Article and video on how to effectively use wikis in your classroom.

Online timer for the classroom

A tool for creating storyboards. This is a great tool for digital storytelling, writing, and explaining.

Would be excellent option for the students who don't have the resources at home to do the big, artistic storyboards. This way they would be able to build one online.

Mobile elementary teacher and trainer, Amber Coggin, blogs to share resources for interactive whiteboards. The blog is searchable and includes dozens of excellent resources for Reading Street

Connected educators think strategically about content curation. How do we collect, curate, and share the best resources, ideas, and content for teaching and learning. This sketch does a nice job illustrating the steps in the process.

All you need to know about Diigo is in this presentation.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a Thinglink image may be worth 1000 pictures.  Thinglink is a great FREE tool that enables one to create dynamic interactive images that have embedded hyperlinks to other images, wikipedia articles, videos, websites, audio recordings, or almost anything else.  The image can then be embedded in your website or Haiku class, projected etc.  Easy to use.

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.

A nice collection of K-5 interactive sites perfect for the interactive whiteboard. Organized by subject and topic.
