(via @JonathanEMartin) "This post could be almost infinite: there is most certainly an extraordinary array of options for videos which expand educators' understandings and inspire advances in 21st century learning.  But curation is about choice and selection, and while I know I will leave out many, I thought I'd offer up a set of 15 of my favorites for your consideration for video screening at at back-to-school or beginning-of-the-year faculty meetings (and/or parent and board meetings)."

Online videos and interactive games to teach with.  Great for all grades at PDS.

(via @MrWejr) "I often hear that students with little home support NEED extra incentives to get them to read.  The staff of Kent school, with over half of our students at or below the poverty level, have worked hard to prove this theory incorrect. It is not about pizza parties, book bucks, and stickers - it is about creating the conditions for ALL students to develop a love of reading."

Challenge 20/20 is an Internet-based program that pairs classes at any grade level (K-12) from schools in the U.S. with their counterpart classes in schools in other countries; together, the teams (of two or three schools) find local solutions to one of 20 global problems.

Brain dance article from a class i went to at PZ

Skills taught through songs. Must look at! (Math, Vocab words, Civil War, Idioms, etc.)

The face of science standards is currently undergoing a large overhaul! Interesting read - plan to implement at PDS.

top 3 tips: 1. keep 3-5 min, longer= lose interest; call out students names in videos, allude to class secret or secret word used during next school day 3. Storyboard plan your video 5. Hold students accountable: can't participate in class experiment/activity if haven't watch video. Give quiz at beginning of class. Use unlimited attempt online quiz to complete to 100% after watching quiz. 6. Create forum where kids can discuss video, ask questions...then assign kid to be teacher assistant to answer questions, cont discussion

I really love this! There are only four videos for language arts at the moment. I wonder if I can create some on my own.
