Hi! I'm a reading specialist in Vermont. We've found a couple of interventions that have been useful. One is FastTrack, which is a comprehensive program that encompasses phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. Is generally used to…
Nina Kuhn replied to IndyEduktr's discussion 'Moving Away from Textbooks'
I agree with removing textbooks from the classroom. Especially those that are basically out of date by the time they are printed, such as Social Studies textbooks. As a math teacher I have never used a textbook with my students. I…

This idea is really great. First off, we will be saving the trees and contribute to a better environment.
And in using technology to replace textbooks, the possibilites are endless. We can use ebooks as a replacement. We can also make…
Chris Scofield replied to IndyEduktr's discussion 'Moving Away from Textbooks'
Well, in my case, I prefer to have some kind of textbook, but that's only because I teach upper-level high school math, and it helps the kids to be able to see examples worked out in the book. Yes, I give them a lot of examples in class,…

I, too, teach in Indiana, and this year, we are actually not adopting a science series. We are going to use the old text book, but not as we have in the past. Our school recently subscribed to Discovery Education, where we have access to a…

Try the Buck Institute (CA) and anything from the New Tech High School Initiatives (Napa Valley, CA)..
Cheers,

We have a teacher in our school district who teaches a 2-3 class and is so successful using Moodle. If you have a contact address, I can send her name your contact information. She teaches in the Brownsburg Community School Corporation in a suburb…
IndyEduktr replied to James Rolle's discussion 'Using Wikis to Share Resources' in the group Teaching China and Chinese

- Hey Matt, Yes, I've enjoyed running into you when our conference schedules overlap. Think we have lots in common about the way we view things. I'm actually going to be in Indy on Tuesday of this week. My friend Adriana asked me to come speak to the grad school methods class she is teaching. Hope the weather cooperates!

- You asked about Taiwan and Kenya connections. Have a look at my classroom web site for details on projects I've been doing with Taiwan for the past five years - www.smithclass.org -- As for Kenya, I'm working with a school to set up a web presence and at the same time connect their students with my students. It is very slow going due to their lack of technology, but I hope to see more happen as time goes on.

Mark Cruthers said… - Hi Indy,
With your interest in Curriculum (I'm assuming this inclueds online) I recomend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's web based power point presentation platform. Both have a bunch of features and a free basic service I think you'll find useful.
