The project is somewhat open ended since A) this is…See More

Not appropriate for adults, although cute. I use this site for my youngest students (ages 3-4) to learn the mouse. http://www.headsprout.com/code/launchMA.cfm For the youngest kids, I do a lot of matching games and coloring pages so they get the…

As already mentioned, be sure to include administration. If you choose to respond to the parent email, my suggestion is to blind copy admin on your responses.

ISTE Teacher NETS growth assessment scale

I'm in charge of the tech PD in my building and would like to start tracking teacher growth from year to year. I'd like to use the NETS-T as my list of "objectives" or "standards" and have teachers self assess or rate themselves - ie awareness, beginner, integrator, mentor - or something like that.Before I start reinventing the wheel, anyone know of such an assessment tool or something similar?See More

Bernadette Roche replied to Patrick H's discussion 'I'm looking for Google Docs, PBworks, and Glogster classroom ideas'
Not sure what you might be looking for - lesson plans, ideas, etc. I used Google Doc with a class to create a text messaging glossary and another class used Glogster to create decades collages illustrating important events and people.

Try Media Converter also. You can upload a file, converts on line, then download the converted file. Very quick for me so far.

Unfortunately, even the other book-creator we know, Big Universe, has gone to fee-for-service, as well. We at TeachersFirst.com just discovered all this today. Let's hope the economy does not take down any more great tools. You might try…

Hi Bernadette,

With your interest in Online Collaboration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.
