Jeff Hyson replied to Chester R. Cruzado's discussion 'WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS SCHOOL POLICY? Teachers will be suspended if they will use social networking sites in education.'

I assume this is a religious (Christian?) institution... I have experience with this type of censorship myself, having gone K-12 in a Christian school, and 4 years at a Christian college. I understand that in that environment, especially in K-12,…

Help with my iPhone app

Hi all,I'm a middle school science teacher and I am creating an educational iPhone app for younger students (like preschool). I would like the input of other teachers/school tech people as to how to improve my app. It's already for sale on the app store, and it's called "Games for Kids" (original right?) Easiest way to find it is with a search for "eieio" which is my company.If you feel so inclined, use one of these free codes below (like an itunes gift card) and download it for free. Please…See More

Jeff Hyson replied to Shawn Kibel's discussion 'Seeking Teachers Using Free Image Editing Software to Interview for a Podcast'

Hi Shawn, I have used both DrawIt Lite and Gimp with students. This has generally been more of a individual or very small group instructional setting, due to the complexity of the tools (particularly Gimp). I'd love to give some insight. PS -…

Jeff Hyson replied to Fred Ravan's discussion 'Adult Summer Reading'

I'm planning to read something else by Gabriel Garcia Marquez - I would describe him as the modern/ spanish embodiment of Hemmingway. Pick up Memories of my Melancholy Whores or Love in the Time of Cholera. Both stunning works. Here are some…

Jeff Hyson replied to Steven Carpenter's discussion 'Teaching the Science/Economics/Sociology/Politics of Climate Change'

Hi Steven, ScienceTech 2.0 Well, it's not much of a resource yet, but I'm hoping you and others will join and share your ideas. This topic is a good one for the site. I'd take a look at http://www.nextgenerationearth.org, which is a…

Jeff Hyson replied to Hall Monitor's discussion 'Corporal Punishment Right for 21st Century Schools?'

I'd say that your "Responsibility Model" would work great is students were young adults. However, in the elementary grades, a child's primary motive for behaving is not to get in trouble. They aren't necessarily motivated…

Jeff Hyson replied to Megan Bailey's discussion 'English teachers: Online Debate?'

Hi Kate, If Megan isn't interested in debating another school, I'd be interested in having my 8th graders participate. I know New Jersey isn't nearly as exotic as Australia, but it may still be interesting. We are an urban school made…

Thanks, Julie, I'll look up the information, and if appropriate, hang it on my website for teachers. I know Blackboard is costly.

Julie Baird replied to Jeff Hyson's discussion 'Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?'

Hi Anne, Just wanted to let you know that Blackboard and Moodle are similar. They both allow teachers to set up a "course" and students can interact with the material in that "course." Blackboard costs and Moodle is free. It…

Anne Pemberton replied to Jeff Hyson's discussion 'Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?'

Nancy, I wish I had invented Blackboard or Moodle. I still don't know what Moddle is --- I hear the word flashed around on here a lot. Blackboard is nice. I used that when I took online classes with Cal State to get my online teaching and…

Anne Pemberton replied to Jeff Hyson's discussion 'Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?'

Nancy, Thanks for the advice to pass on to Brenda about seeking a grant. Unfortunately, I don't know if she has access to the country grant writer. This county has a bloated central office and they tend not to let teachers do things they…

Nancy Bosch replied to Jeff Hyson's discussion 'Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?'

I've recently read The Fun They Had to my students, you should have invented Blackboard or Moodle and you could have been a millionaire.

Nancy Bosch replied to Jeff Hyson's discussion 'Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?'

Anne, I think you have based your lengthy arguement with Indigo on a specific classroom you are aware of. Rather than complain, step up and work with the district to provide the technology the students need, As a retiree you you are in the perfect…

Nancy Bosch replied to Jeff Hyson's discussion 'Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?'

Anne, You've got it wrong--historically special ed kids on both ends, reading teachers, speech teachers, and any other specialists are always left out of the technology loop. Those kids' access to computers is suppose to be in the regular…

Nancy Bosch replied to Jeff Hyson's discussion 'Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?'

Indigo, No offense taken--I'm one of the most non-confrontational people you could ever meet. I won't even tell my sons to put down the toilet seat and the oldest one is 33!! I'm pretty impressed that you can keep the discussion…

Anne Pemberton replied to Jeff Hyson's discussion 'Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?'

Indigo, I don't want your lunch money, I want you to put the hardward and software in the special ed classrooms. When you get over having your nose bent out of shape, perhaps you will connect those special ed teachers to…
