curriculum infusing simple start technology to way with your

shared by gabriela anjos on 27 Sep 08 - Cached
  • What's a simple way to start infusing your curriculum with technology? What's a good starting point? Do you have a fav collab project? Courtesy of my Twitter Network: Suggest they take a part of their curriculum that they know well.... & consider if it could be made more collaborative, interactive, or personal for the students... then the tech tools are a win...  Need a GREAT project? Use Glogster to create and publish a WOW multimedia poster on any academic topic!http://tinyurl.com/3m799m  I've been thinking a lot about NETS-making tech "transparent and routine."  For tech neophytes, it's got to be non-threatening. so I've used GoogleGroups and GoogleDocs for out-of-class discussion and collaboration. As a language teacher, epals.com has been invaluable with connecting my students to native speakers.  Also, wikis & google earth Every faculty member has del.icio.us account-didn't support browser bkmrks when gave new machines-made em use del.icall summer collaboration and planning was done on wiki or google docs-all tech supprt documentation on wiki-students/teachers add  Visit ISTE student profiles. Pick a unit to enhance w/them. See http://tinyurl.com/6eybas  We start many a noobie on sharing online bookmarks, understanding how to share and access others bookmarks and subscribe to them. Use technology to reach it?  Sometimes I think when they see how well the objective is reached, and how engaged the students are We use wikis & google tools a LOT for collab started as tchr driven switched 2 stud recommend gaggle too Blogs would be my top suggestion... very collaborative.. easy learning curve... lots of possibilities.  My teachers found the http://1001tales.wikispaces.com collaboration to be a powerful and easily integrated project. locating images for a timeline project? posting a question of the day on a class blog? recording and sharing language mp3s? I started last year with podcasting and posted their work on the web, just like students in my class do. This year I showed teachers how to post and use a ning. They LOVED it. I call it Facebook for teachers. Set up Google Apps for Ed acct. for older students. Demonstrate the powerful uses of apps. Learn to organize Start with wikispaces. Look for other examples. Keep it simple & collborative. Kids work in teams to build wiki. Maybe info one? I'd say using tools such as Voki and Voicethread have been a good start for me :o)  Tchers have 2 start by letting go of the idea that they are "integratin tech" change to using tool for effective instruct ,that said...phone in response casts to gcast, post assign 2 wiki let kids discuss, storytelling 4 slide...feel post coming on:) The easiest way for this writing teacher is to pick a topic, any topic, and podcast students another starting point is to use VoiceThread to accomplish that.or start blogging and ask them to share their poetry (quick, simple success) then post that online. Have them drop poems into PPT Poetry then put it online with VoiceThread and invite feedback from other teachers' students on the poems, serious or fun. Take them to Thinkfinity.org and let them use the story mapper or bubbl.us to map a poem, story, nonfiction text Do something simple that can be successful and allow person to see tech can support and make easier initially...find easy web sites that kids can do (my background is EC) that excite them. Find place so they communik8 (such as ask an expert) Online enviros such as nings or wikis offer the most flexibility for just about any kind of content; images, video, audio,text basic start would be w digital camera and bulletin bd then putting pics into projects, especially w a technophobe....take a look at what is happening and see what could be done w tech--morning messages, sign in on the computer, parent notes etc. I think that there is incredible power in planning learning with other teachers, and inviting student input :-) I think wikis are an easy way in for teachers. they understand the collaborative nature of them. So do kids I think blogging is a simple way to start for humanities teachers. It's writing for an audience. That makes sense to teacher

    Why use Web 2.0 tools in science and math classes? The primary reason is they facilitate access to input and interaction with content through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. These tools offer enormous advantages for science and math teachers, in terms of helping their students learn using Web 2.0 tools. For example: * Most of these tools can be edited from any computer connected to the Internet. Teachers can add, edit and delete information even during class time. * Students learn how to use these tools for academic purposes and, at the same time, can transfer their use to their personal lives and future professional careers. * RSS feeds allow students to access all the desired research information on one page. * Students learn to be autonomous in their learning process.

    using technology effectively has clear benefits for both teaching and learning and can help to improve motivation by engaging pupils in activities which, perhaps, step out of their ordinary school experience and which show them that it is possible to teach and learn about a subject using tools similar to those they use daily outside school. In other words, we have tried to use the types of tools with which they are often already familiar.

    Google Docs is a user friendly suite of online collaborative tools that come with tremendous potential for use in the classroom. Last year all of the students in our school  received Google Docs accounts and I was kept quite busy getting students and teachers up and running with the new tools, then discovering innovative ways to use them as effective tools for learning. Here are some of the favorites.

Let Infographics Convey Information More Clearly Than Words Alone - 8 views

useful infographics

shared by Eric G. Young on 09 Apr 10 - Cached
  • Eric G. Young on 09 Apr 10
     
    As this article from Webdesigner Depot aptly puts it, "Infographics can be a great way to quickly reference information." Infographics take advantage of the adage, "A picture is worth a thousand words," and the can give broader appeal to a message by tapping into the appetites of visually-oriented consumers.\n\nI find infographics particularly useful to help explain difficult or complex topics, and frequently make use of graphics applications like "mindmaps" in my own work. In fact, I wish my primary field would embrace more creative ways of conveying information to consumers and students. The legal world might be surprised to discover how much more interesting and informative the information would be.\n\nThis article contains infographics aimed primarily at web designers and those with a fairly advanced knowledge of technology. However, there are a number of infographics, such as no. 14, which I think do an excellent job of explaining how different social media outlets can be used by a business to attain different marketing goals. It takes no particular technical skill to understand the information displayed in no. 14, which is what makes it a good infographic for anyone.\n\nIf you are interested in this topic professionally, or you just want to look at some interesting graphics that convey information, check out the article. It's worth a look.

    QuickDiff is an interesting tool that analyses differences in two very similar texts. It was actually developed for examining programming code, but could be a really useful tool to use with students to get them to look more closely at the texts they write and notice the mistakes and corrections and differences in the text.

    The purpose of the survey was to ascertain the level of awareness and openness to mobile learning among English language teachers. I also wanted to find out to what degree and how teachers were already using mobile learning both in their teaching and and professional development and to establish whether they would be willing to pay for and use mobile content. The survey also collected information about the teachers' existing access to mobile services and the kinds of device they are using to get access to mobile Internet.

    In contrast to the digital footprint you use for your personal learning network, this focus is on the online digital footprint students' use in your science or math classroom. The power of a well designed digital footprint brings the capacity to transform a classroom into an online learning community. Within this community your students use digital tools to create and develop a personal learning network.

    Wikis are the most popular Web 2.0 tool being used in science and math classrooms. Based on a survey of readers - 43 percent use them to support their teaching and student learning. A Wiki is appealing, encourages participation, supports collaboration, and promotes interaction by students who love to use technology. By the way - this includes most students today!

    Glubble.com is an exciting new online resource that helps families safely enjoy the internet together. Part social network and part web browser/filter, Glubble provides your family with an online meeting place to post pictures and messages for each other, and allows parents to monitor and regulate young children's internet use. One of the cool things about Glubble is that it uses your existing web browser, but allows you to "lock" it for your kids so they can only access pre-approved websites. Glubble provides a list of suggested websites, and parents can pick and choose which ones they like, as well as suggest other sites they would like their kids to use.

    "Every year Jane Hart (can't wait to meet her LIVE at the schoolnetsa11 conference) asks us to create our list of top 10 tools and every year it is the most difficult task that I have to do. As an educational technologist I use many tools on a daily basis as well as try out new tools to see how we can use it for teaching and learning. So choosing just 10 tools remains a challenge for me!"
