"What’s the key to effective learning? One intriguing body of research suggests a rather riddle-like answer: It’s not just what you know. It’s what you know about what you know."

Cool ideas! But for MY teachers I DO NOT Recommend downloading the Hard Drive version of Google Drive. For our GAfE it just doesn't work because of the potential for charging you $$$$ if you fill it up!

Thanks, dear Fabienne, this is really insightful. In teaching one might want to progressively move from one level to the next, yet I would expect that one could work on all levels simultaneously. How much more would children learn when they ask their 3-year-old, "What do you think ..."

The Print YouTube bookmarklet extracts the storyboard frames of a video, stitches them all into one big poster and sends it to your printer.
Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
Wow, lots of uses for this one! Imagine using it in an ELD class with a short video, then having students create the narration! Or simply as a demonstration of how to storyboard before students create videos? I tried it with a few videos, and if they're very recent, it didn't work. But it's still a very cool tool to check out!

Digital citizenship is not a one time discussion. It is an ongoing process that needs to be taught to all grade levels and to all stakeholders. Via Nancy White
Mary Reilley Clark's insight:
My contention has been that banning digital devices in school ignores the powerful computer many students carry every day. They need to learn the academic uses for that phone they use to text and Instagram!

Excellent! Must read/must do for every teacher. I love the simplicity and open discussion/ownership this inspires. |
Good introduction for that teacher hesitant to jump in.
