Let's take a walk and check out what's possible...

Objectives:

1) Discover at least three new resources to use in the classroom for free for your existing teaching objectives

2) Discover what you might be interested in learning more about to expand your own resources

 

So Let's Go....

On our pathway today, we will:

  1. Start at Basic Lingo and we'll chat a bit about the read-write Web 2.0 and possible resources for the classroom

  2. Go "home" here and look at the possible resources from Web 1.0 to 2.0.

  3. Ask "how does Search work?" First, Google has some answers. And other info on Google Search. Then see how they track the Flu. Then take a look at an advanced Google Search and see what we can find by digging a bit more than usual for .ppt. .swf, and into NASA's archives.

  4. Take a quick look at "tagging" with Delicious in trying to save our NASA finds.

  5. Look at the wide range of online video available -- despite the YouTube blockage.

  6. Take a quick cruise through the wide range of teacher tools available free online.

  7. Check out what resources can help you provide more visualizing tools in the classroom. What does Clifton look like from space? Guess when Google was cruising around...and get a hint of GoogleLitTrips (& Grapes of Wrath flythrough) and other ways to use Google Earth tools.

  8. Put our creative hats on and look at how we can bring digital concept maps, free podcasting, and other creative tools into the classroom.

  9. See how you can connect your classroom with other places.

  10. Take a look at a list of coordination programs that have programs between schools internationally.

  11. Scan a grid of learning objectives and environments to look at the broader Art of the Possible for our own curriculum design.

  12. Think about what three things above spark your interest. What might be fun to add to what you are doing already? What would you like to learn more about? Take a look through the other resources and the right. Set up scheming teams with other teachers in your school to talk about what you already are doing and what you might try out from the lists at the left. Or contact some of the edublogger teachers about their great resources.

It's all out there!
