David Spencer replied to Jane Strohm's discussion 'Science Fair 2.0'
We've used google docs for the past 2 years to manage our science fair. Our stuents have to complete a total of six submissions and each submission can be marked directly on the document using the built-in word processor. This allows students…
David Spencer replied to Gail's discussion 'free and safe web hosting for students?'
Have you looked into weebly? It's a free webhost. You might also consider using a wiki. A free wiki can be created at www.wikispaces.com.
Good Luck!
David Spencer replied to Andrew's discussion 'Web 2.0 in the Elementary Classroom'
For an extremely comprehensive, well organized grouped list of web 2.0 applications, which are arranged by subject, try http://simplespark.com. I've discovered many tools here including the following ones that I use with my secondary school…
David Spencer replied to Tracy Matozzo's discussion 'What should I buy?'
Actually, a wiimote smartboard consists of three pieces of hardware and one piece of software. First, the hardware:
1. A wiimote (about $45.00 at Walmart)
2. A bluetooth adapter (unless there is already one in the computer that you're going to…
David Spencer replied to Tracy Matozzo's discussion 'What should I buy?'
What about Wiimote smartboards? They're pretty cheap ($50 per), support multitouch and can be used with the screen that's probably in each of the rooms already.
David Spencer replied to Hassan Wilson's discussion 'Course Websites'
I've used a course website for mathematics and physics for about 9 years now. I use it as a repository for documents including adobe acrobat files of the daily lessons, interesting images and videos, crossword puzzles, the electronic textbook…
David Spencer replied to Jody Allard's discussion 'Student Response Devices (Clicker!!!) Who has them and how do you use them?'
I think the web address you wanted to suggest was The Why, What, and How of Getting the Benefits of Student Response ...
David Spencer replied to Chuck Serventi's discussion 'Classroom Responders for elementary school classrooms'
Hey Chuck,
I teach grades 11 and 12 but the system I use (IR clicker system from einstruction) should be a good match because the clickers themselves are simple, durable and warranteed for life. The system is quick to setup and use so you can use…
David Spencer replied to Tara's discussion 'Wii and Interactive Whiteboard'
I've built one and ot works great! I've used it with students and when presenting to other teachers. It's much better than using an actual whiteboard because you can use the screen that's probably already in your room.
David Spencer replied to Bridget Perry-Gore's discussion 'Wikis in the Math Classroom'
I have to agree, I've never heard that one before. I'll have to try that one out with my students to se how many of them have heard it.

David Spencer replied to Robert Barker's discussion 'Student Privacy'
While reading Will Richardson's book (Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms), I came across a letter that he sends home to parents that goes over the "rules" of blogging. You can find it at…

HTH!
David Spencer replied to Matthew Allen's discussion 'Using Prezi.com'
A Prezi tutorial that I found useful was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0kriH9dKzk. It's called ice cream for everyone! I've been using Prezi for about 6 months now for P.D. and I showed it to all of my classes last semester before they…
