Tech Tuesday Vol 3
Sept 28th
Today in A116 I’ll begin 15 minute lessons. These are short lessons to give you a chance to learn one new skill and really focus on how it can be used in the classroom. Nothing too overwhelming.
Lessons on Using Inking Layer in SMART Tools
These are best for...
Resources:
Teaching with Smartboard - Wonderful website with lots of downloadable notebooks but also 70+ podcasts of ideas. http://smartboard.fatcow.com/resources/
Science Content Pack - Mimio has on offer a special content pack for free download. Specially designed for middle school, the pack includes activities for Anatomy, Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science. You must have an account at Mimio to download but why not? Download the pack at: http://www.mimioconnect.com/content/lesson/science_pack
eThemes - For every subject there is something available here. eThemes is a State of Missouri site used to help teachers integrate technology in their lessons. They pull together a variety of interactive websites, informational databases, and lesson plans so you have less searching to do. Use this page to search by grade level: http://ethemes.missouri.edu/grades
Science and Math Portal - I haven’t really seen such an easy to use search portal for math. The resources have a large range of both information and interactives. You should bookmark for those last minute reteach ideas. http://msteacher.org/
Interactivate - The above site often links to this. Everyone in math or science should know about these Java based apps that help students manipulate concepts and experiment. Use them on a Smartboard or Mimio or in a computer lab. Either way, they are an excellent way for students to gain a higher level of understanding. Yes, they are aligned to Virginia sols. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/
