Primary Source Analysis Tool | Teachers - Library of Congress - 1 views

  •  
    LOVE this primary source analysis tool from the Library of Congress.  This simple tool allows students to analyze primary sources using three column Observe, Reflect, Question analysis model leading to responses for further investigation..  The tool provides more specific prompts based upon the type of document for those that need it.   Responses can then be downloaded, printed, or emailed.

Kidblog - 1 views

  • Kidblog is built by teachers, for teachers, so students can get the most out of the writing process. Our mission is to empower teachers to embrace the benefits of the coming digital revolution in education. As students become creators - not just consumers - of information, we recognize the crucial role of teachers as discussion moderators and content curators in the classroom. With Kidblog, teachers monitor and control all activity within their classroom blogging community.
  • Kidblog provides teachers with the tools to help students safely navigate the digital – and increasingly social – online landscape. Kidblog allows students to exercise digital citizenship within a secure, private classroom blogging space. Kidblog’s security features put safety first: Teachers have administrative control over all student blogs and student accounts. Your students’ blogs are private by default – viewable only by classmates and the teacher. Teachers can elect to make posts public, while still moderating all content. Teachers can add password-protected parent and guest accounts to the community at their discretion. Comment privacy settings block unsolicited comments from outside sources. Kidblog is fully COPPA compliant and does not require any personal information from students.

    A safe FREE solution for blogging.  Perfect for the elementary school.  Haiku is missing a full fledged blogging tool, this will fill that gap for teachers.

Science Journaling: Article on Science as Inquiry - 3 views

    This article outlines different ways journaling can be useful in elementary science classes.

    Why not use Haiku for students to keep their journals? Discussions or Wikiprojects in Haiku could be used for this. In fact, the Bridge Building teams at Tupelo Middle School are using Wikiprojects to keep their journals, collect their data, and compose their portfolios for competition.

    Good point. Wiki/discussion boards are great for students to converse back and forth and work collaboratively in groups, but there are a few advantages to the old fashioned type journal as well. Drawings as well as charts and graphs for science are sometimes more beneficial to student learning and expression when done on paper and pencil. Ultimately, you would want to have both. It is also important to note that with the software we have available on the Macs, you could use the Photo Booth to capture drawings and graph and upload them to Haiku/Wiki or wherever you were sharing/storing them electronically.
