Any ideas out there for using technology (or other ways) to teach content area vocabulary to special ed / low achieving kids? I teach 7th grade special ed and struggle with getting students who have a weak basic vocabulary to remember "epidermis" or "Subsistence farming." So much of the curriculum / test is vocab, this plays a big role in their school success. I've tried using visuals, grouping words, and of course rote memory but I wish there were a website that could link images off the web…

I have had some colleagues wondering about the ability to create customized vocabulary online or IWB games? The customization they were looking for was to be able to insert their own definitions. We do like Spelling City for spelling and vocab games with our own words, but they do not let us put in our own definitions. Any leads??

Hi everyone! I'm running a community service project @ MIT trying to get kids to make videos about SAT Vocabulary <a href="http://brainyflix.com">BrainyFlix.com</a>.<br />
<br />
I was looking for some feedback:<br />
- How long do you think the videos need to be? For learning words to be efficient and memorable? Should there be a time limit? You can see some examples @ the homepage.<br />
- Why would teachers/students NOT participate? We were fortunate enough to land a corporater sponsor so that we can give out a…
Hi everyone! I'm running a community service project @ MIT trying to get kids to make videos about SAT Vocabulary <a href="http://brainyflix.com">BrainyFlix.com</a>.<br />

I was looking for some feedback:<br />
- How long do you think the videos need to be? For learning words to be efficient and memorable? Should there be a time limit? You can see some examples @ the homepage.<br />
- Why would teachers/students NOT participate? We were fortunate enough to land a corporater sponsor so that we can give out a small cash prize and iTunes. And making sketches is fun! So to us, this is a no-brainer. But if that were so, we would have a much better conversion rate of viewers signing up to be reminded to participate. Please let me know what people's hangups may be.<br />
- Anything else you think could use improvement or addressing?<br />
<br />
I look forward to hearing from you guys :]
