Finally! -- This one is a little behind, but I know you’re busy! Enjoy!
Here is your 11th installment of the Take 5! Integration Update.
“Take 5” is a weekly email update containing information related to teaching and learning for today and beyond...
Take just 5 minutes (or less) to look over these resources and see what might be helpful for your and/or your students. Better yet, set aside at least 15 minutes a week to focus on finding resources and ideas that will improve student learning and prepare them for their future!
Tips and Tools for Teachers
1) Games for SMART Boards - http://www.teacherslovesmartboards.com/games_for_smart_boards
From a great site for SMART Board resources (Teachers Love SMART Boards) -- sign up for their email updates of new posts!
2) PicSearch - http://www.picsearch.com
Since Google or Yahoo images are blocked in schools (for good reason), here’s a quick, easy, safer alternative. It also shows the 4 most popular searches every time you visit — Today: Lady Gaga, Oil spill, England, and Iron Man 2 (interesting that Lady Gaga is more “popular” than an enormous natural disaster in the making!)
(NOTE: if having students search for certain picture topics, be sure to do the search yourself first! Rarely is there a problem on this site, but it could happen. I have used it mostly for “teacher” purposes to find images to use.)
Ponderings
Student Feedback/Surveys – Do you ask students to evaluate you as a teacher? Or the assignments, projects, and/or tests you give? See what Boston students have requested of their teachers, all for the purpose of improving learning... http://bit.ly/aptXHw
Learning Opportunities
Atomic Learning – Watch a 5 minute Jing video showing an overview of the Atomic Learning resource... http://screencast.com/ -- deleted due to REVS information
