Blogs in the Class

With all the reading, perusing and posting on blogs this week it does seem to be a good tool to use with students too. In my differentiating instruction class we have talked about how blogs could be used to help student reflect and summarize. It is also a way for students to clarify their learning.Now I am wondering about how to structure it in the class setting. Maybe some type of rubric. My son said he used it with his college students, but he developed a rubric that was so detailed, it took…See More

What do you think of my Human Sundial Video? For people teaching Earth Science creating a human sundial at your school could help students understand some concepts about the rotation of Earth and its relationship to the sun. What do you think?

Hi Darrel, Good to hear you like my Ning format. I am not sure all the colors work together, but one thing nice about Nining is that it is fluid and you can change and add things. Give it a try.

Hi Ruth, Ning is a great way to connect students and staff. I've never tried using it for a specific class or topic but there is always time to try it out.

Organic Farm

I just visited an organic teaching farm today at U.C. Santa Cruz. There were a number of interesting and new plants. One interesting learning opportunity was a human sundial. I took some photos and made a short video about it. I know organic foods are popular in some parts of California. What do you think about them? How do your students feel about them. Are they even an issues.

You are right, we can learn from each other. I think the Ning resource is one way to start. I like the suggestion form Cynthia's ning about collaborating on web 2.0 resources. This is one way to start.

This is a lot of work, but it is so interesting to learn all these new things. I like how we really discover things on our own and when we need help the other classmates have been great.

The flag is on the back of the ferry that takes you from Ellis Island. In the background you can see the Statue of Liberty.
