    This site looks like a very good resource for helping teachers bring project-based learning to their classrooms. I've heard one of the facilitators of the site speak at a conference, Dayna Laur, and she is very dynamic. The "Pick a Project" page gives you ideas while the "Click a Class" page will help you build and customize a project for your classroom. Watch the 1 minute video on the "How it Works" page to learn more.

    Former administrator Ben Johnson writes in this blog that the Common Core State Standards focus on literacy will benefit students' problem solving. Johnson offers a real-life example in which he fixed a broken lawnmower by using what was believed to be useless junk stored in his garage. The junk -- like information stored in the brain -- was necessary to find the solution, or resolve the problem.

  • Because the field of Big History studies all 13.7 billion years from the Big Bang to the present, a tool to aid the comprehension of time relationships between events, trends and themes is necessary. ChronoZoom is an intuitive, visual approach to fulfilling this void.

Blogging Safety: Tips to Protect Kids Online - Microsoft Protect - 2 views

  • Establish rules for online use with your kids and be diligent. Screen what your kids plan to post before they post it. Seemingly innocuous information, such as a school mascot and town photo, could be put together to reveal where the author goes to school. Ask yourself (and instruct your kids to do the same) if you are you comfortable showing any of the content to a stranger. If in doubt, have them take it out. Evaluate the blogging service and find out if it offers private, password-protected blogs. Save the web address of your child's blog and review it on a regular basis. Check out other blogs to find positive examples for your kids to emulate.

    Has some great ideas of how to incorporate information texts into the classroom.
  • Mrs. Spear on 21 Nov 11
     
    quoted information from the page: "While English classes will still include healthy amounts of fiction, the standards say that students should be reading more nonfiction texts as they get older, to prepare them for the kinds of material they will read in college and careers. In the fourth grade, students should be reading about the same amount from "literary" and "informational" texts, according to the standards; in the eighth grade, 45 percent should be literary and 55 percent informational, and by 12th grade, the split should be 30/70."

    Wow! Do I ever applaud the emphasis on reading for information. Why, kids could use reading trick to educate themselves for a lifetime, and in other disciplines - just imagine!

    To the right are many, many additional video links about the common core standards. Thanks, Mary. Sometimes it's better to watch a video than to simply read.

    Although I am a droid...I am intrigued by this app - especially the thought of older students actually downloading the standards for their grade. What a great way to manage their own learning and hold teachers and administrators accountable!
