" 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.

The tale will change and grow over time- as other kids like you follow your story and write new choices. You can see that it's not just a story, it's also a game. And like any other game, there are rules to understand before you start. "

"How can a company implement a "20% time" program like Google's?"

Considering the heavy female demographic happening on Pinterest, we were surprised to find the U.S. Army had a well-stocked profile, until we checked out the rest of their online goings-on. The Army is all up on the Internet. And, in a very active way -- it doesn't just have social media profiles to have its hand in the future. It has robust profiles on various sites, ranging from the big social media players like Twitter to newbs like Pinterest, each appropriately using the platform as a PR tool. It's really quite impressive for such an established, bureaucratic organization that one would assume would stink at the Web.

"nfographics are an amazing learning and teaching tools. I said amazing because they present information and data in such a visually attractive way that increases students overall comprehensible input. I have received several emails from teachers from different countries sharing with me their successful use of these materials with their students. I particularly liked Yokama's lesson teaching Japaneses students English vocabulary using some of the Infographics I shared here."

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 1:40 pm, Posted by Jeff Dunn 29 | Featured, Top 10 Lists The 100 Best Web 2.0 Classroom Tools Chosen By You Topics: best, cozi, edmodo, edublogs, google, guide, prezi, tools, top 10, vuvox, web 2.0, wiki The Wordle of this list!

Likes?) and ran a contest to try and get as many submissions as possible."

Six Ways to Look at Badging Systems Designed for Learning Initiated by Barry Joseph, Global Kids, Inc. Written by Barry with scores of others* Background For over four years, Global Kids has developed badging systems within, after and outside of schools. We are currently designing a badging system for dozens of civic and cultural institutions within the Hive Learning Networks in New York City and Chicago, as well as throughout our organization. We have had a frontline view of the growing interest which has emerged over the past year in the development of badging systems across a wide range of formal and informal learning environments. We have also followed the rise of opposition, and sometimes confusion, about what digital badging looks like or is designed to accomplish. In this context we felt it might be useful to delineate the various interests we see aligning themselves with badges, or make distinctions amongst the different goals people have for them.

"In preparation for the CUE Rockstar Teacher Tech Camp I am trying to create a SIMPLE and comprehensive "Explore-Flip-Apply" lesson planning template for session participants. Click here to see what I have create so far and feel free to "make a copy" and use as you like. I welcome any suggestions you have. I am having trouble embedding the google doc, so I have provided screenshots below as well. My goal is to create a streamlined way for teachers to unpackage a topic according to Blooms Taxonomy, then allocated those learning objectives across an inquiry based learning cycle, using video as a low-end Blooms content delivery tool after knowledge construction.

Bugs and Numbers makes a bug's life for kids, as they explore math concepts such as matching, counting, sorting, sequencing, addition, subtraction, fractions, money, measurements, and telling time from the perspective of some realistic-looking critters. In three sections of six games each, bugs explore places like a diner, a junkyard, or a circus, and encounter skills in fitting backdrops. For fractions, ants deliver boxes of pizza to a picnic, and kids choose which fraction is represented in each box. Kids learn to count money in an arcade by dropping the correct amount into the machines. They earn bugs by completing each game and can zoom in to watch their bugs in action.
