Hi Jeremy,
instaGrok analyzes the content that is associated with every image to ensure that it doesn't include inappropriate material. It pulls images from across the entire internet, so it has a huge library.
We've been using strict mode on google image search but are still getting some inappropriate images in the results. Unfortunately, most image search engines for kids seem to have a very small library of images. Anyone have any recommendations?
I'm looking for CA K-12 academic standards in XML format (even .xls or .csv). Found a pay-for site at http://academicbenchmarks.org, but I know there might be other sources. I'd appreciate any help!
i would recommend getting a WP theme that takes advantage of WP as a CMS and not wasting time in dreamweaver... e.g., a theme that comes with static page templates (full-width, etc.) that you can code through WP's HTML editor and customize the…
we use google sites & docs... use a G-site as the wiki, but use G-docs as the pages for terms, then create a menu in the site linking terms to the docs... we've had 20 kids editing at the same time in docs... it only gets tricky if 2+ kids…
when i embed glogs in wordpress, not only do i have to change the pixel values according to ratio, there's also a scale % number you have to edit as well... see example below... changed 960w down to 555, but also scale from 100 to 57...
e.g.…
Actually, a Google account comes with docs but doesn't include gmail. (You would have to register with an email address of any kind, though.) The best solution, which we have at our school, is a Google Education account, which allows you to…
your parents don't need gmail and you've got at least a couple of options:
Click Share > Email as an attachment > Paste in your contact addresses > Choose the format (pasted into email body or attached as word or pdf) > Click…
Does anyone here have experience using LiveText as an educator or a student? What feedback would you give to a K-12 school that was considering the system?
Embarassed to say I haven't checked classroom 2.0 for quite awhile. I'll try to visit here more often - it's definitely worth it. Must be Twitter's fault or something.
Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind passing my message along to students and your colleagues again?
Sorry about that. I'd created that discussion as a demo for how easy it was to set up a discussion at Classroom 2.0 for my fellow building tech coordinators, and forgot to take it down. But, if I do need help in Articulate (and I just might) I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks!
With your work in Education Technology, 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.
Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from California.
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
I'll come to visit. I am looking for specific stuff on Egypt right now so I breezed through this site. Have you taken a look at webquest.org? That is the kind of thing I really want to do. I want to have a little more spiffy looking site than what warriorlife provides. Not that I hate warriorlife, but it is just not visually appealing and easy to work with. Let's keep talking and working. Chuck
