=Highlights for High Schools: How to Bring MIT Curriculum to Your Classroom=

by [|Sara Ring]
High school teachers looking to reinforce their curriculum and knowledge base can now tap into the course materials faculty use at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A new online program called [|Highlights for High School] -- part of the interdisciplinary [|OpenCourseWare] system MIT launched six years ago -- gives educators and students free Web access to the esteemed university's introductory courses and related tools, such as Advanced Placement test preparation, video demonstrations, and lab experiments. High school teachers at any level may use these resources to supplement their lesson plans, in-class activities, homework assignments, and reading lists.

Rebekka Stone, a tenth-grade biology teacher in Homestead, Florida, says she uses Highlights for High School to increase her students' science comprehension and to introduce them to the idea of higher learning. Less than half of Homestead's students graduate, and Stone thinks using the MIT materials will encourage more of them to continue their education. She says students who once assumed college isn't an option for them have gained confidence by doing college-level work. "At a school like ours, it's great that the kids can see, 'Oh, college isn't that scary.' It's definitely breaking down some of the barriers that the kids feel would prevent them from going to college," Stone says. Once they get a taste of MIT, she adds, they come to realize, "Maybe that's for me. I could do that!" Highlights for High School offers links to nearly seventy introductory courses, and new material is added twice a year. To help navigate the site, we've singled out some downloads teachers can easily incorporate into high school curriculum. (MIT asks teachers using any element of Highlights for High School to give credit to the university and to the faculty member who created the work.)

AP Test Prep
MIT originally created Highlights for High School with the goal of helping students prepare for AP exams in [|biology,] [|calculus,] and [|physics.] To supplement high school AP-prep classes, the Web site compiles material relevant to all three subjects, including video clips, exam questions, and practice problems. Rosemary Cenci, a teacher at Schuylerville Junior-Senior High School, in Schuylerville, New York, assigns her AP biology students practice problems from the MIT site to complete as homework. "The questions are so cute and novel compared with the textbook examples," she notes, citing a [|problem set] that explores heredity in a family in which some members carry that pesky gene for X-ray vision. Cenci says the site also helps her stay current with new developments in biology. When she attended college, "molecular biology was just an up-and-coming field," she explains. "In the last thirty to thirty-five years, it has gone leaps and bounds above what I learned in college. The lectures at MIT have been such a valuable resource in helping me fill in some of the gaps in knowledge that I have."

Video Demonstrations
MIT's [|video demonstrations] can engage students in science coursework by providing fun multimedia explanations of heady concepts. In [|//Weightlessness During Free-Fall//], for example, MIT physics professor Walter Lewin shows one principle of Newton's law of motion -- in real time and slow motion -- by leaping off his desk while holding a jug of water and by dropping a weight attached to a scale.

Experiment in Terror:
MIT physics professor Walter Lewin brings physics alive -- at his own peril.

In [|Collisions in Free-fall,] Lewin dons hiking shorts, a pith helmet, and sunglasses to conduct a projectile experiment by firing a ball at a monkey suspended from a pole. (No monkeys were harmed in the making of this video; the test subject is of the stuffed variety.) Teachers can browse the demonstrations by category -- from Atomic Physics and Quantum Effects to Work, Energy, and Power -- and then show the videos in class using the [|RealPlayer media player]. Stone says she uses the MIT videos in her classes to reinforce key concepts. The vivid lecture included in the video [|//Teratogens//], in which biology professor Hazel Sive explains the effects of alcohol on a developing fetus, had particular resonance, Stone says, because her high school struggles with teen pregnancy. "It was a take-home message of what you don't want to be doing," she recalls. "You don't want to get pregnant in high school, but if you are pregnant, you don't want to drink."

Lab Experiments
MIT is known worldwide for its contributions to science, and now high school students may duplicate the lab work of their collegiate counterparts. The [|chemistry and physics labs], grouped together on the site, are downloadable as PDF files and provide detailed instructions. The files may also include color images and graphs, follow-up questions, and Microsoft Excel charts to track students' results. One electricity and magnetism [|experiment] asks students to explore light diffraction by measuring the wavelength of a laser light, the spacing between tracks on a compact disc, and the thickness of a human hair (laser light, CD, and hair not included).

Practice Problems, Suggested Readings, and More
Teachers can find practice problems, suggested readings, and supplementary assignments for most courses offered by Highlights for High School. Michele Naber, who teaches regular and AP biology at Mission Viejo High School, in Mission Viejo, California, assigns MIT's practice problems to her students as in-class assignments and on tests. She appreciates how accessible the site is, despite its wealth of information. "It's easy to use," she notes. "I've been to some sites where they put everything on one big index page, and it takes you forever to read through it. The indexing they use on this site is very search friendly. It's easy to find a specific topic." The site includes exams with many of the courses, particularly those dealing with science and math. Some tests and assignments include answer sets for teachers. Others do not, so that MIT professors may reuse questions for future classes. Highlights for High School provides so much material, teachers can sometimes use it to teach an entire lesson. When Jeff Weitz, a high school physics teacher at Horace Mann School, in Riverdale, New York, had to miss class for a conference, he considered assigning his students a problem set to complete in his absence. Instead, he chose to have them watch a video lecture by the always dynamic Professor Lewin. "He's the best sub on the planet for AP physics," Weitz reports. "Lewin discussed exactly the topic I would have, so my class didn't miss a beat. The video was just a tad longer than our class period, and I know for a fact that nearly all the kids went home and watched the end. They can't give feedback any more positive than that."

5/2 Using Audio =[|Public (Domain) Library: Free Downloadable Audiobooks Online]=

By Chris O’Neal
1/29/08 I'd like to share a Web site called [|LibriVox], which provides free, downloadable audiobooks from the public domain: Users download the audiobooks in MP3 format and listen to them on their computer or copy them onto an MP3 player. According to the site, "LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain and release the audio files back onto the Internet. Our goal is to make all public domain books available as free audiobooks." Users can take advantage of the full catalog of audiobooks -- about a thousand at the time of this writing. Because the books are in the public domain, users may listen to them as many times as they want and share them with others. If your students have access to MP3 players, providing them with audiobooks is a great way to encourage their appreciation for some fantastic literature. In addition, you can sign up to be a volunteer reader: Find a book of your choosing in the public domain, and record yourself reading it. The site, started in 2005 for the sole purpose of sharing the love of reading, works on a volunteer basis. LibriVox is a teacher's dream -- a fun tool to encourage the reluctant reader or inspire your already-addicted ones to explore even more great literature. You'll find Aesop's Fables and the works of Shakespeare, James Joyce, and Rudyard Kipling -- the list goes on and on. How about some Edgar Allan Poe to listen to on the way home from school each evening? Go have a listen, and let us know what you think.


 * Podcasting can educate about copyright**

Copyright issues are far more complex than the Business Software Alliance’s “Play It CyberSafe” website ([|www.playitcybersafe.com]) and “Piracy Deepfreeze Game” might make them appear. As Lawrence Lessig memorably communicates in his web-archived presentation on “Free Culture” ([|http://lessig.org/freeculture/free.html)], the creative ideas of today are often the result of synthesized ideas expressed by others in the past. When we are able to “stand on the shoulders of giants” who have gone before us, only then are we often empowered to make even greater strides in a particular area. Downloading music to enjoy or reuse in a podcast is not an unconditionally illegal and punishable offense. A diverse array of copyright-friendly music files are available from sources like the Podsafe Music Network ([|http://music.podshow.com)] and FreePlayMusic ([|www.freeplaymusic.com]) which can be legally used in classroom podcasts. Producing a classroom podcast can provide contextual opportunities for teachers as well as students to learn about Creative Commons ([|http://creativecommons.org)] licensing of works including songs, which permit artists to authorize the use of their musical creations in “derivative works” like podcasts. Podcasters can also learn about exciting, legal developments in online music publication and sharing. For more on these issues, refer to Stanford Law professor Lawrence Lessig’s blog at [|www.lessig.org/blog].

4/25 In honor of Earth Day... =Taking It to the Class: Green Projects for the Classroom=

Credit: Bart Nagel
An annual celebration of Earth Day should not be the only time during the school year when you devote significant classroom time to exploring issues of environmental awareness and stewardship. Whether you teach biology, history, or language arts, the Web is a rich and ever-growing resource, with curriculum ideas for integrating environmental issues into lesson plans. But where to begin? That will be your decision, but we'll help you get started. We've compiled a cross section of lessons, with ideas for every grade level. Some can be completed within a single class period and others require more time, but all are sure to get your students -- and you -- thinking about what can be done to preserve our increasingly fragile planet.

The Life History of "Stuff"
By tracing the origins of everyday products -- the bikes they ride to school or their favorite sneakers -- students develop an understanding of the impact that the production, sale, and disposal of commonly used goods have on the environment. Though no single lesson is likely to change students' consumption patterns completely, this one is sure to get them thinking about alternatives, like wearing shoes until they're outgrown or worn out, or donating still-usable items so they don't end up in a landfill prematurely. //**Topics:** Consumption, Waste Production
 * Teaching Level:** Grades 2-3
 * Source:** [|Education for Sustainable Development]//



From Farm to Table
Students (and adults, too) know surprisingly little about the origin of the food they eat every day. In this lesson, students compile lists of frequently eaten foods and then take a trip to the local supermarket to research their origin by analyzing food displays or speaking with the grocer. What are the consequences of eating grapes from Chile or corn from Mexico? Are there economic or health advantages to eating locally grown fruits and vegetables? Should grocers provide origin information for the produce they sell? These are just a few of the issues students can explore in this lesson. There's also ample opportunity to extend the lesson through action, by visiting a local farmers' market and talking with growers or starting their own vegetable garden at school. //**Topic:** Food Sources
 * Teaching Level:** Grades 4-6
 * Source:** [|California School Garden Network]//



Go Fish
In this thirty-minute lesson for very young students, a simple bowl of goldfish crackers helps make concrete the concept of scarcity of resources. In the first part of the lesson, the bowl is passed around the room and students are allowed to take as many crackers as they'd like. In the second, each student receives an equal number of crackers. The two scenarios serve as an excellent entrée into a discussion of uneven distribution of resources, as students discuss how it felt to get more (or fewer) fish than their classmates. The next step is to expand the discussion to resources in students' homes or in their community that everyone must share. //**Topic:** Scarcity of Resources
 * Grade Level:** P-2
 * Source:** [|Population Connection]//

Trip Tally: Discovering Environmental Solutions
What impact does car transportation have on the local environment? That's the key question this lesson aims to ask and answer as students conduct a simple air pollution experiment and analyze the findings in the context of their own weekly trip tally, which documents their comings and goings about town by car, foot, bike, and public transportation. Students analyze their own travel data, as well as that of the whole class, and then explore strategies for reducing air pollution by choosing to ride their bike rather than drive, or by taking fewer trips. //**Topic:** Air Pollution
 * Teaching Level:** Grades 3-6
 * Source:** [|Northeast Sustainable Energy Association]//

Environmental Explorers
This lesson calls upon observation and analysis skills as students explore and then discuss the changes that have been made to the natural environment. Students observe and document natural and human features in their locale (during a walk around the neighborhood or a trip downtown, for example), and evaluate the impact of changes made by humans, such as the leveling of an area for a subdivision or the damming of a local stream or river. As a culminating activity, students discuss local environmental and planning issues and then write letters to the local newspapers expressing their views and encouraging specific action. //**Focus:** Environmental Awareness
 * Teaching Level:** Grades 3-8
 * Source:** [|National Geographic Society]//



The Trash We Pass
A day's worth of classroom garbage becomes the basis for this lesson, which explores the amount of waste students (and their schools, families, and community) produce each day, and the impact of all this trash on the environment. Faced with the dirty truth about how much trash they accumulate, students are asked to brainstorm how to reduce their waste production (by using less, recycling more, and so on) and then to put their newfound knowledge to further use by taking action in their community. The lesson includes ideas for extending their work beyond the classroom, pursuing activities such as researching local recycling options and advocating with city officials for improvements, or starting a compost pile at school or at home. //**Topics:** Consumption, Waste Production
 * Teaching Level:** Grades 4-7
 * Source:** [|Redefining Progress]//

We Are What We Drink
The writings of a Peace Corps volunteer from the Togolese Republic in Africa provide a developing-world context for the exploration of water consumption, water pollution, and the health of individuals and communities. Students explore their own water consumption (the amount of water used in everyday activities; the types of water -- filtered, bottled, and so on) they drink -- and compare this data with the experiences of residents in the Togolese Republic, where clean water is scarce and cholera is endemic.

Fishing for the Future
Through a simulation, students model several consecutive seasons of a fishery and explore how such variables as advances in technology, population growth, and attention to sustainable fishing practices impact fish catch and fisheries management. Over multiple "seasons," students confront the economic and environmental impact of overfishing. As the fish population is depleted in one area, for example, they must seek out sources elsewhere or explore more sustainable practices. This engaging lesson includes thought-provoking writing and discussion prompts, and opportunities for students to extend what they've learned to their own community by exploring the status of commonly owned resources in their town or state. //**Topic:** Sustainability
 * Teaching Level:** Grades 6-12

How Big Is Your Footprint?
Using Web tools, students calculate their ecological footprints (the amount of natural resources they consume in a given year) and then, as a group, determine the footprint of the entire class. After creating graphs and finding the mean, the median, the mode, and the standard deviation for the class, students explore a range of discussion questions about reducing their footprint, their responsibility to subsequent generations, the impact of their consumption, and more. Armed with this new knowledge and awareness, students are prompted to consider the size of their family's footprint, or that of the entire school. What steps might they each take to decrease their footprint? By taking the test again six months later, students will be able to assess the impact of their choices. //**Topic:** Consumption, Pollution
 * Teaching Level:** Grades 8-12
 * Source:** [|Alliance to Save Energy]//

Water Walk
Building on the concept of a watershed, students use a field trip to a local body of water (a stream at a local park, for example) to conduct a detailed assessment of the water and surrounding land and then document their findings by mapping and profiling the water and the neighboring area. This hands-on science lesson teaches students how to take standardized measurements of water characteristics, integrates writing activities as students describe the characteristics of the local watershed, and provides an excellent introduction to issues of water quality. There's also information about using data from, and sharing data with, the worldwide science and education program [|Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment] (GLOBE). //**Topic:** Water Quality
 * Teaching Level:** Grades 9-12
 * Source:** [|Center for Environmental Education Online]//

Whose Resource Is It?
Environmental justice is the focus of this lesson, which integrates world history, geography, and government topics into a case study and a role-playing exercise. Students explore the impact of a plan to locate a new industry in a low-income neighborhood, then take on the roles of community members, business executives, and city officials as they advocate for and against building a power plant in a low-income minority neighborhood. Together, they assess the economic, environmental, and social consequences of their decisions. Through these activities and supplemental readings, students gain a deeper understanding of the ways socioeconomic status impacts the number and types of businesses in a neighborhood -- and the impact these businesses have on residents' health and well-being. //**Focus:** Environmental Justice

This article was also published in [|Edutopia Magazine, October 2007]
I came across this while looking for ways to display student work online. I just wanted to see what other schools are doing. Many teachers put up exhibits to reinforce everything from the big ideas of a discipline to classroom-management strategies. But how often do you step back and take a thoughtful look at what's on display? Linda Hartley is an educator from the United Kingdom (a native of Scotland now living in London) who used that question as the starting point for an action research project. A former teaching assistant, she began conducting research as part of her studies at the United Kingdom's virtual-learning [|Ultraversity]. By bringing Web 2.0 tools into project design, she has set off a global conversation. This work is manifested on her site, [|Classroom Displays], which is both a Flickr group for photo sharing and a [|blog] for reflection. (The Classroom Displays blog was nominated for an [|Edublogs] Award in 2006.) The result is what Hartley calls "a visual conversation" about those ephemeral displays that come and go from classroom walls and school hallways. Some 270 educators from around the world have joined the Classroom Displays community, and many more regularly stop in for a look. If you want to find an example close to home, you can click on the Flickr map. From Hannibal, Missouri, for example, Terry Smith's photos reveal a classroom where students regularly take on global projects with learning partners from around the world. (To learn more about Smith's project-based class, visit his [|Web site].) A teacher from the Bronx shares a picture showing what looks like an army of cockroaches; the caption reveals that the bugs are plastic. (Whew!) Students lined them up as math manipulatives to show their understanding of arrays. Click on Kuwait, and you get a glimpse inside an international school where a husband-and-wife team from the United Kingdom are teaching. Photos typically include a link to the educator's profile on Flickr, which you can follow to learn more or make connections.

The Ministry of Education Online Galler is the most recent. It was initiated by Secondary School Arts Coordination Senior Project Officer Judy Matthew. She has been displaying student artworks in the head office buildings in Wellington. Ministry staff had been enjoying them and so Judy decided to find a way to share them with a greater number of people. This digital collection puts student art online, and gives more schools an opportunity to exhibit their talents and celebrate high quality artistic achievement.

Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally
By Andrew Churches April 1, 2008 URL: [| http://www.techlearning.com/showArticle.php?articleID=196605124]

//from Educators' eZine// Introduction and Background: In the 1950's Benjamin Bloom developed his taxonomy of cognitive objectives, [|Bloom's Taxonomy]. This categorized and ordered thinking skills and objectives. His taxonomy follows the thinking process. You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them. It is a continuum from Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Bloom labels each category with a gerund. In the 1990's, a former student of Bloom, Lorin Anderson, revised Bloom's Taxonomy and published this- Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in 2001.Key to this is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the categories and a rearrangement of the sequence within the taxonomy. They are arranged below in increasing order, from low to high. Each of the categories or taxonomic elements has a number of key verbs associated with it The elements cover many of the activities and objectives but they do not address the new objectives presented by the emergence and integration of Information and Communication Technologies into the classroom and the lives of our students. Elements coloured in black are recognised and existing verbs, Elements coloured in blue are new digital verbs. This element of the taxonomy does infer the retrieval of material. This is a key element given the growth in knowledge and information. The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: Recognizing, listing, describing, identifying, retrieving, naming, locating, finding, Bullet pointing, highlighting, bookmarking, social networking, Social bookmarking, favorite-ing/local bookmarking, Searching, Googling. || The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: Interpreting, Summarizing, inferring, paraphrasing, classifying, comparing, explaining, exemplifying, Advanced searching, Boolean searching, blog journaling, twittering, categorising and tagging, commenting, annotating, subscribing. || The digital additions and their justifications are as follows: Implementing, carrying out, using, executing, running, loading, playing, operating, hacking, uploading, sharing, editing. || The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: Comparing, organising, deconstructing, Attributing, outlining, finding, structuring, integrating, Mashing, linking, reverse-engineering, cracking, mind-mapping, validating, tagging. || The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: Checking, hypothesising, critiquing, experimenting, judging, testing, detecting, monitoring, (Blog/vlog) commenting, reviewing, posting, moderating, collaborating, networking, reflecting, (Alpha & beta) testing. || The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing, devising, making, programming, filming, animating, Blogging, Video blogging, mixing, remixing, wiki-ing, publishing, videocasting, podcasting, directing/producing, creating or building mash ups. || Churches, A. 2007, Educational Origami, Bloom's and ICT Tools Anderson, L.W., and D.

 * Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)**
 * Bloom's digital taxonomy map**
 * Key:**
 * Remembering**
 * **Bullet pointing** – This is analogous to listing but in a digital format.
 * **Highlighting** – This is a key element of most productivity suites; encouraging students to pick out and highlight key words and phrases is a technique for recall.
 * **Bookmarking or favorite-ing** – this is where the students mark for later use web sites, resources and files. Students can then organise these.
 * **Social networking** – this is where people develop networks of friends and associates. It forges and creates links between different people. Like social bookmarks (see below) a social network can form a key element of collaborating and networking.
 * **Social bookmarking** – this is an online version of local bookmarking or favorites, It is more advanced because you can draw on others' bookmarks and tags. While higher order thinking skills like collaborating and sharing, can and do make use of these skills, this is its simplest form - a simple list of sites saved to an online format rather than locally to the machine.
 * **Searching or "Googling"** - Search engines are now key elements of students' research. At its simplest the student is just entering a key word or phrase into the basic entry pane of the search engine. This skill does not refine the search beyond the key word or term.
 * **Key Terms - Remembering:**
 * Understanding**
 * **Advanced and Boolean Searching** – This is a progression from the previous category. Students require a greater depth of understanding to be able to create, modify and refine searches to suit their search needs.
 * **Blog Journaling** – This is the simplest of the uses for a blog, where a student simply "talks" "writes" or "types" a daily- or task-specific journal. This shows a basic understanding of the activity reported upon. The blog can be used to develop higher level thinking when used for discussion and collaboration.
 * **Twittering** – The Twitter site's fundamental question is "what are you doing?" This can be, in its most simplistic form, a one or two word answer, but when developed this is a tool that lends itself to developing understanding and potentially starting collaboration.
 * **Categorizing** – digital classification - organizing and classifying files, web sites and materials using folders etc.
 * **Commenting and annotating** – a variety of tools exist that allow the user to comment and annotate on web pages, .pdf files and other documents. The user is developing understanding by simply commenting on the pages. This is analogous with writing notes on hand outs, but is potentially more powerful as you can link and index these.
 * **Subscribing** – Subscription takes bookmarking in its various forms and simplistic reading one level further. The act of subscription by itself does not show or develop understanding but often the process of reading and revisiting the subscribed-to feeds leads to greater understanding.
 * **Key Terms - Understanding:**
 * Applying**
 * **Running and operating** – This is the action of initiating a program or operating and manipulating hardware and applications to obtain a basic goal or objective.
 * **Playing** – The increasing emergence of games as a mode of education leads to the inclusion of this term in the list. Students who successfully play or operate a game are showing understanding of process and task and application of skills.
 * **Uploading and Sharing** - uploading materials to websites and the sharing of materials via sites like flickr etc. This is a simple form of collaboration, a higher order thinking skill.
 * **Hacking** – hacking in its simpler forms is applying a simple set of rules to achieve a goal or objective.
 * **Editing** – With most media, editing is a process or a procedure that the editor employs.
 * **Key Terms - Applying:**
 * Analysing**
 * **Mashing** – mash ups are the integration of several data sources into a single resource. Mashing data currently is a complex process but as more options and sites evolve this will become an increasingly easy and accessible means of analysis.
 * **Linking** – this is establishing and building links within and outside of documents and web pages.
 * **Reverse-engineering** – this is analogous with deconstruction. It is also related to cracking often with out the negative implications associated with this.
 * **Cracking** – cracking requires the cracker to understand and operate the application or system being cracked, analyse its strengths and weaknesses and then exploit these.
 * **Validating** – With the wealth of information available to students combined with the lack of authentication of data, students of today and tomorrow must be able to validate the veracity of their information sources. To do this they must be able to analyse the data sources and make judgements based on these.
 * **Tagging** – This is organising, structuring and attributing online data, meta-tagging web pages etc. Students need to be able understand and analyse the content of the pages to be able to tag it.
 * **Key Terms - Analysing:**
 * Evaluating**
 * **Blog/vlog commenting and reflecting** – Constructive criticism and reflective practice are often facilitated by the use of blogs and video blogs. Students commenting and replying to postings have to evaluate the material in context and reply.
 * **Posting** – posting comments to blogs, discussion boards, threaded discussions. These are increasingly common elements of students' daily practice. Good postings like good comments, are not simple one-line answers but rather are structured and constructed to evaluate the topic or concept.
 * **Moderating** – This is high level evaluation; the moderator must be able to evaluate a posting or comment from a variety of perspectives, assessing its worth, value and appropriateness.
 * **Collaborating and networking** – Collaboration is an increasing feature of education. In a world increasingly focused on communication, collaboration leading to collective intelligence is a key aspect. Effective collaboration involves evaluating the strengths and abilities of the participants and evaluating the contribution they make. Networking is a feature of collaboration, contacting and communicating with relevant person via a network of associates.
 * **Testing** (Alpha and Beta) – Testing of applications, processes and procedures is a key element in the development of any tool. To be an effective tester you must have the ability to analyze the purpose of the tool or process, what its correct function should be and what its current function is.
 * **Key Terms – Evaluating:**
 * Creating**
 * **Programming** – Whether it is creating their own applications, programming macros or developing games or multimedia applications within structured environments, students are routinely creating their own programs to suit their needs and goals.
 * **Filming, animating, videocasting, podcasting, mixing and remixing** – these relate to the increasing availability of multimedia and multimedia editing tools. Students frequently capture, create, mix and remix content to produce unique products.
 * **Directing and producing** – to directing or producing a product, performance or production is a highly creative process. It requires the student to have vision, understand the components and meld these into a coherent product.
 * **Publishing** – whether via the web or from home computers, publishing in text, media or digital formats is increasing. Again this requires a huge overview of not only the content being published, but the process and product. Related to this concept are also **Video blogging** – the production of video blogs, **blogging** and also **wiki-ing** - creating, adding to and modify content in wikis. Creating or **building Mash ups** would also fit here.
 * **Key Terms – Creating:**
 * Bibliography**

3/21 **Women's History Month** From ABC CLIO- available at high schools only As recently as the 1970s, women’s history was virtually unexplored in the classroom. But with the remarkable growth of the Women’s Movement of the 60s and 70s, which reminded everyone of the long struggle of women for equality in the U.S., that was about to change. In 1978, an education task force in Sonoma County, California, established "Women’s History Week." Within a few years, the week was being celebrated nationwide and in 1987, Congress expanded it by designating March "National Women’s History Month." Students and library patrons looking to explore the scope and impact of the Women’s Movement in the U.S. will find a wealth of resources in ABC–CLIO’s //American History// database. The database spans the breadth of the struggle for equality for women from the [|1848 Seneca Falls Conference] and the [|Women’s Suffrage Movement] to the beginnings of [|Feminist Movement] in the 1960s and the first [|National Women’s Conference] (1978), to the present. From these features, readers can link to a range of resources, including [|speeches], [|statistical data] and biographies of leading figures in the Women’s Movement, from [|Elizabeth Cady Stanton] and [|Susan B. Anthony], to [|Gloria Steinem] and [|Betty Friedan]

3/7 The popular //NoveList// and //NoveList K-8// user interfaces will receive new looks this spring. In conjunction with the redesigns, many new features will be added to these trusted readers’ advisory resources. **//NoveList://** The new //NoveList// home page will facilitate searches for new titles, and will provide instant access to all of //NoveList's// content rich features. Here is an example of the new home page design for //NoveList//:* A new, single **Find** field will let users simultaneously search by author, title, subject, and/or series, for example. Note the removal of the tabs, which means that all of the content will be accessible directly from the new home page. Users will be able to browse Author Read-alikes, Book Discussion Guides, BookTalks and awards lists, etc. without searching under tabs first. Access to hundreds of book lists will be available through the //Recommended Reads// link. On the right side of the new home page, there will be an expanded, completely revamped Readers' Advisory section. The Result List will be enhanced to include appropriate books and customized content, sorted by tabs for ease of retrieval. Note that in the example shown here, the Result List from a search for **legal thrillers** yielded a combined total of 525 book titles, Author Read-alikes, Recommended Reads and Series. Library administrators can include a link to their online library catalog in expanded Result List records: //NoveList K-8:// The new look for //NoveList K-8// is even more intuitive, and includes all of the great new features in //NoveList's// new design. The Working with Kids section from the Browse panel enables teachers, media specialists, childrens' librarians and parents to find quality content linked to curricular topics, organized by grade levels and filled with great ideas for young readers to explore.

2/29 At [|www.FreeReading.net], educators everywhere can access a free, sequential, research-based reading intervention program for grades K-1. Open source and Web 2.0 technology enables educators to adapt FreeReading.net content to their needs, contribute their own lessons as supplements to the research-based 40-week scope and sequence, and participate in discussions about early literacy. A FreeReading Advisory Board of leading reading researchers has reviewed. The FreeReading program and is guiding the expansion of the content, as well as the creation of a strict quality review process for contributions. Because FreeReading.net is already available and doesn't require that textbooks be printed, some Florida schools are considering the program for use this spring. Free reading activities for grades k-1 http://www.freereading.net/index.php?title=Main_Page In case you have not heard of this site.....This is a great project to celebrate Math Day on March 5th __ [|http://www.worldmathsday.com] __ Their goal is to have over 50 million math questions answered correctly on math day. Students log in and play against other students of the same age from around the world. Up to the actual day the students can practice against others. It has promoted great interest at our school! We have also turned it into geography lesson using google earth. We are trying to play against as many countries as possible. Check it out! Great fun! World Math Day is now only 7 days away. Some figures:
 * 1 million students
 * Over 15,000 schools
 * 152 countries
 * 84,270,982 million practice questions already answered!!

From Kevin Smith: AT&T has an interesting educational site called “Filimentality”. It’s on online Web activity creator/sharing site for educators. The nice thing (in my opinion) is that teachers can share fact-finding projects (Hot lists and Scrapbooks) as well as higher-order thinking projects (WebQuests and Treasure Hunts).

[|An explanation of what **seasons** are, and why they occur. With animations and images. with observatory shots. http://www.scienceu.com/observatory/articles/seasons/seasons.html]

Have you ever wondered why the earth experiences Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer? Great site from NOAA. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/educate/seasons.shtml

The seasons are a powerful force in our lives. They affect the activities we do, the foods we crave, the clothes we wear — and quite often, the moods we are in. Early Saturday, winter officially starts in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing the longest night of the year. Meanwhile, summer begins in the Southern Hemisphere with the shortest night. What is it that causes the change in seasons? And if you've never hit the MSNCB educational site, I think you'll be surprised. The seasons are a powerful force in our lives.

2/8 It's International Polar Year! Teachers' Domain is pleased to announce our new [|Polar Sciences Special Collection], which is funded by the National Science Foundation, and offers 20 new resources about the Arctic and the Antarctic, plus resources from our existing collections, a lesson plan, and our newest feature, a student activity.

The Earth's polar regions may seem remote, but they are an integral part of the entire Earth system. Pollution from other areas affects Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems, and changes in the icy landscapes of the polar regions may influence global ocean circulation patterns and accelerate climate change.

The fourth International Polar Year (IPY) is a 2007-2008 international campaign to advance polar science and better understand global climate change through an interdisciplinary approach. Learn about the importance of studying the poles through these media resources. Explore the polar regions, the changes they are experiencing, and their connections to the rest of the world. Engage with the quantitative and qualitative data in the new student activity feature, "[|Observations of Climate Change]".

I've written about curriki before and if you haven't check it out..you need to. Curriki kicked the year off by launching one new tool set to help educators work collaboratively, and another to evaluate materials posted on Curriki. We’re also looking for units or courses for middle and high school, with this month’s focus on Chemistry. Read on. . . NEW CURRIKI “GROUPS” TOOL MAKES SOCIAL NETWORKING AND COLLABORATION EASY Whether you’d like to form a community of interest or a community of practice, you can now join a group or use Curriki tools to create one of your own! See the groups that some of our members have already started around adolescent literacy and middle-school science. http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Groups/Browse?subject=all CURRIKI REVIEW SYSTEM Subject-area experts have begun to review and make constructive comments on Curriki lessons, units, and courses. Nominate resources to be reviewed by the Curriki Review Team, or add your own comments using the "comments tab.” Here's an example of a resource that the review team rated “exemplary” for content accuracy, pedagogy, and technical completeness. http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/xwiki/view/Coll_Jander/CatcherintheRyeUnitPlan

CURRIKI SEEKS CHEMISTRY TEACHERS FOR A FUNDED PROJECT We are currently seeking content for middle school and high school Science and Math. This month, we focus on Chemistry! To see whether you could get your project funded by Curriki, look into our Curriki Master Units Grants program. Chemistry deadline February 15th. To learn more and for application guidelines, visit: http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ and more video to add to last week's comments.... [|Next Vista for Learning is an educational nonprofit (U.S. 501(c)3) dedicated to building a free, online library of videos by and for teachers and students everywhere.] The library contains three collections: Light Bulbs (help with academic topics), Global Views (introductions of communities to help people learn about other parts of the world), and Seeing Service (profiles of those who in a big or small way make life better for others). There is no cost to use or submit to the site; the idea is to get good insights to people wherever good resources are in short supply. More information about the work of Next Vista for Learning is available at [|www.nextvista.org]

Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally
By Andrew Churches April 1, 2008 URL: [| http://www.techlearning.com/showArticle.php?articleID=196605124]

//from Educators' eZine// Introduction and Background: In the 1950's Benjamin Bloom developed his taxonomy of cognitive objectives, [|Bloom's Taxonomy]. This categorized and ordered thinking skills and objectives. His taxonomy follows the thinking process. You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them. It is a continuum from Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Bloom labels each category with a gerund. In the 1990's, a former student of Bloom, Lorin Anderson, revised Bloom's Taxonomy and published this- Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in 2001.Key to this is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the categories and a rearrangement of the sequence within the taxonomy. They are arranged below in increasing order, from low to high. Each of the categories or taxonomic elements has a number of key verbs associated with it The elements cover many of the activities and objectives but they do not address the new objectives presented by the emergence and integration of Information and Communication Technologies into the classroom and the lives of our students. Elements coloured in black are recognised and existing verbs, Elements coloured in blue are new digital verbs. This element of the taxonomy does infer the retrieval of material. This is a key element given the growth in knowledge and information. The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: Recognizing, listing, describing, identifying, retrieving, naming, locating, finding, Bullet pointing, highlighting, bookmarking, social networking, Social bookmarking, favorite-ing/local bookmarking, Searching, Googling. || The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: Interpreting, Summarizing, inferring, paraphrasing, classifying, comparing, explaining, exemplifying, Advanced searching, Boolean searching, blog journaling, twittering, categorising and tagging, commenting, annotating, subscribing. || The digital additions and their justifications are as follows: Implementing, carrying out, using, executing, running, loading, playing, operating, hacking, uploading, sharing, editing. || The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: Comparing, organising, deconstructing, Attributing, outlining, finding, structuring, integrating, Mashing, linking, reverse-engineering, cracking, mind-mapping, validating, tagging. || The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: Checking, hypothesising, critiquing, experimenting, judging, testing, detecting, monitoring, (Blog/vlog) commenting, reviewing, posting, moderating, collaborating, networking, reflecting, (Alpha & beta) testing. || The digital additions and their explanations are as follows: designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing, devising, making, programming, filming, animating, Blogging, Video blogging, mixing, remixing, wiki-ing, publishing, videocasting, podcasting, directing/producing, creating or building mash ups. || Churches, A. 2007, Educational Origami, Bloom's and ICT Tools Anderson, L.W., and D.

 * Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)**
 * Bloom's digital taxonomy map**
 * Key:**
 * Remembering**
 * **Bullet pointing** – This is analogous to listing but in a digital format.
 * **Highlighting** – This is a key element of most productivity suites; encouraging students to pick out and highlight key words and phrases is a technique for recall.
 * **Bookmarking or favorite-ing** – this is where the students mark for later use web sites, resources and files. Students can then organise these.
 * **Social networking** – this is where people develop networks of friends and associates. It forges and creates links between different people. Like social bookmarks (see below) a social network can form a key element of collaborating and networking.
 * **Social bookmarking** – this is an online version of local bookmarking or favorites, It is more advanced because you can draw on others' bookmarks and tags. While higher order thinking skills like collaborating and sharing, can and do make use of these skills, this is its simplest form - a simple list of sites saved to an online format rather than locally to the machine.
 * **Searching or "Googling"** - Search engines are now key elements of students' research. At its simplest the student is just entering a key word or phrase into the basic entry pane of the search engine. This skill does not refine the search beyond the key word or term.
 * **Key Terms - Remembering:**
 * Understanding**
 * **Advanced and Boolean Searching** – This is a progression from the previous category. Students require a greater depth of understanding to be able to create, modify and refine searches to suit their search needs.
 * **Blog Journaling** – This is the simplest of the uses for a blog, where a student simply "talks" "writes" or "types" a daily- or task-specific journal. This shows a basic understanding of the activity reported upon. The blog can be used to develop higher level thinking when used for discussion and collaboration.
 * **Twittering** – The Twitter site's fundamental question is "what are you doing?" This can be, in its most simplistic form, a one or two word answer, but when developed this is a tool that lends itself to developing understanding and potentially starting collaboration.
 * **Categorizing** – digital classification - organizing and classifying files, web sites and materials using folders etc.
 * **Commenting and annotating** – a variety of tools exist that allow the user to comment and annotate on web pages, .pdf files and other documents. The user is developing understanding by simply commenting on the pages. This is analogous with writing notes on hand outs, but is potentially more powerful as you can link and index these.
 * **Subscribing** – Subscription takes bookmarking in its various forms and simplistic reading one level further. The act of subscription by itself does not show or develop understanding but often the process of reading and revisiting the subscribed-to feeds leads to greater understanding.
 * **Key Terms - Understanding:**
 * Applying**
 * **Running and operating** – This is the action of initiating a program or operating and manipulating hardware and applications to obtain a basic goal or objective.
 * **Playing** – The increasing emergence of games as a mode of education leads to the inclusion of this term in the list. Students who successfully play or operate a game are showing understanding of process and task and application of skills.
 * **Uploading and Sharing** - uploading materials to websites and the sharing of materials via sites like flickr etc. This is a simple form of collaboration, a higher order thinking skill.
 * **Hacking** – hacking in its simpler forms is applying a simple set of rules to achieve a goal or objective.
 * **Editing** – With most media, editing is a process or a procedure that the editor employs.
 * **Key Terms - Applying:**
 * Analysing**
 * **Mashing** – mash ups are the integration of several data sources into a single resource. Mashing data currently is a complex process but as more options and sites evolve this will become an increasingly easy and accessible means of analysis.
 * **Linking** – this is establishing and building links within and outside of documents and web pages.
 * **Reverse-engineering** – this is analogous with deconstruction. It is also related to cracking often with out the negative implications associated with this.
 * **Cracking** – cracking requires the cracker to understand and operate the application or system being cracked, analyse its strengths and weaknesses and then exploit these.
 * **Validating** – With the wealth of information available to students combined with the lack of authentication of data, students of today and tomorrow must be able to validate the veracity of their information sources. To do this they must be able to analyse the data sources and make judgements based on these.
 * **Tagging** – This is organising, structuring and attributing online data, meta-tagging web pages etc. Students need to be able understand and analyse the content of the pages to be able to tag it.
 * **Key Terms - Analysing:**
 * Evaluating**
 * **Blog/vlog commenting and reflecting** – Constructive criticism and reflective practice are often facilitated by the use of blogs and video blogs. Students commenting and replying to postings have to evaluate the material in context and reply.
 * **Posting** – posting comments to blogs, discussion boards, threaded discussions. These are increasingly common elements of students' daily practice. Good postings like good comments, are not simple one-line answers but rather are structured and constructed to evaluate the topic or concept.
 * **Moderating** – This is high level evaluation; the moderator must be able to evaluate a posting or comment from a variety of perspectives, assessing its worth, value and appropriateness.
 * **Collaborating and networking** – Collaboration is an increasing feature of education. In a world increasingly focused on communication, collaboration leading to collective intelligence is a key aspect. Effective collaboration involves evaluating the strengths and abilities of the participants and evaluating the contribution they make. Networking is a feature of collaboration, contacting and communicating with relevant person via a network of associates.
 * **Testing** (Alpha and Beta) – Testing of applications, processes and procedures is a key element in the development of any tool. To be an effective tester you must have the ability to analyze the purpose of the tool or process, what its correct function should be and what its current function is.
 * **Key Terms – Evaluating:**
 * Creating**
 * **Programming** – Whether it is creating their own applications, programming macros or developing games or multimedia applications within structured environments, students are routinely creating their own programs to suit their needs and goals.
 * **Filming, animating, videocasting, podcasting, mixing and remixing** – these relate to the increasing availability of multimedia and multimedia editing tools. Students frequently capture, create, mix and remix content to produce unique products.
 * **Directing and producing** – to directing or producing a product, performance or production is a highly creative process. It requires the student to have vision, understand the components and meld these into a coherent product.
 * **Publishing** – whether via the web or from home computers, publishing in text, media or digital formats is increasing. Again this requires a huge overview of not only the content being published, but the process and product. Related to this concept are also **Video blogging** – the production of video blogs, **blogging** and also **wiki-ing** - creating, adding to and modify content in wikis. Creating or **building Mash ups** would also fit here.
 * **Key Terms – Creating:**
 * Bibliography**

3/21 **Women's History Month** From ABC CLIO- available at high schools only As recently as the 1970s, women’s history was virtually unexplored in the classroom. But with the remarkable growth of the Women’s Movement of the 60s and 70s, which reminded everyone of the long struggle of women for equality in the U.S., that was about to change. In 1978, an education task force in Sonoma County, California, established "Women’s History Week." Within a few years, the week was being celebrated nationwide and in 1987, Congress expanded it by designating March "National Women’s History Month." Students and library patrons looking to explore the scope and impact of the Women’s Movement in the U.S. will find a wealth of resources in ABC–CLIO’s //American History// database. The database spans the breadth of the struggle for equality for women from the [|1848 Seneca Falls Conference] and the [|Women’s Suffrage Movement] to the beginnings of [|Feminist Movement] in the 1960s and the first [|National Women’s Conference] (1978), to the present. From these features, readers can link to a range of resources, including [|speeches], [|statistical data] and biographies of leading figures in the Women’s Movement, from [|Elizabeth Cady Stanton] and [|Susan B. Anthony], to [|Gloria Steinem] and [|Betty Friedan]

3/7 The popular //NoveList// and //NoveList K-8// user interfaces will receive new looks this spring. In conjunction with the redesigns, many new features will be added to these trusted readers’ advisory resources. **//NoveList://** The new //NoveList// home page will facilitate searches for new titles, and will provide instant access to all of //NoveList's// content rich features. Here is an example of the new home page design for //NoveList//:* A new, single **Find** field will let users simultaneously search by author, title, subject, and/or series, for example. Note the removal of the tabs, which means that all of the content will be accessible directly from the new home page. Users will be able to browse Author Read-alikes, Book Discussion Guides, BookTalks and awards lists, etc. without searching under tabs first. Access to hundreds of book lists will be available through the //Recommended Reads// link. On the right side of the new home page, there will be an expanded, completely revamped Readers' Advisory section. The Result List will be enhanced to include appropriate books and customized content, sorted by tabs for ease of retrieval. Note that in the example shown here, the Result List from a search for **legal thrillers** yielded a combined total of 525 book titles, Author Read-alikes, Recommended Reads and Series. Library administrators can include a link to their online library catalog in expanded Result List records: //NoveList K-8:// The new look for //NoveList K-8// is even more intuitive, and includes all of the great new features in //NoveList's// new design. The Working with Kids section from the Browse panel enables teachers, media specialists, childrens' librarians and parents to find quality content linked to curricular topics, organized by grade levels and filled with great ideas for young readers to explore.

2/29 At [|www.FreeReading.net], educators everywhere can access a free, sequential, research-based reading intervention program for grades K-1. Open source and Web 2.0 technology enables educators to adapt FreeReading.net content to their needs, contribute their own lessons as supplements to the research-based 40-week scope and sequence, and participate in discussions about early literacy. A FreeReading Advisory Board of leading reading researchers has reviewed. The FreeReading program and is guiding the expansion of the content, as well as the creation of a strict quality review process for contributions. Because FreeReading.net is already available and doesn't require that textbooks be printed, some Florida schools are considering the program for use this spring. Free reading activities for grades k-1 http://www.freereading.net/index.php?title=Main_Page In case you have not heard of this site.....This is a great project to celebrate Math Day on March 5th __ [|http://www.worldmathsday.com] __ Their goal is to have over 50 million math questions answered correctly on math day. Students log in and play against other students of the same age from around the world. Up to the actual day the students can practice against others. It has promoted great interest at our school! We have also turned it into geography lesson using google earth. We are trying to play against as many countries as possible. Check it out! Great fun! World Math Day is now only 7 days away. Some figures:
 * 1 million students
 * Over 15,000 schools
 * 152 countries
 * 84,270,982 million practice questions already answered!!

From Kevin Smith: AT&T has an interesting educational site called “Filimentality”. It’s on online Web activity creator/sharing site for educators. The nice thing (in my opinion) is that teachers can share fact-finding projects (Hot lists and Scrapbooks) as well as higher-order thinking projects (WebQuests and Treasure Hunts).

[|An explanation of what **seasons** are, and why they occur. With animations and images. with observatory shots. http://www.scienceu.com/observatory/articles/seasons/seasons.html]

Have you ever wondered why the earth experiences Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer? Great site from NOAA. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/educate/seasons.shtml

The seasons are a powerful force in our lives. They affect the activities we do, the foods we crave, the clothes we wear — and quite often, the moods we are in. Early Saturday, winter officially starts in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing the longest night of the year. Meanwhile, summer begins in the Southern Hemisphere with the shortest night. What is it that causes the change in seasons? And if you've never hit the MSNCB educational site, I think you'll be surprised. The seasons are a powerful force in our lives.

2/8 It's International Polar Year! Teachers' Domain is pleased to announce our new [|Polar Sciences Special Collection], which is funded by the National Science Foundation, and offers 20 new resources about the Arctic and the Antarctic, plus resources from our existing collections, a lesson plan, and our newest feature, a student activity.

The Earth's polar regions may seem remote, but they are an integral part of the entire Earth system. Pollution from other areas affects Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems, and changes in the icy landscapes of the polar regions may influence global ocean circulation patterns and accelerate climate change.

 * //First of all, most have a free basic account.//
 * //Secondly, most are easier to use than their installable program counterpart.//
 * //Third, being web based, most have been platform independent.//
 * //Finally, did I say they are easy to use?//
 * //Picnik - can be used to edit Flickr, Picasa and Facebook images. Imports them right in from across the web. You don't have to do any extra uploads. Think of it as a very basic web version of Photoshop. You can crop, adjust colors, rotate, adjust exposure, remove red eye, etc. Any changes you make are automatically saved into your Flickr, Picasa or Facebook accounts.//
 * //podOmatic - This service let's your record and save your podcasts all through a web based tool. You can also share your podcasts with users all over through your own podcast portal.//
 * //MediaMax - With all of the content you are creating, you might need somewhere to put it. MediaMax (formerly Streamload) could be that place. I tried it out about a year ago and didn't like it, but the interface has gotten a lot easier to use. MediaMax provides users with 25GB of free web storage space. That's a lot of space. So, you can store all of your creations here and link to them with the provided links to your blog.//
