Tech Tuesday Oct 26th
(No Tech Tuesday next week - However the following week I’ll cover Google Forms on Nov 9th)
Agenda:
Today in room A116: 3 Ways to Reveal. This short demonstration will show how you can use reveal options to keep your presentations intriguing. Use reveal to create anticipation in your class for what comes next.
Resources:
Science: Winners of the 2010 Nikon International Small World Photomicrography Competition. In other words, fabulous photos taken with a microscope. Some of these are well worth showing because they are such great quality. The actual winners are posted here but the other site has cool quizes asking “what is this?”
Math: Smartboard activities that are ready made make drill and practice fun. AAA Math is a good site for simple activities. The page links to Properties of Multiplication where you can scroll down and find a few interactive quizes. (ESOL there is a Spanish Version of this website.)
Science: The Periodic Table of Videos is just what a middle schooler needs to get a better understanding or even do a bit a research. I think you’ll love the British accents since this site originate from the University of Nottingham. For the nerdier version, try Periodic Table of Comic Books. This is a listing of all the times the element is mentioned in a comic book. (I believe most of them are from the UK.)
Social Studies: If you haven’t checked out the latest from the National Arichives your missing a key ingredient to teaching your curriculum. DocsTeach is a huge collection of interactive activities that combine primary sources with Blooms Taxonomy. And they all can be done on Smartboards, Netbooks, laptops OR if you register, you can create your own. And it is all very easy to do.
World Languages: Need to make it easy to type accents for students or yourself then don’t bother with symbols in MS Word? Just go to Typeit. The beauty of this site is simplicity. If you are assigning one or two sentences for students, this is the perfect place to ensure they have the letters and accents necessary. It is necessary to copy and paste from here but if you have built a blog on Blackboard, they can paste it there! (must use cntrl c and cntrl v)
