Code.org is a non-profit dedicated to growing computer science education by making it available in more schools, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer programming. We believe computer science should be part of the core curriculum in education, alongside other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, such as biology, physics, chemistry and algebra.

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve spent some time addressing my earlier commitments to flipping at least some portion of my Language Arts classes. (You can learn about my ongoing saga at “4 Ways Flipping Forces Fundamental Change” and at “Why I Haven’t Flipped…Yet”). Reading FlipYour Classroom by Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams provided practical advice and a justification for flipping, Learning about the Stanford studies that suggest better results from flipping your flipping (that is, doing hands-on work in the classroom first, reinforced by flipped lessons at night) But, ultimately, what I needed to do was to dive in and try out some tools with my kids and my curriculum in mind. The unexpected result: I’ve had to acknowledge something I hadn’t really thought about — I am a video-phobe. Via Kim Flintoff, Jarrod Johnson, Kay Lehmann

from the text: "Bergmann and Sams are quick to point out that simply transferring a boring lecture to video will not transform anyone’s teaching in a way that dramatically benefits students."
so true

In the spirit of Thanksgiving we decided we would share a short list of tech tools we are thankful for. Most who have met us know we like to discuss only a few apps or tools that we know make a difference.

There are not too many better projects or app options out there than those created by students for the benefit of other students. Checkout the student made app done in partnership with Jackson Area Career Center and county students.
The app provides writing prompts, 12 categories of questions, and more.

One of the issues I talked about in Teachers' Guide to Digital Footprint is the use of students' pictures while creating profiles in social networking ( or any other ) platform. There are several alternatives students can use and one of which is to try creating and uploading avatars. These web tools are ideal for creating avatars. There is also the possibility of creating a cartoon out of one's own pictures. Creating a cartoon out of your real picture is a good way to disguise your real identity while in the same time preserving your own feel and touch. The web tools below are really helpful for cartonizing your pictures. Try them out with your students a. ( Please note that there are several other websites to create cartoons but I personally do not recommend them for students and that's why I limited this list to only 5 tools ) Click headline to read more and access hot links to tools-- Via Chuck Sherwood, Former Senior Associate, TeleDimensions, Inc, Dean J.

Robin Good's insight:
"Zeeik It" is a new bookmarklet from Zeeik, a video curation app, that allows you to easily collect and save into discrete collections all of the YouTube videos found on Twitter or on most any web page.
Zeeik video collections are a good way to create valuable content that can be embedded in any article or guide and that can be served according to multiple categories and criteria as you can see from this specific example:http://zeeik.com/zeeik/-21828800 ; (click "Cool Colors" or "Warm Colors").
You can find the new Zeeik It bookmarklet on the top right of the Zeeik home page here: http://zeeik.com/ ;
Free to use.

With iPads, once we begin thinking beyond the confines of a page, anything is possible. Consider the video below created several years ago by two of my students. First they wrote plot summaries. Then they wrote character sketches. From there, they crafted paragraphs about theme, tying the visual and auditory elements of their videos back to the books. Finally, they created storyboards and bibliographies before producing and publishing their final product. Via Nik Peachey

I have often used this site for finding tools for my classes. There are some good links and they are quite well categorized in order to find tools for specific tasks. I don't like the esthetics of the page but the info is worth a look.

My students love doing scavenger hunts, but I've never tried one like this before. This could be really cool for reviews.
Thank you John Evans for sharing this infographic on creating QR code scavenger hunts via iPads on your scoop.it/t/ipads-in-education page.
