Using technology in the classroom requires experience and guidance, report finds - The ... - 1 views

  •  
    Thanks Ryan Rosenthal for sharing this article - Ryan says ... Interesting article talking about a small study that was done in Canada. I liked how they said that most tech instruction in the schools they looked at was focused on how to use the tech not on higher order thinking. It also mentions that the teachers on the forefront of tech teaching are not the new teachers but the ones with experience under their belt. Those teachers know how to handle the classroom and are therefore more comfortable taking the challenge of managing the students as they use tech.

Soundrown Plays Coffee Shop Noise, White Noise, Rain, and More to Help You Focus - 0 views

  •  
    Has anyone ever used something like this in his classroom?  I have students that greatly enjoy having some music playing in the background (I limit it to classical piano, mostly).  Anyone know of a study that demonstrates if this helps students learn?

    I've used Simply Noise in my classroom of 5th graders and I have had mixed results. Some kids really like it and some hate it. I tend to prefer the brown noise as opposed to white or pink noise. I think I might make less of a deal of it with my next class next year and just use it for a little longer period of time to get a better read on its effectiveness. I took my students to on a field trip to Environmental Systems Inc in Brookfield, WI and they use brown noise generators throughout their office/cubicle area to mask ambient noise. I found it very soothing. They used to have it timed to go off at 4pm and they found that their employees subconsciously sensed it was time to leave for the day. Not wanting to encourage them to leave early, they decided to gradually bring the volume of the noise down over the course of 30 minutes and that took care of their issue. Not necessarily applicable to what you were asking about, but kind of interesting.

    Not sure if I've shared this in the past, but it may be a nice solution for classrooms, school, and/or church libraries. $3/mo. for 1,000 or fewer titles, which most church libraries would fall under.

8 TED Talks You Need to Share with Your Students - 5 views

  •  
    TED talks/videos can be a great source of free classroom or individual student enrichment. Naturally, use with caution. TED materials are typically most appropriate for upper grade levels, but expecially visual presentations could be repurposed for the lower grade levels.
