Thanks for the idea John. I have always used PowerPoint and have sometimes found the videos to not work. I have only just begun to play with the idea of uploading my presentations into Google docs.

Suchi - I agree. I regularly use video clips from YouTube of Google video in my Earth Science classes. It usually involves a lot of time on my part previewing the video and ensuring it meets the objective I have for my students. I have found,…

Have you checked out Mobl21, www.mobl21.com- a great platform that we use at school for one of our classes. It is primarily for informal learning. Though We are enrolled in a Bachelors program, I am sure this will be useful for K12 as well. And…

Been reading this thread quite a few times with interest. One for the things which can make the plethora of educational content out on the web more relevant and impactful is cataloging, mapping and reducing to a relevant subset. We at attano are…

Posted on March 27, 2010 at 6:00pm 0 Comments

With fresh inspiration from a course I just finished here at Stanford on "Casual Learning Technologies for the iPhone" in which we designed casual apps for kids and adults, I've authored a 2-part article for Smartbean. The first is a brief discussion of research on the power of learning through games (including Gee's principles on "good learning" with well-designed games) -… Continue

Redefining "success" to raise heathier, happier kids

Posted on October 7, 2009 at 8:51am 1 Comment

I recently authored this piece for the SmartBean magazine, and thought I'd share it here - Redefining “Success” to Raise Healthier, Happier Kids. I think it's an important message that needs to get out, so that everyone can work together to de-stress our middle and high schoolers - not just parents, but teachers, schools and communities as well.

Hi. I ran across your page while looking for information on creating technology curriculum. I'm a PhD student in learning Sciences and Policy at University of Pittsburgh. I'm helping to develop a sequence of technology courses at a local 6-12 school. You've got some really helpful information on your site! Thanks!

Hi Shuchi,

With you interest in education technology, web apps including Google, and the independence you mainatain as an education technologist, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform, both are web platforms which, I think, match your interest in web apps and platforms and excellent for online learning and collaboration. Also each have feature rich free basic service that seems to work for most people.
