Thumbnail
I just started as an eLearning Specialist for a medical malpractice insurance company, and I'm struggling with the writing of learning objectives.  I'll try and explain.Basically, our overall goals are to educate our physicians on ways to avoid risk (i.e. being sued for malpractice).  The learning objectives we currently write seem to include language like, "The learner will be able to show empathy in his/her practice."  This, of course, is faulty, as we can't actually measure the physician's…See More

Another question for my colleagues: Would a short video tutorial of how to use the iPods be useful to seventh graders? Or might it be better to rely on 'expert' students to teach one another? I've found that if I create a Word…

Jason, Thanks for the advice on adding info. to the cards. I've been debating with my co-teacher as to how explicit my directions should be in regards to such projects. We're finding that my lowest readers especially will tend to ignore…

Good catch on the spelling of "battery". I'll have to go back and reprint and re-laminate those pages now, but I'm glad you spotted it before my students did! Thanks! Yes, I am planning on paired activities, as my grant only…

I definitely see the potential for Evernote in the classroom. Unfortunately, not all of my junior high school students have e-mail addresses, which are required in order to create an account. Any ideas of alternatives?

Jason, Just thought I'd let you know that I plan on recording audiobooks myself using Audacity software; were I to have iPods, I would simply sync them all to my iTunes library, and all students would have a copy. I've recorded myself…

I've just been told by my district that Moodle is a better choice than WordPress MU. I've been exploring the Moodle website, and find it much more difficult to navigate than WordPress. Is that simply because the district has yet to install…

I just received a quote from my local Apple rep., and one cart costs about $2,300. I'm writing a grant for these devices, and I'm including the cost of some Griffin clear cases for each iPod at a cost of about $10 a piece.
