"Organize Your Education!™
GradeMate is a powerful online organizer for teachers and students to keep track of their courses - from managing grades, assignments, and events to sharing files, course notes, and class discussions."
the larger percentage of educators never even dressed for it. They are still in their houses sitting around in their pajamas. This does not mean that they are not doing their job. It means that they are not interacting with others at a party.
Tom, are you saying that the vast majority of teachers are sitting around in their pajamas at home, BUT NOT in interactive groups, not in a PLN? I didn't get this on the first read.
We need to deal with PLN’s in Professional Development workshops. We need to Email links to colleagues who do not use Twitter, Nings, or Wikis. We need to have students develop PLN’s as a source of learning. We need to connect those who need to be connected and then we can all learn as professionals in our pajamas.
Teachers can create an online community for their students.
"Share inspiration, ideas, reading, thoughts. Post discussions, deadlines, homework. Instrantly create surveys for students. Keep parents informed of daily projects."
"Not only will twiducate.com give your students the web 2.0 skills they need, but also expand their reading, writing, thoughts and ideas beyond the classroom setting."
This Prezi is one of the best examples and thought provoking discussion starters I have seen regarding evaluating teaching and learning using Blooms Taxonomy.
Welcome to our class wiki! I am excited about using the bookshelves you built in Shelfari as a springboard for discussing books and reading. I love working with all of you, and I look forward to using this wiki as a tool to help us grow as readers and thinkers.
Blerp allows you to start discussions right on top of your favorite websites. Unlike typical web comments, you are in full control. You can post on any webpage you choose, regardless of whether they permit user feedback.
In other words, Blerp transforms the entire Web into one giant forum where everyone can participate.
Useful for annotating websites, designing online instruction, virtual tours, and Internet scavenger hunts.
