""This would create an environment where students could really work together," she said. "It would let me change the dynamic and bring that compassion back into the classroom.""

"As you are watching, ask yourself: What changed by using, in this case, the iPad and ShowMe app? Could the same [learning] have been accomplished by keeping students' illustrations analog? Was there differentiation potential? Can this type of "activity" be used as an assessment to replace/upgrade traditional assessment? Are the movie clips potential artifacts for digital portfolios? Could these movie clips be part of a variety of student work at a parent-teacher conference? Was any learning amplified by placing it on the classroom blog to share with families? What skills were practiced? What literacies were supported? Was it worth the extra time investment, the learning curve?"

Just in case you haven't been there...

I can't wait to use this with my curriculum team, relevant and real!

Bogus website for teaching web literacy

More about the flip. Via Twitter.

"Many assumptions and misconceptions around the flipped class concept are circulating in educational and popular media. This article will address, and hopefully put to rest, some of the confusion and draw a conclusion on why flipped learning is a sound educational technique."

"Whether you subscribe to the device as a consumption, creation or discovery tool, the technology opens the eyes of educators when given time to investigate." The challenge of pedagogy demands contact time between staff, students and those of us charged with coordinating. A staff and student blog will now be supported by a staff twitter account to encourage daily feedback/debate as well as the built in googleforms and analysis. Every question/suggestion and discussion is valid because of the diversity of subjects, staff and students.

"In a world of information overload, it is vital for students to not only find information but also determine its validity and appropriateness. Our information literacy material demystifies the process of finding and validating online information. These vital skills are needed as students prepare for our global economy."

Great resource

The place where people come together to share their historical pictures and stories

"Evaluate websites with variations and extensions of skills you use to evaluate print materials."

This was great, gave me lots of ideas, stage 4 PDHPE does have a requirement to do some of this, but not to this dept. Global citizens!

Internet Country Codes

great videos from math teacher

Another WHOIS tool

Time Rime allows interactive timelines to be created, viewed and compared.

Another bogus website to use with students: It takes hundreds of years to form and only minutes to vaporize... Pure, refreshing, crystal clear, filtered, and compressed dehydrated water.

"Fourteen years after writing Teaching Zack to Think, there is still no Internet skill more critical than Web literacy. However, simply teaching students to be able to search for and validate information is not enough. The ever-growing amount of information on the Web and the immediate access to experts and peers from around the world create great opportunities for thoughtfully organizing and expanding upon learning. Alan November and Brian Mull have recently written an article titled Why More Schools Aren't Teaching Web Literacy-and How They Can Start, which now appears on the eSchool News site and discusses a three-part framework for making sure students are Internet savvy."

So good stuff here
