Take 5! Integration Update - September 1, 2010 (Vol.2/#1)


Here is your 1st installment of the
Take 5! Integration Update 
for the 2010-2011 school year. 


“Take 5” is a weekly 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 15-30 minutes a week (yes, that's been increased from last year!) to focus on finding resources and ideas that will improve student learning and prepare them for their future!

===================================

Tips and Tools for Teachers - Beginning of year reminders...
  • YouTube -- Did you hear that teachers (JH, HS and soon Elem) now have access to YouTube without being blocked? Just remember to do your searches and screen preparations OFF the projector (not with students watching) in case something unexpected shows up! If there are questionable related videos or you prefer a "clean look," try one of these options:
YouTube XL - http://www.youtube.com/xl
QuietTube - follow directions here - http://quietube.com  
  • Thinkfinity - free resources and lessons for teachers from Verizon -- Click on the "New to Thinkfinity" link on the right side to learn more!

Ponderings

Learning Opportunities
  1. In the right margin of this blog, enter your email to receive future postings into your email Inbox (Take 5s and more!) -- plan on 1-3 posts per week.
  2. District Professional Development Opportunities - Calendar 
  3. NWOET's Scanner Newsletter - pdf (August 2010) - includes listings for fall PD opportunities (online and face-to-face)

;-) Just for Fun! (and a little learning, perhaps)
