The Biggest Shift Since the Industrial Revolution [Infographic] | Tech the Plunge - 0 views

  • If not, take a look at the staggering statistics on the social media shift. Look at everything that has happened in the past 5 years. What do these numbers mean for educators? The easy answer is that it should not be able to ignore such a societal shift by filtering, banning or whatever you’d like to call it policies.

      How can we use the energy around social media to help our students learn better and more efficiently? What does this say about us as teachers if we are NOT using these tools? How can we manage and utilize these resources as effective PD without succumbing to information overload? Sorry, I have lots of questions, but not many answers. Interested in hearing your comments.

Failure is Underrated: 5 Subjects Where Mistakes Are a Must | Education.com - 1 views

  • Schools can build resiliency by emphasizing exploration over correctness. Here are some of the classes in which we should expect and reward failure: if our students don’t make mistakes, they aren’t trying anything new.

      This is why I love science- all results are valuable and there is no single correct target usually. I think students remember their mistakes or unexpected results far better than their supplied one answer. Students need to explore, practice, and trial and error when learning.

    Making mistakes in school is the best lesson/education of all. This article describes that classes that allow failure, wrong answers, mistakes give the student valuable information.

ClassZone - 1 views

  •  
    Classzone.com is an interactive website that our textbook provides to enrich students' understanding. The website has an online textbook with audio that struggling readers can use. It also has section quizzes, crosswords puzzles, click and drag games, section notes, interactive maps, animated maps, and all kinds of other things. I think it also increases student engagement because students enjoy completing the various activities. .

Understanding the difference between Forums, Blogs, and Social Networks « We... - 0 views

  •  
    It's easy to get the tools mixed up, but it's important to know the differences. Quite often (usually by executives) I'm asked the difference between Forums, Blogs, and Social Networks, here's usually how I explain it (focusing first on usage and benefits rather than technical details): Forums are like social mixers, where everyone is at equal level, milling about and discussing with others.

    Here are Michael Thornton's student livebinders. These are textbooks written by the students. Except for the typo on Ancient Greece review, this is a marvelous example of having students build meaningful textbooks.Interestingly, Michael's livebinder puts together livebinders themselves.

Cool Tools for Schools. - 0 views

  •  
    Cool Tools for Schools is loaded with ideas to use in any subject area. Any one of them can be used to align with the standards and benchmarks for state and local requirements. In some ways it is overwhelming. Learning a few at a time and trying them to see how students actually adapt to them would be the best practice. Overloading them might be frustrating. I can see the frustrations students can have with all the new concepts; I'm frustrated with an online course.

Using Moodle: Inline display of images captured with Jing - 0 views

      Anyone ever try this? I am thinking there has to be a way to get this posted.
  • After you capture and save your image to the Web, Jing gives you a popup letting you know that it has put the (non-embeddable) URL on the clipboard. That popup also contains a link to a page on screencast.com where you can manage the image (e.g., rename, delete). That page displays a link to the embeddable URL. You can right click and copy link location from there. It's an extra step, but it's acceptable.
