HippoCampus - Homework and Study Help - Free help with your algebra, biology, environme... - 0 views

  •  
    I loved exploring HippoCampus. The educational video, test prep, and simulations were amazing. I am exploring the topic English, specifically "Crafting an Effective Writer" and have found this video on being a successful online learner. The videos are informative and I could see my English teacher using them and it even applies to this course right now.

Math - PhET Simulations - 1 views

  •  
    I would use this site to work with the math and science teachers. For this bookmark, I am focusing on math because I find this group to be the hardest to get to work with the library. I would meet with the teachers, discuss concepts they are teaching and then show them this array of simulations they can assign students for any of the following reasons: *Formative Assessment *Further practice on a concept a student is struggling with mastering *A learning extension for accelerated learners - this could be a part of a personalized learning path.

Computer programming | Khan Academy - 1 views

  •  
    Khan Academy is a great resource that some teachers in our school are already using. I am exploring this course on computer programming as it fits with my research topic of coding and robotics. These can easily be used in the library or a Tech Ninja's class. There are many classes to chose from in Khan Academy.

Reading Tutorials - 0 views

  •  
    I wanted to find resources for reading as I am apart of the English Department at my school. We are always looking for resources to share with each other in our meetings. I came across this resource and found the grammar section. Many topics are presented such as contradictions, semi colons, sentences, etc... What really caught my eye were the videos towards the bottom of the page. Here they have videos that explain the differences between words that sound the same but have different meanings. They use toys and action sequences to explain which are very funny! Each of the grammar lessons have unique learning techniques, whether users need to select correct choices or simply view pictures that help represent the learning. I could see using or providing the examples given in many lessons.

    I think that YouTube has changed the world, for better or worse. I know when I am having trouble with a set of directions, I look for a video on youtube. Recently, it was my daughter's violin that wouldn't tune. I had no clue what it should sound like, but thanks to YouTube I had it fixed in under 10 minutes. Thanks, YouTube! Whether you're doing research for a project, need help with homework, or just want to learn something new, YouTube EDU features some of their most popular educational videos.

Free Technology Training at GCFLearnFree - 0 views

  •  
    I wish I'd known about this collection of OERs during the last school year! They feature clear navigation, plenty of graphics, and sub-collegiate reading levels. Some lessons include interactives and quizzes as well. GCFLearnFree offers many topics, but this will link you to its page of technology-related items. Some, like "Typing Tutorial" or "Using Information Correctly" would be perfect for students to work through independently. Others, like "Google Drive and Docs" would be appropriate for students or staff development.

Follow Skills, Orientation - Skillshare - 1 views

  •  
    This would be great for students who have an interest in these topics. I am thinking students in smaller school district that don't have electives in these areas. I would share this with high school teachers and maybe even school counselors so they can direct students to learning in their subject area. I want to take the craft course. : - )

Analyzing Character in Hamlet through Epitaphs | OER Commons - 0 views

  •  
    I am going to try this with my students. I have them reading Hamlet (graphic novel) and they love it. This will give them an opportunity to write and analyze the text/characters even more.

    This page invites school media specialists to try 23 explorations and activities online. It looks like a good way for those feeling a little behind the times to get familiar with a nice variety of online tools.

    This site is amazing...so much potential in a social studies or science class. I've used it in the library, but just as means to show the site to students.

Using Diigo in the Classroom - 2 views

  •  
    This is a tidy little package explaining what Diigo is and how it can be used to further student learning. It includes ideas for using Diigo with students, instructions on getting started, and even some Diigo groups teachers might consider joining. It looks to be a nice length to be the basis for a 20-30 minutes staff development session -- long enough to have some meat, but short enough not to overwhelm busy teachers.

Technology Integration Matrix - 1 views

  •  
    The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below.

    Thank you for sharing this. I am going to pass this source along to others in my district. I think it will come in handy when it is time to write PDPs. Many teachers are writing PDP goals that incorporate more technology into the classroom. I think this will help them define their steps and create a plan. Thanks!

    I am going to be sharing this with the Agriculture teacher at my school. I have worked with her in the past and I know that she will appreciate this newly found resource to use in her Animal Science class

PBS DESIGN SQUAD | WISELearn Resources - 0 views

  •  
    This site from NASA and Design Squad offers activities, videos, lesson plans, and guides for engaging kids in hands-on engineering activities. There are several guides for running 6-week or 12-week clubs or after school events. I am always on the lookout for activities that promote design thinking that I can use for a maker event or as a creative warm-up for one of my clubs. Lots of good ideas here!
