Aimee replied to Lincoln Whitaker's discussion converting video files to work on iPads"I like Any Video Converter and it's free! My school district downloads it onto our computers :)"
Aimee replied to E Cohen's discussion Show Your Work (in math)"You are on the right track, so don't give up. Using web 2.0 tools is a great way for your student to explore and solidify important math concepts. Tools like Google Docs enable teachers to quickly administer quizzes and analyze assessment data.…"
Aimee replied to Melissa's discussion Word Work/Spelling......"I use Word Journeys by Kathy Ganske. It is similar to Words Their Way and now has pre-made lists.

Aimee posted a discussionWeb 2.0 Release Forms/Acceptable Use
As the school year begins and I am getting ready to use technology to increase learning in my classroom, I realize my district's student information release form is not adequate for the technology I am using in my classroom. I use blogs, wikis, glogs, voicethreads and other web 2.0 tools with my fourth graders. What type of release forms do you use with your parents? I am planning on creating one and would love to see examples or hear ideas about what tech savvy school districts/classrooms…See More
Aimee replied to Jenni Girl's discussion Word Work for Intermediate Students"I use Word Journeys and Mindful of Words: Spelling and Vocabulary Explorations 4-8 by Kathy Ganske.

Aimee replied to Nick Artenstein's discussion Phonics Flip Charts/PowerPoints"When I'm looking for a PowerPoint presentation I go to http://www.pppst.com/themes.html. There are thousands of topics a-z and each link brings you to a page with powerpoints and game sites on that topic."
Aimee replied to Mike Uleau's discussion Help with wikispaces"Your wiki looks great and makes me want to revise mine. I love the visuals and widgets you've included! I checked it all out and everything worked/loaded perfectly."
Aimee replied to Rena Shifflet's discussion Looking for a free blog portal"I would check out kidblogs.org. Individual student blogs are connected with a home page (with links to other members of the class). It is free and easy to use. It doesn't have the customization (themes, colors etc.) you probably have with…"
Aimee replied to Melissa V's discussion Autism in the inclusion classroom"I teach 4th grade and have had several students with autism and anxiety. I don't know your student's strengths and challenges, I'm not sure what you've tried, or what type of support this student receives, but I recommend you try…"
Aimee replied to Anne Gorman's discussion Setting up classroom blogs"I would recommend Kidblog.org. It only takes a few minutes to set up a class (including usernames and passwords for students) and it creates the class page and all the links to the student page.

Silvern's discussion Best Blogging sites for classes and students?"You may want to try kidblogs.org . . . .it's easy to use, FREE and has a class blog page (with links to all students) and individual student blogs.

Aimee replied to Kevin S.'s discussion Web 2.0 Services and Student Accounts. What do you do?"My students don't have email accounts either. Lots of sites have educator accounts, free or for a small fee (voicethread, edublogs etc.) where teachers can create student usernames and passwords. Kidblogs.org is great for creating a simple blog…"
Aimee replied to Laura Frauenberg's discussion How are you integrating technology??"How about a project with Voicethread and primary sources? I just read a post on the Voicethread for Educators Ning asking for ideas on this topic. I love the idea and am looking for a project I can do with my class. It could be a powerful pairing of…"

- About Me
- I teach 4th grade at Malletts Bay School. I am a member of the Lighthouse team at MBS. My current passion in education is differentiating with technology. I think that technology has the potential to maximize learning for all students, and I'm loving exploring the possibilities.
I co-teach a graduate course, Differentiating Literacy with Technology, at the University of Vermont. This April I will be a member of a round table discussion on technology integration in education with Julie Coiro and in June I will co-present a workshop at ISTE's National Convention.
