Great way to have students engage with any web content. Will work in Flock and Firefox. Very interesting, it turns every webpage into a wiki. A great study tool especially for secondary students.
An awesome tool for creating story books for printing and sharing. Suitable for ES1-S1. Not embeddable at this stage, but very easy to share via email/link on blog...
The Danish government says if the internet is so much a part of daily life, it should be included in the classroom and in examinations.
Sanne Yde Schmidt, who heads the project at Greve, says: "If we're going to be a modern school and teach them things that are relevant for them in modern life, we have to teach them how to use the internet."
Students are no longer required to regurgitate facts and figures. Instead the emphasis is on their ability to sift through and analyse information.
Some high schools in Denmark are beginning to allow students access to the internet during exams. Exciting stuff, and fantastic to see countries looking into more open forms of assessment. I will be interested to see how quickly other nations follow Denmark's lead in this regard. Tools like Diigo would be a fantastic method of preparation for student's sitting these exams.
An excellent presentation on wikis & writing and how they can be used to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom. Also shares some meaningful stats regarding language development, explains and gives examples on web 1.0 & 2.0 tools and social media.
could be very useful ... there's a huge fear of data out there (unnecessarily so) but an app like this makes it very accessible/meaningful. Thanks for sharing ...
