Finding Free Images for Your Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    The Internet has made a myriad of material readily available to a vast audience. Along with these seemingly infinite resources  has come a lot of confusion about how images and other content published online should be legally recognized, protected or used. As educators, we often struggle in navigating that road.

SAS® Curriculum Pathways® - 0 views

  • Curriculum Specialists SAS Institute Education Practice The world's largest privately held software company, SAS was founded in academia and has maintained strong ties to the academic community. Those ties grew stronger in 1996 when the company's founders looked back to the classroom and asked: Can the expertise we have developed over the past 25 years enable us to produce technologies that enhance learning? The answer—an enthusiastic Yes—came only after deliberating with educators. SAS Curriculum Pathways is the result of those deliberations. Three qualities have been crucial to our success. Our commitment to teachers Our products work in the classroom in large part because teachers shape every phase of the planning and production process. Our focus on content Our approach is innovative, but our goals are traditional. Teachers, developers, designers, and other specialists clarify content in the core disciplines. We target content difficult to convey with conventional methods—topics where doing and seeing provide information and encourage insights in ways that textbooks cannot. Our approach to technology Our products make learning more profound and efficient, not simply more entertaining. Audio, visual, and interactive components all reinforce the educational objectives identified by teachers. Year after year, SAS Curriculum Pathways earns awards for educational technologies and, more importantly, we earn the support of teachers, students, and parents.

Simple free learning tools for students and teachers | Quizlet - 1 views

  •  
    What's the capital of Kansas? The French word for "green?" Making flashcards to study material like this is nothing new, but these days you don't have to deal with index cards and markers to make them. Quizlet is an online haven of study games and more than six million sets of flashcards, with subjects that range from German verbs to LSAT questions. The study material appears on virtual flashcards, with an option to have the content presented in the test-form or within a competitive game. If you don't see a flashcard set that you want, make your own by submitting the information you want to study. Quizlet CEO Dave Margulius says he and much of the Quizlet team in San Francisco have decided to learn Spanish together and often use the website's Speller tool. When using this tool, a voice says a vocabulary item without showing the word itself, and you must type the word you hear. For example, the voice might say, "bailar," which is Spanish for "dance," and then you type the word the best you can. If spelled correctly, you move to the next word, and if not, the screen shows the accurate spelling.

A is for ACER SACCHARUM (sugar maple) - 0 views

  • Our maple has been a good friend to our family over the years, and perhaps especially to me. How many hours, weeks, seasons have I spent looking out my window at this tree? I don't know; I can't count that hig
  • My window maple is an unremarkable specimen. It's probably 60 feet tall, maybe 75 years old. I can estimate its age with some confidence from the size of its base, and also because it has been a part of the setting here for not that much longer than I have.

  • To be sure, the sugar maple has uses beyond furnishing matter for meditation to the easily distracted. No tree in New England works harder on man's behalf. It is by no means the biggest tree in our woods; the oldest pines and hemlocks regularly grow taller. It's not the longest-lived; those same pines and hemlocks, and some oaks, go back further. Nor is it our most celebrated, or storied, tree, an honor that must go to the American elm, decimated by disease in recent decades, but whose survivors recall the beloved elms, of which every New England village formerly seemed to have had one, under which George Washington must surely have stopped to refresh himself once upon a time.

    "Because rural New England is a well-watered and well-wooded region, people here live much with trees -- trees not only as a natural resource, but for other purposes, as well. Every country place has on it one or more trees that are more than large, unmoving elements of the landscape. They are familiar spirits -- proprietary trees, so to speak -- domesticated trees, trees that owing to their beauty, their history, their location, seem to have a special connection to the place and the people on it."
