3-day lesson to help students with Notice and Note reading strategies, along with worksheets, bookmarks, signs, etc.

I really like that this lesson has K-5 lesson plan options. It is a lesson about how to search non fiction text better for finding information during research lesson. It has a video on how you should be taking notes which is really nice since students usually don't know what they can get rid of in their notes and end up plagiarizing at times

I think this is a great channel of video resources that my coworkers can use to change it up a little for students. They will find many topics/lessons that they currently teach on this channel. I will encourage them to use them in their classrooms, assign them for homework, assist with studying for a test or any other ways they see fit!

I would use this site to introduce concepts to students. These short videos are great attention getters. For example, I could use the video on Diseases to help students understand how far we have come in medical advances and to assist them in gaining an understanding of how easily diseases are transmitted. These could also be used as a flipped classroom format. Students could watch the content, take notes, and come prepared for the activity the next day.

Open source diary and journal software for Linux, Windows and Mac. A simple calendar-based journal for students that can help tame unruly piles of digital paper. Students can use RedNotebook to organize notes by class or unit of study. A neat feature is the ability to export journal entries, as text or PDF, by date range or by tag

Web-based learning has made learning content much more freely and instantaneously available to students who can download course notes and readings with a single mouse click. Facebook is one of many Web 2.0 tools - wikis, delicious, YouTube, podcasts - that are listed as having potential applications for teaching and learning.

Graphite reviews apps, games, and websites that for their educational usefulness. A consistent review template makes the reviews easy to browse and compare. Each tech tool is reviewed by Graphite, and most also show scores from teacher reviews as well. The reviews are focused and have sufficient detail to be helpful. Potential issues for educational use (such as age limits) are noted. Use the filters on the "Reviews and Ratings" tab to find apps right for your school, or use the "Top Picks" area to compare tools for similar purposes (making videos, or formative assessments, for example). There is a Common Core Explorer that will suggest tools that fit each standard, and there is also a Teacher Center that includes lesson plans made to take advantage of the tools.

Zaption provides free interactive video tools and ready-to-use video lessons to engage learners. Our video platform is perfect for K-12, higher ed & training.

Create acct. in Edmodo to see this OER lesson: This presentation is a basic introduction to visual notetaking or sketchnoting for students. During the presentation, students will watch an overview video, look at examples, and discuss the elements of sketchnoting. The presentation concludes with two practice exercises where students work on creating their first sketchnotes. Sketchnoting is a notetaking technique that students can utilize throughout the year and for different purposes in the classroom. Students can use sketchnotes to take notes on literary periods, histories of famous authors, visually represent the plot and analysis of a piece of literature or engage in listening to group presentations. This presentation is a Google Presentation, so in order to utilize it, you will need to make a copy by clicking on file<make a copy. Once you have your copy, you can edit or modify the presentation to fit your class.

Provides ELA teachers with an example of how to use an ebook within the classroom. Allows students to highlight text and take notes.

Discovered lesson through OER. Related to research for this class; to be used to strengthen teacher understanding of instruction with ebooks.

Shared during staff development as a way to improve digital note taking by students.

Part of a video series that covers broad topics in education in short, entertaining videos - think the "Cliff Notes" version. It would be a great introduction to a unit for students, as well as teachers to enhance their knowledge of a subject. I would recommend it for upper elementary - high school. The particular video is on Media Literacy, but there are tons of other videos too - science, math, STEAM, theater & drama, etc. There are over 8 million subscribers to their channel, so they must be good! :-)

This YouTube series explains what media literacy is, its history, and why it's important. I would use this to teach teachers and new librarians. I would also use it to teach media literacy at the secondary level.
