A Thought

"Imagine a school with children that can read or write, but teachers who
cannot, and you have a metaphor of the Information Age in which we live."
-Peter Cochrane

Comic Creators

http://www.bitstrips.com

This is a web based tool.

Students can create a comic strip based on curriculum topic.
Example: Show your understanding of the skeletal system by creating a comic strip.

Recommendation: Work on the dialogue first. The content or dialogue is most important. Then have the students add the characters.

Google Docs Rocks

Go to docs.google.com

Students can collaborate on spreadsheets and documents.

Teachers can create presentations, websites, and surveys.

Click on Forms. Create a form. You will be given a URL at the bottom of the form for the survey. Copy the URL. Post this on your blog, wiki, or website. Data from the survey is automatically added to google docs.

CyberSmart Curriculum

One of the assumptions that are made is that kids are aware of cyber ethics. I feel it is essential they are taught both ethics and Internet safety. CyberSmart has a collection of excellent lessons to teach students both computer ethics and Internet safetly. Explore the site at http://www.cybersmartcurriculum.org/lessonsbygrade/. Lessons are available for grades K-12.
