ratzelster's curator insight, May 21, 2:20 PM

There is a huge push to embrace PBL...this article does a very nice job of defining how project and problem based learning is different.  What are you using in your class?

Marcia Powell's curator insight, May 21, 2:26 PM

This is great, because it talks about the evolution of #pbl, and tells me how I can get better as a teacher.   This should be of particular interest to anyone trying to transform their classroom.

Jenny Lussier's curator insight, May 21, 9:06 PM

6 Steps to Add Voice Comments to Google Docs ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

6 Steps to Add Voice Comments to Google Docs ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Twitter Ed Tech Source | Scoop.it

"With this new application in Google Docs ( Drive ), teachers can now record their audio comments and share them with their students. I see this as a better way to give feedback on students' work and I do believe there are things we can express with our voice that no written code could ever capture like the tone and intonation..etc."


Via John Evans
Linda Bonvillain's curator insight, May 20, 12:33 PM

This is AWESOME!!  Teachers will LOVE having the ability to add audio comments.

Becky Roehrs's curator insight, May 20, 1:17 PM

Update/Tip: I tried it out-if you have to change your original document-just copy it and add voice to it-121 Writing doesn't sync with your Google Docs updates.

 

Instructors are always looking for ways to add audio feedback-I'd much prefer adding voice messages to my student's Google Docs then just text like I have in the past.

Anne Macdonell's curator insight, May 22, 10:43 AM

A huge added bonus for student engagement; also available in our Schoology LMS.
