Am I the Barrier to my Students’ Full
Tech Integration?
http://www.cfmediaview.com/lp1.aspx?v=6_1626690528_72630_33
It is not from a place of fear, I am all for technology and using it well.
It is rather from my own ignorance.
Often I don’t know what I don’t know.
Often I don’t know whether a tool will work for the thing we are doing.
Often I get a little scared, wondering whether they will be able to be
successful if they veer off the beaten path.
Often I assume that I have to be the expert and this should know
everything and have all of the answers, giving all of the permissions.
Pernille Ripp is the the author of
Passionate Learners – Giving Our Classroom Back to Our Students ,

Am I the Barrier to my Students’ Full Tech Integration?
Barriers:
It’s one more thing to do.
It is overwhelming.
It will be chaotic.
My subject matter won’t work.
It will be replaced with another idea soon.
I don’t want to integrate more technology or don’t have access.
I won’t be a good teacher.
I have to do the same as all the other teachers in my subject or
grade level.
Parents/administrators/community will be upset.

blogging in the classroom
Three Tips for Classroom Blogging Projects
by William Ferriter
http://blog.williamferriter.com/2014/08/27/three-tips-for-classroom-blogging-projects/
Based on almost ten years of trying to
make blogging a part of the work that my
students do in the classroom — might be
useful to you:
166-345
Tip One:
Create ONE Cause-Driven Classroom Blog
That’s why I recommend that
teachers always START classroom
blogging projects with ONE classroom
blog that EVERY student can make
contributions to.
167-345
Tip Two:
Create blogs that are focused on a specific
theme or topic rather than general blogs that
contain content across several domains and/or
interest areas
For an example of this kind of blogging project,
check out the Sugar Kills blog — a site that is
designed to raise awareness about the amount
of added sugar in the foods that today’s tweens
and teens eat.
168-345
Tip Three:
Get Your Students READING Blogs
Doing so gives students samples of the kinds of
writing that blogs make possible.
They can spot topics for new posts and post
styles that they might never have considered.
Encourage your students to become active in
the comment sections of the blogs that they are
reading
169-345
Tip Three:
Recruit Commenters to Push Against Student Thinking
Every comment left for a blogger is proof
positive that they DO have an audience and
that they ARE being heard.
Every comment is an opportunity for student
bloggers to have their thinking challenged.
— and the tension that results whenever
thinking is challenged ALWAYS leads to new
learning as students are forced to refine and
polish their positions on topics that they care
about.
170-345
Need an example of this intellectual revision
Look at the public challenge in action.
Then check out this comment, left
on a post that my students wrote about the
amount of sugar that teens and tweens
can eat on a daily basis. Then,
check out the action that the comment
provoked in my student writers.

Top 5 Presentation Tools for Teachers an
d Learners
http://ictevangelist.com/top-5-presentation-tools-teachers-learners/
1 – Haiku Deck - This is available as an app and now as a web tool. It creates beautiful clean and word
minimal presentations. Brilliant as it uses creative commons images, and also as students can’t just read off
slides.
2 – PowToon - This is a lovely little animation style presentation tool, which really helps to engage learners
in creating a whole presentation, not just about creating words on a slide. It also allows a lot of creativity in how
the presentation will look, so children can really take ownership of their work
3 – Slid.es - In many ways this is similar to PowerPoint, but has a very polished professional look. The
templates are easy to use, and even younger learners will be able to achieve a high level of work. Good for
building confidence, and developing literacy skills.
4 – Presentation in G drive. The key to the power of this tool is in its ability to allow children to
collaborate. You can allot one slide per child and have them working on their own topic, but allow them to peer
assess each others work with FiSH (Friendly, Specific and helpful) comments. This is true collaborative working
facilitated by a digital tool.
5 – VideoScribe - This tool is an app, which can be a bit tricky to get the hang out, but provides as unique
feel to a presentation, which allows allows you to choose background music, and for learners to do a voice over. I
have done some work on AppSmashing (using more than one app to produce creative results) and this is a great
one for that as you can import the product from the camera roll into iMovie to produce a more polished result
along with other assets you might want to include.

9 Creative Storytelling Tools That Will Make
You Wish You Were A Student Again
By Kim Fortso
http://thejournal.com/articles/2012/10/22/9-storytelling-ipad-apps-and-web-tools
.aspx
1. Popplet
2. My StoryMaker
3. StoryLines for Schools
4. ZooBurst
5. Sock Puppets
6. Meograph
7. XtraNormal
8. MentorMob
9. Storybird
261-345
2. My StoryMaker
Colorful characters (think pirates and little blue men),
whimsical props and scenery and an endless number of ways
to put them together . “My StoryMaker lets you scaffold what
you’re doing with the app,” Bellow said. “For instance, if you
have two characters--a witch and a genie holding an apple-you can click on the genie and say ‘give,’ and the app will
write, ‘The genie gives the apple to the witch,’” Bellow
explained. “But what I love most about it is that you can
actually alter the story in any way you want. You can
incorporate vocabulary words and all sorts of material.” Full
disclosure: it’s kind of fun for adults, too.
262-345
5. Sock Puppets
An homage to those endearing creatures
from the pre-iPad era, this mobile app lets
students record their own dialogue to be
acted out by--sock puppets. Drag-anddrop scenery and a voice modifier that
adapts a speaker’s tone of voice to a
character make it a great tool for younger
kids learning the foundation of story,
Bellow said.
263-345
6. Meograph
Criswell commends Meograph’s method of
“four-dimensional storytelling” by adding
time and place to stories. “I think the multimodal digital timeline that is connected
visually with geography is very powerful,”
she said. Users construct geographic
“Meographs” by embedding content,
hyperlinks, pictures, and videos onto mapbased timelines.
264-345
8. MentorMob
Think of this as “an eBook with the steps
being the chapters,” said Kristin Demidovich,
MentorMob’s communications director. Allows
teachers to aggregate content in sequential
steps by organizing lessons and
supplemental learning materials into “learning
playlists,” compilations of videos, articles, and
uploaded files such as PDFs or images that
are “easy to learn from and share,”

A Whole New World
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never
knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
that now I'm in a whole new
world with you

5 STEM Tools You Can Use For Any Subject
By Manorama Talaiver, Paula Klonowski Leach and Stephanie Playton
Squishy Circuits (right) is
a wonderful tool to teach
very young students
about basic concepts in
electricity using
conductive dough.
Students can easily
manipulate the materials
and get the circuit to
work.
292-345
MaKey MaKey
MaKey MaKey is a tool for slightly older children. With
MaKey MaKey, students can make any conductive
material act as the input device for a computer.
Because it comes preprogrammed, students with no
coding experience can use it. But MaKey MaKey also
allows those who want to try coding to experiment.
293-345
LilyPad
LilyPad Arduino (right), a sewable microcontroller,
also reinforces concepts about electricity but is
geared more toward older children, as the manual
dexterity for sewing the components may be a bit
challenging for young students. The LilyPad is also
a wonderful introduction to some basic coding
using the Arduino platform.
294-345
Finch Robot
Finch Robot (left) is appropriate if your
intent is to teach basic coding very
quickly. This robot is ready out of the
box and can support more than a dozen
programming languages and
environments.
295-345
Hummingbird Robotics Kit
Hummingbird Robotics Kit (right) also allows
students to develop basic programming but is
different from Finch in that it offers users great
flexibility and creativity in designing their
robots.

evaluate, and use information.
Common Core: W.8.8.
Gather relevant information from multiple
print and digital sources, using search terms
effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of
each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and
conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism
and following a standard format for citation.
