I have used various ways of sharing homework with students, but our school has every teacher using a different method and it is very difficult for kids and parents to keep track of it all. I have made a video of […]

Grant,
I just came out of my daughter’s portfolio share today so it was great to read a little bit from an ES teacher’s perspective. I have to say as a parent, I love that Maya has a blog that shows much of her […] -

I am curious as to what other schools’ policies are regarding music in classrooms. Our school does not allow kids to put headphones on and listen to their own music, but teachers can play music on speakers to the […] -

Jeff, I didn’t mean that as a criticism of the assignment. I really enjoyed the assignment. It has been a great experience being a student again and seeing assignments from that perspective. As a student we […]

Seth Blodgett commented on the post, Classroom Devices: Less noticeable?, on the site Full Court Press 2 months, 2 weeks ago
It seems that because students find social uses of their technology that our first instinct is to ban them from class, and then we later (after many years) allow that technology when we figure out how to use that […]

One of the best parts of taking the Coetail course is getting to see things again through the eyes of a student. One of the things that always bothered me about assessments is after spending so much time giving […]

As some of you may have read in one of my previous posts about Facebook, I attempted to use Facebook for some role-paying activities for my 8th grade students when studying the American Revolution. When we got it […] -

Julie,
While students will want to use their favorite music from iTunes, they can also get music from plenty of royalty free music sites. The music is not popular, but its pretty good for these projects. I […]

Facebook’s algorithms finally caught up with us and we were shut down. Now we are using Today’ Meet, which gets the job done even though it is not as fun for the kids.

One of the interesting things about digital communication is that it is hard to tell who is an introvert or who is an extrovert. I have read your blogs before and found them interesting and thoughtful and that […]

I finally got all of my students up and running with Facebook and it worked great! I learned that Facebook only asks for a cell phone authentication if any red flags have been raised by its computer data […]

Sarah,
Today I managed to get a whole class on to Facebook and I did not have to use Edmodo so I am not necessarily planning to use that software, but I am interested in finding students to be an audience for […]

Jeff,
I do try to give very little homework. In fact, my students spent 180 minutes making a 2-3 minute video in class (after they had finished the first part of the project and their research). The […]

Sanne,
Thanks for the suggestion, Sanne. We use Edublog in this class, and it would be great for blogging, but I wanted something that was more interactive like Facebook where everyone could see everyone […]
