Tech Tuesday - Turning Points with Horizon
November 29th
Today I would like to cover how to use TurningPoint SRS clickers with the Horizon tests.
- When is this the best option
- How to create a test in Horizon
- How to set up and assign clickers to students
- Formative assessment to guide your instruction
Resources:
Science: A TOOO COOL place to simulate all kinds of science related ideas. Here is a short list of Java based simulations: Build an Atom, Acid and Bases, States of Matter, Force of Gravity and more. These are created by University of Colorado. Work great on a Mimio Board. Yes, they can be downloaded to your computer or saved on the L drive. Please grab what you want now and find those connections to the curriculum.
History: How are computers used in history today? This video summarizes the Republic of Letters project at Standford. The project follows the routes the letters during the Enlightenment. What used to take years to compile now takes seconds. Worth a look if you want to discuss careers in history.
Foldables for Any Subject: If you are a foldables fan, here are several sites to give you ideas and instructions. Catawba County, WordPop, US History (State of Virginia), Math Foldables, Science Blog.
Video Source: Sqooltube is a categorized source for educational video. But don’t let the name fool you, they also have lots of resources other than video. I’m particularly impressed with the number of interactive website links available. Although geared toward elementary, you might find what you are looking for to help review or differentiate.
MS Office: I’ve had a few folks ask for some basic tutorials on MS Office 2007. I am all in favor but usually everyone really wants a specific topic. This website offers basic instruction with very easy to find topics. I particularly like the use of text mixed with video.
