Participate 2 Digital Learning Community


*1. Kahn Academy This is a free program that has instructional videos.  There is a personalized learning dashboard.  You can look for math, science, and much more on this site.
*2. Common Sense Media.  This site helps you show students examples of digital citizenship by showing videos and there are lessons for teachers. We have used this due to the age of our students. They need to learn now how their digital footprint lives forever.

 *3. Eduptopia  This site helps teachers use best practices on a variety of topics related to technology and teaching. I learned that it was founded by George Lucas.

 4.  Discovery Education  This is a free program. It has standards based content.  Helps teachers use differentation. 

 5.  Edmoto  This site uses google apps for education.  There is a parent app where what is taught during the day gets reinforced at night.  This helps the whole family get involved. You can share when assignments are due and classroom announcements.  I love this idea!

 I joined Common Sense Media because I had used a few lessons before, but didn't realize how much was available not only as an education, but as a parent as well.

 To make it easier for students to join DLC's it is important to show them the different types of resources that are available to them.

Many students still read like a "robot". We are trying to help them read like we talk. Using this program allowed me to show the powerpoint and read it so they would have an example. When students are out, they can look online where I post work and be able to continue from outside the classroom. Here is a link to my video.
