Over 20 Free Digital Classroom Tools… Customize… Plus No Log In! | 21 st Cent... - 0 views

  •  
    " What amazed me most about Classtools.net was not the valuable tools provided, but the ability for teachers to easily customize these tools and use them in any subject area. If that is not enough, how about the ability to embed your newly made instructional resource on your own classroom website, wiki, or blog? Any educator will also like the fact that students have no need to log in or sign up for an account… and neither do teachers! Need tutorials… they are provided! Do samples help you understand better… you will find plenty! Is budget a problem… then free should be affordable! Classtools.net is the work of educator, Russel Tarr, Head of History at the International School of Toulouse, France. Upon entering the site, educators will see the listing of tools. Clicking on a tool allows teachers to individualize that specific tool for their own classroom needs. Teachers then have the option of copying a generated link to place on their own web site or of copying a generated code to embed as a tool (widget) on their classroom site. Also, on the front page, are some video links that will provide further information. Two videos that provide excellent information are the 1 Minute Overview and How to Create Games. The Listing Of Over 20 Digital Tools For Your Classroom The tools that you can even customize are included below. Along with this tool listing you will find descriptions of each tool, an overview of and samples of specific tools (if provided), and any related video (if provided). * Arcade Game Generator - Allows teachers to create concept builders, practice exercises, and reviews. Best of all, one set up feeds into five different game possibilities at the same time The teacher can choose which game, or allow students a choice. Make sure you check out all the examples and pre-made games in (overview and samples). Also watch the How to Create Games . * Random Name Picker - Can be used as an activity management tool or skip the names.

Netbooks@Laconia Bridges Digital Divide - 0 views

  • Netbooks, cloud apps encourage collaboration Students who have access to mobile devices at home constantly communicate on Facebook, Twitter and other sites, said Wayne Weber, the Laconia High School principal. But at some schools, administrators tell them, "Stop collaborating, stop communicating and put those devices away." "And so, this is a means of addressing that Digital Divide as John said, and then trying to capitalize on what they’re doing outside of school already and honing those skills to get them to be better at collaboration and communicating.” For the past three years, students have collaborated through cloud apps such as Google Apps and Dropbox. And now, the netbooks provide more opportunities to collaborate.  In "Future Prep" class, a teacher has classes in four sections working on projects centered around the movie "Waiting for Superman." Each section split into eight groups that represent different education stakeholders, including students, school boards, communities and teachers' unions.

Technology and Webb's Depth of Knowledge | SBBC * Department of Instructional Technology - 0 views

  •  
    " Most educators are more familiar with Bloom's Taxonomy than with Webb's Depth of Knowledge. Blooms Taxonomy In 1965 Benjamin Bloom identified three types of learning: cognative (mental skills/knowledge), affective (emotional/attitudes) , and psychomotor (manual/physical skills) Within the cognative area, there are six progressive categories in the development of intellectual skills. Each step must be mastered before the next can occur. (Note the levels listed below do not reflect the 1990's revision of the taxonomy)"

    "It was about five years ago when I got into visualization. Before I actually made anything, I read books and guides that made suggestions and preached a handful of design principles, but when it was time to make a data graphic for publication, I didn't know what I was doing. Theory is great. Being able to apply it to your own data is better."

How to Create Your Own Learning 'App' -- THE Journal - 0 views

  •  
    "Web guru Anthony Luscre believes "if you're not teaching over your head, you're not doing an effective job." He applies this principle particularly when encouraging teachers to develop and implement apps in their classrooms. Just how far above one's head, however, depends on how involved a teacher wants to get. Incorporating apps into the classroom is a process that can take an hour or six months, depending on what instructors wish to achieve. "
