This site provides a visually engaging, simple interface for exploring thousands of online webtools and resources for K-12 educators. Browseable by subject and grade level. The site also provides support for sharing your discoveries and contributing your own links.
By allowing students to use their own technology on campus we are hoping to increase the access all students have to the technology they need to succeed.
Very fun word wall activities. Some mention bean bag toss toward a marked off shower curtain. Great for lower elementary but could easily be adapted to middle school curriculum. If you are looking for a way to make better use of your word wall, read this!
Kathy Schrock is an educational technologist with a wealth of experience and ideas to share. The Schrock Guide to Everything is Kathy Schrock's most up-to-date space and it includes a wealth of information. See especially her guide to "creating a Personal Learning Network."
Kathy Shcrock is one of my favorite edtech "gurus." I never read her blog or visit her site without learning something new and bringing home a new idea or "gem" to share. Take a look, and see if you agree.
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.
To some the electric slide may just be a novelty dance. Astute readers of technology blogs will know that this Electric Slide happens to be a application that allows visitors to wirelessly present their PowerPoint slides, documents, and videos using just their iPhone or iPad. First-time visitors can watch an instructional video and then go ahead and get started. The Features area contains details on the operations of the program and the Help section offers up some useful suggestions. This version is compatible with all operating systems running iOS 5.1.1 and newer.
