Don't know how to work Microsoft Excel? This is the page for you! Students in ISB middle school have been making tutorials of widely used programs. They have worked a lot to help people around them have a better understanding of technology. On this page you will find how to make bar graphs, math equations, pie charts... This page will come in handy, because Excel, when you learn to use it, is a quick and speedy way to do homework, projects, and lessons.

This page allows you to upload hundreds (or thousands) of photos to use used in the mosaic. Just enter your email address, tell us the shape of mosaic you want (square, horizontal, vertical) and the main photo you want us to use for the mosaic, select as many photos as you want from your computer (preferably more than 100) and we do the rest. If page does not load within 10 seconds, click the REFRESH button I did this years ago, after the George Bush/Iraq soldier one came out, looked great!

The workshop was great and without a doubt all tools used during the workshop are Web 2.0. However teachers who attended the workshop are constantly reminded, what matters most is HOW teachers used Web 2.0 for teaching and learning but not WHAT Web 2.0 can do. Pedagogies, instructions and learning outcomes always come first.

Whether we like it or not, Google or Wikipedia are our student's first ports of call when it comes to researching or undertaking independent study, not the school library. Diigo offers a fantastic way to tap into the way our students operate by allowing the annotation of web pages which can then be shared with your students and, by doing so, you facilitate the process of research for your students and you set them on the right track for further independent study.

Comic Book Effect transforms a photo into a comic book drawing. It is simple to do and can be very entertaining. I will show you how to get from left picture to right picture using Adobe Photoshop in only five steps.

"My students were asked to write a math story problem and download the free trial of Animation-ish to animate their story! All students whose work is posted signed an agreement to allow me to share their project. The "ToonBoom" logo shows up in their animations because they used the trial version of Animation-ish. If you purchase the software, the logo will not show up in the liscensed version, so you will have a clean background in your animation."

Have a look and let me know if you would like your kids to learn how to do this.

"Isn't it great when students write and read because they love to? Or, when a child or young adult values his or her library card as much as the latest electronic game? At Pine Tree Poetry, we believe fine writing nourishes everyone's soul. It exercises brains with creative thinking and adds a palette of words and colors to life. We've created Pine Tree Poetry to interlace students, their peers, parents, teachers and school librarians in a quest for poetry writing excellence. Rarely do students earn kudos or trophies for their writing, but at Pine Tree Poetry, we are dedicated to rewarding the fine writing achievements of students who are 5 - 18."

A place for students to publish poetry (and possibly win prizes!)

Some expectations of what a master teacher needs to be/do

Hard to explain To be clear, Qwiki isn't a piece of hardware. Instead, it's a piece of software meant to run on the web and as an app on mobile devices. What it does is present to you data about millions of topics in an extremely interesting and visual way. Imagine if someone created a movie highlight reel of Wikipedia pages - that's sort of what Qwiki is like. You search for something - a topic, a person, etc - and Qwiki talks to you, telling you all you need to know about what you searched for, while also showing you key things about the subject or person. You can also click on sub-topics or related topics to access more Qwikis with vast amounts of other information. It's a fairly incredible way to consume information. And the data isn't just from Wikipedia. Say you do a search for a person, Qwiki can look at their social connections and tell you about their LinkedIn profile, for example. It is very, very impressive.

Much nicer! will do this with students.
