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

    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.

    Scriffon is a simple service for writing and publishing online. Scriffon isn't a blogging platform, it's a writing platform. That means that you cannot edit the layout or navigation on the page on which your writing is published. Each writing that you publish is given it's own url. You can go back and edit your writing even after it has been published. If like, you can use multiple pen names under your Scriffon account name too.  Applications for Education Scriffon could be a good way for students to anonymously post their writings online and get feedback from others. For teachers or students who are reluctant to put their names on the web, using a pen name is a good way to publish without putting your real name online.

  • But when I talk about the shift to 21st century teaching and learning, I am not talking primarily about changing the tools we use. I’m talking about transforming the way most teachers teach today – either because they were taught to teach that way or because the accountability system makes them believe they have to teach that way.

      Carla Arena on 22 May 11
       
      It is really not about the tools, but about us and our students.
  • As a 21st century educator, I think about the relationship between content, the kinds of strategies I’m using as a teacher, and the technologies available.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • I think one of the things we’ve done is we’ve trained the passion out of our students from the second grade up.
  • “the future is no place for our better days.” What if we concentrate on making their better days come alive right now in our classrooms? What if we make the things we want them to learn extremely important right now instead of serving up some prefabricated curriculum that we’ve masticated and are now putting in their mouths at some kind of level WE think they can digest? That’s what learning with passion means to me.
