Teacher This Weeks Feature Site The Teacher Toolkit

9/28/2016

0 Comments

 
The Teacher Toolkit is a free site.  I thought this site was such a great resource that I created a brief screencast to share it. Click here to view the screencast.  I love this site!  

Macbook Tip

This week the Macbook tip is a screencast about the trackpad.  If you are a new user still adjusting to all of the ways to use your fingers to move around the trackpad, check out this brief tutorial. Click here to view.

Vizia

I found this "FREE" tool for use with video.  It could be a lesson you create and post to Youtube to share with your students or another Youtube video.  This is a fairly new tool and it only accepts two types of video at this time, one being Youtube. I like the fact you can sign in with your Google account.Check it out at  vizia. 

Digify - This is an add-on for Gmail

 I found an add-on that has a free and a paid use.  The free use allows me to add attachments to my gmail and I can see if the recipient of the gmail viewed it.  For those who want to know if your gmails are being read, this add-on could be for you. Click here to check out this add-on. Click her for a video of the free features.

A Focus on Tools Available to You and Your Students

9/12/2016

0 Comments

 
This weeks blog focuses on a tool available to all staff and to students grades 4-12.  Board builders are engaging, interactive ways for teachers and students to present information.  While we don't set up accounts at the K-3 level for students DE Boards are still engaging ways in which a teacher could present information to students in a center activity.  

This year on the blog I will be sharing a Macbook tip with each new blog post.  In addition, I will continue to share Google tips and tools.  This weeks Google tip is about a QR Code Generator that is a free add-on.

Discovery Education Board Builder

Board Builder in Discover education  has many uses.  I have shown below a number of examples sharing ways boards can be built and used by both you and your students.  All of these interactive boards can be accessed in your Discovery Education account under Professtional Learning >Welcome to Your Professional Learning>Learn & Lead>Step-by-Step Guides>​Board Builder  
​If you need to set up an account, please contact Dr. Sipe either at extension 1007 or by email.
 Boards can be used to :
Develop lessons for students. Include written and audio instructions, documents, links, images, and video. One possible use for this type of board would be for flipping instruction. Students would interact with board content outside of class, leaving class time available for discussion, problem-solving and hands-on exploration of the material that students have already been exposed to.


Picture
Create a digital SOS activity. Pick an SOS strategy that fits instructional goals. Use Board Builder to provide students with the content to use as they work through the strategy.  Discovery Education's SOS area has a variety of strategies that can be incorporated in lesson design.
Picture
 

Provide an exemplar for students so they know what elements must be included in their own boards. Use text box styles such as the sticky note to provide commentary on important components that students need to include on the boards they create.
Picture
Create an interactive glossary of vocabulary words for a unit of study. Use Discovery Education Interactive Glossary terms, or write words and definitions using the text box tool. Record audio that reads the text to students, or record a video that provides audio and video support for learning the vocabulary. Assign the board to students so they have access to the glossary through the Student Center Assignments tab.
Picture
Promote Professional Development ideas and strategies to other teachers. Build a board that includes the content and then share the board to the School, District or to DE Community level.
