Marco Torres is an amazing teacher, filmmaker, presenter. This is a page of resources from Marco that could be useful for our Fridays. Love to talk to anyone about it and how we could apply his ideas.
A wiki from Kathy Cassidy with a lot of links to educational videos for young learners. Click on subject on left side and check out some good short videos you might be able to use in your classroom.
I am so glad that Dewey is being recognized ..... If you want some fun inspiration for pbl read Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliet. I use it as a read aloud and Incorporate many of it's ideas into the year.... I use painting The Geographer to begin our study of Virginia geography, each child has a set of pentominoes to explore and I use one of the settings, the tree house, as a basis for a pbl in math. I even have my grad students read this book.
The sequels are just as inspiring.
Wouldn't it be fun to have our students make a few of these videos and post them on this page? It looks like they have videos from a variety of places. Check out the math addition videos for ideas.
