Extractions: I always tell people, "You will have problems when introducing technology into the classroom." But this is no reason not to try to use it. Just be as prepared as possible. In order to prepare for when the network is down or your Internet connection doesn't work, use the two suggestions from previous pages: 1) before class, copy the websites that you hope to visit using a web collection utilities, such asWebwhacker [see II.C.4 above], or 2) before class, print out the webpages and make overheads. When all else fails, always have a back-up activity (song, poem, etc.)

EZedia In The Classroom - Project Ideas eZedia in the classroom project ideas. is just put together a simple list of ideasthat might ways in which you can incorporate multimedia in your classroom. http://www.ezedia.com/education/classroom/library/eZedia_in_the_Classroom.html
Extractions: On one of our other pages, I have suggested some projects for the classroom and/or for staff development. What I want to do here is just put together a simple list of ideas that might act as a springboard for ways in which you can incorporate multimedia in your classroom. Please note that I said "incorporate," not "teach." If the focus is the notion that a teacher will have to stop everything to focus on teaching a software package alone for several weeks, it isn't going to happen. The list of "additional" items to be crammed into the curriculum seems to get longer. Let's shift that focus to where the multimedia authoring software becomes a tool for communicating - ideas, thoughts, learning, questions. Instead of thinking of eZediaMX as an "add-on," ponder for a moment what happens in the classroom when eZediaMX becomes the integrative environment. Picture your students in your mind. With the opportunity to use a multimedia authoring environment, which of your students, that you've been trying so hard to reach, might suddenly become engaged in their own learning? What would it be like if the energy for learning came forth from them? What would the long-term implications be of a child who currently has no interest in school becoming involved and excited about their learning?

Extractions: We've all known for a long time about soap and shampoo bottles that can be put to use in the classroom holding glue, water, whatever . Having just started wearing contact lenses, we've discovered another: the cleaning solution bottle. Smaller in size than soap bottles, with a flip top cap that won't get lost, these are great for glue, but you may want to use a small drill bit or a red-hot nail to make the hole larger. Anyone who wears contact lenses goes through this solution regularly, so have them save the bottles for you. Popcorn Day Reward your students with popcorn when they finally make it through their multiplication tables, to illustrate how steam and pressure can have explosive results, as an incentive to go one day without getting in trouble in the lunchroom or simply because it's Friday. Popcorn is quick and easy to make, doesn't cost much money and, no, a microwave oven is

Extractions: We are fortunate in our district to have our computers linked to a TV which is mounted on a wall. It makes it easier to incorporate various software and the internet into daily lessons (I teach Reading/Language Arts). I also have two additional computers (one is a castoff from home) which the kids use in their free time as they finish their work. To enable some of my slower students to get some computer time, I occasionally use a roster with the kids' names to decide who will have computer time that day. Sometimes I'll start at the beginning, middle or end of the roster to allow everyone an equal chance of using the computer. Good luck! Using the computer effectively in the classroom can be a tricky business! Karen Idea #4

Extractions: updated 8/22/00 You can use almost any educational software or Internet sites from the front of the classroom to guide and direct student learning and to inspire discussion. It helps to create roles for the groups so each person has a perspective to help guide the discussion.

Extractions: 1. The Connection Cube (A Thinking through Transfer activity) Arguably, the most important job of education is to provide students with knowledge that they can transfer in meaningful ways to other aspects of their present or future lives. For example, we do not teach history simply so students can pass a quiz, but so that they can reason better about the world around them. Yet research has shown that the transfer of knowledge does not happen nearly as much as we would like. Too often, students do not make the connections they should between new knowledge and prior knowledge, between one school subject and another, between school learning and everyday life. Use the Connection Cube to help students connect learning to new contexts. 2. One-Minute Papers: An Instructional Resource for Student Self-Assessment 1-Minute Papers provide learners with an opportunity to step back and think about their thinking. Thinking about thinking often is a neglected, but vital part of the learning process. Reflection allows learners to pause and assess not only the product of one's thinking but also the quality of the thinking itself. When to use 1-Minute Papers as a thinking-centered activity to close a lesson after completing a project or unit during a lesson as an on-going assessment check during the introduction of a new or complex topic to as an on-going assessment check

Extractions: An Idea Page Students at all levels get excited about using the web and can benefit from using the web for up-to-date information. Recommended grade levels are shown, but you should tailor the project to your students. At the end, we even have a couple of web projects for K-4 As students become more advanced at web use, they can begin to create their own pages. Any of the following ideas can be developed for advanced students by having them work in teams to create a Web Virtual Collection or Exhibition on the topic to share with others. Reminder: One of the most important things you can do for your students is help them learn to evaluate information! Have them ask: Who provided this information? What are his or her qualifications? Is this information consistent with what experts say? Does this information reflect a particular viewpoint? What are the other viewpoints? What can I learn from this web page? Here are some sources of information on this: Evaluating World Wide Web Information Criteria for evaluation of Internet Information Resources For these exercises, the search tools of the Web will be very useful. Any of the following projects can be enhanced by finding more supporting information. The students can do most of this! A web site that links all of the major search sites is found at

Extractions: Classroom Lesson Plans Here are links to some lesson plans I've developed for use in my Creative Drama Classroom (and a few games and lessons from others as well). All of these lessons have been tested and proven successful in the classroom. Let me know if they work for you. Have a great lesson plan you'd like to share? Send it to me! I'll try it out and post it here. I'm hoping eventually to have a large library of proven lesson plans here. Email me! To help you find just what you need, I've sorted these lessons in a few different ways: By AGE LEVEL By LESSON TYPE By cross-curricular CONTENT Lesson Plans Sorted by Age Level Most of these lesson plans work with a large age range (with appropriate adjustments in level of sophistication), but I've listed them here in approximate order, from youngest to oldest. These lessons are presented with fairly specific instructions, for the most part, but should not be understood as carved-in-stone methods. Every teacher will have her or his individual slant on these activities.
