  • Research shows that students primarily use one search engine and then only look at the first page of results.
  • our students have weaker research skills as a result of not being taught the rigor and discipline of using Google and other search tools across the curriculum in all grade levels
  • Our general analysis is that our students don’t know that they don’t know.

  • common sense and the Common Core.
  • Most states will have to rethink their approach to teaching critical analysis of all kinds of information, as the standards require that students be able to: Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism; Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research; and Interpret mathematical results in the context of a situation and reflect on whether the results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose.

    This article from Alan November discusses "web literacy" and the kinds of skills essential for digitally literate students and where these skills are found in the Common Core State Standards.   He makes a compelling argument for teaching these skills to students and provides some ideas about how it may be accomplished.

    "This versatile browser-based tool enables students to combine blogging, videos and photographs on interactive Google Earth and Google Maps. MyHistro's chronological timeline makes it great for collaborative tasks, multimedia projects and presentations in History, Geography and Social Science." -TeachThought This would make for an excellent writing/multimedia project for our US History students.  The projects could be embedded into Haiku for presentation, discussion, and review.  Check it out!

    Do more than watch a video: discuss, question, and comment. Vialogues puts the "think and do" into video watching. Vialogues allows you to post a video and then invite participants to answer questions, discuss or just comment. This asynchronous tool can be used for private or public interactions. Tip: Use this tool with media literacy lessons.

    This short video would be excellent for prompting discussion or student research for 6-8 grade science students.  Be sure to check out the other great short videos from the "Its Okay to be Smart" YouTube channel as well.  Remember, students are not currently able to access YouTube from their devices, so you will need to project this video for the class if you want to use it.

    This article outlines different ways journaling can be useful in elementary science classes.
  • Kenneth Griswold on 04 Feb 13
     
    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.
  • Anne Marie Littrell on 05 Feb 13
     
    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.

    A zoomable visual demonstration of scale.  Zoom in all the way to Plank length and out to the whole of the observable universe.   This would be an excellent jumping off point for student writing, discussion, and thinking in a science (or math) class.  Another wonderful interactive visual demonstration from Cary and Michael Huang.

  • Circulatory System Diseases  The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels, which transport nutrients and oxygen to all cells to keep the body in proper balance. This article discusses common circulatory system diseases and the corresponding treatment options. The circulatory system is responsible for moving blood, nutrients, and gases to and from cells to keep the body in proper balance. The waste products that remain after the oxygen moves out of the blood cells are carried out by the circulatory system
  • The blood vessels transport blood to and from the heart
  • fat, cholesterol, or other substance in the artery wall. Deposits in the artery cause the vessel to stiffen and narrow.

  • 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.
