Clarity Through Brevity: Integrating Six-Word Memoirs | Edutopia - 0 views

  • At its core, the six-word memoir teaches us to be concise but also introspective.
  • If people like Voltaire (9), Newton (10) and Diderot (11) only had six words, how would they describe their accomplishments?

Bloom's Taxonomy - 0 views

  • In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. During the 1990's a new group of cognitive psychologists, lead by Lorin Anderson (a former student of Bloom), updated the taxonomy to reflect relevance to 21st century work. The two graphics show the revised and original Taxonomy. Note the change from nouns to verbs associated with each level.

The Complete Guide To Twitter Hashtags For Education - 1 views

  • Picture it like a magnet that attracts all messages categorized by that topical word or phrase.
  • Don’t hashtag spam
  • Many of the hashtags have “meeting times” where educators agree to “meet and tweet”–that is, send out messages on a topic at a certain time on a certain day. If you do participate at the agreed upon time, you’ll see the tweets stream in live and participate in said conversation (via twitter) in what is nearly real-time. But if you can’t make it, the great part about a hashtag is that it does the sorting for you. You can search for messages assigned to a given hashtag anytime–tomorrow, Sunday night, or during your planning period next week.

Battle of Wilson's Creek - 0 views

  • Totten's tired artillerymen, the 1st Iowa, the 1st Kansas and Missouri's Home Guards fell back next.
  • His coarse, opinionated manner had made him nearly impossible to like, and his uncompromising stance in St. Louis had alienated many. But until the rise of tough Union commanders like Grant and Sherman a couple of years later, his hard-driving style would be sorely missed in an army filled with too many Sigels and Frémonts. And few could have argued with Samuel Sturgis, who after Lyon's death remembered him to have been 'as brave a soldier as ever drew a sword, a man whose honesty of purpose was proverbial, a noble patriot, and one who held his life as nothing when his country demanded it of him.'

Why iPad Textbooks Are Still Too Expensive for Schools [INFOGRAPHIC] - 5 views

  •  
    The title implies digital texts are more expensive, but the article states their functional cost is about the same. A digital version offers far more functionality for the about the same money, not to mention all the other learning resources provided by the iPad it runs on. I received the same infographic the article cites, and the same organization sent me this one two weeks earlier: http://www.onlineeducation.net/can-tech-save-education
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    Yes, the digital books themselves have the same overall cost overtime as a traditional textbook, however the point the author is trying to make is that with the overhead cost of purchasing an iPad for each student, it costs significantly more per student to have iPad textbooks, than it would with traditional "book" textbooks. The title may be somewhat misleading, however for already cash-strapped districts it is an important question to ponder.
  •  
    Including the cost of an iPad in the cost of a digital textbook is like including the cost of the classroom desk on which a traditional textbook would sit. Most schools would not (and should not) invest in iPads solely or even primarily to facilitate digital textbooks. They invest in 1:1 environments for more important reasons (personalized learning, increased engagement, ubiquitous access to information, etc), and many schools are abandoning textbooks altogether. Waverly-Shell Rock middle school diverted its textbook dollars to the purchase of mobile apps for their students. Rapidly changing content results in open content options such as http://www.ck12.org

Dinosaurs! Teacher's Guide | Scholastic.com - 0 views

  • Build-a-Dinosaur! (Grades K-2) Students familiarize themselves with dinosaur anatomy by taking part in an interactive dinosaur-assembly game. Students learn dinosaur facts and create six different types of dinosaurs from their component parts: head, body, tail, and legs. They can also create an imaginary dinosaur of their own.

      I enjoyed this activity because it gets you thinking about the different parts on dinosaurs and why they might have those adaptations.
  •  
    A fun and engaging site to get kids learning about dinosaurs. Even includes grade levels by activities.
