative assessments, but that the performer has opportunities, if results are less than optimal, to reshape the
performance to better achieve the goal. In summative assessment, the feedback comes too late; the performance is over.
Although the universal teacher lament that there's no time for such feedback is understandable, remember that "no time to give and use feedback"
actually means "no time to cause learning." As we have seen, research shows that less teaching plus more
feedback is the key to achieving greater learning. And there are numerous ways—through technology, peers, and other teachers—that students can get
the feedback they need.
