Wikipedia:FAQ/Schools - 0 views

  •  
    Use the Wikipedia FAQ for Schools page as a resource to help teach digital literacy in your classroom! Students are going to use Wikipedia, so they need to be taught how and when it is or is not appropriate, starting in elementary school. Look, even Wikipedia warns against using Wikipedia in many instances! But it also points out what it can be good for, so explore both sides with students.

StoryKit: Create collaborative e-projects across content area - 1 views

  •  
    StoryKit is a simple app offered by International Children's Digital Library for use on iPads or iPhones. Students can creatively make e-books or e-projects using text editing, images/drawing, and audio recording. They can use it to write individual stories, OR, can use it collaboratively to demonstrate learning within a particular unit in any subject! With images, text, and audio, students can create a virtual art gallery, or an exam study resource. StoryKit could also be used to create e-projects which serve as summative assessments for various subjects/units in the elementary years. Teachers break down the unit into topics, and assign each group of students a topic to create an e-book about. These can then be easily shared with families to demonstrate learning, too!
