This week, I found so many tech tips possibilities that it was hard to choose what to feature this week!
Today's tip is NBC Learn. http://www.nbclearn.com Here real situations have been connected to various topics and shown with real video clips. One section is Science of NFL Football. These would be great to pull out later in the week with the Big Game happening on Sunday! It would be a great anticipatory set for a lesson. You might be able to pull in students that normally aren't interested. :)
The link above is only to the FREE resources and full videos. There is a subscription side of the site. I will investigate the cost and benefits of that site throughout the remainder of the semester.
Lastly, tomorrow Feb. 1, 2012 is Digital Learning Day. http://www.digitallearningday.org/
It is a day that is encouraging teachers to teach with a new piece of digital learning or media in their lesson.
"Digital Learning Day is a nationwide
celebration of innovative teaching and learning through digital media
and technology that engages students and provides them with a rich,
personalized educational experience. On Digital Learning Day, a majority
of states, hundreds of school districts, thousands of teachers, and
nearly 2 million students will encourage the innovative use of
technology by trying something new, showcasing success, kicking off
project-based learning, or focusing on how digital tools can help
improve student outcomes."
So here's my challenge- The first 2 teachers who try something new (technology or media) in their classes on WEDNESDAY or the rest of the WEEK and COMMENT on this blog will get a lunch of their choosing next week! READY SET GO!!!
