I started last fall using video podcasts to help my students with topics that they found difficult. And I have wanted to figure out how to use wikis effectively so that maybe one day I could use one in my classroom. You can check out my podcasts at: http://mrscresse.com/podcast/Mrs._Cresses_Chemistry/Podcast/Podcast.html Or you can go to Itunes and search for me (Jen Cresse) There are only a few so far, I started at the end of april. If anyone is interested in learning how to do this, I totally would love to share. It takes some time, but the kids really like it. I had trouble finding resources to help me set it up on the web. Thanks for setting this up! Do you find this valuable? |

Web-sites: everyday I check out seedmagazine.com as they post what they call the "Daily Zeitgeist" which consists of 5 cool science-related topics from the internet. Could be a you-tube video, a link to a blog, ...etc. Sometimes the topics they post are too biology-related, but I have found lots of neat physics and chem stuff too. Plus it is just way for me to efficiently keep up to date with current science news.

I've recently started podcasting as well. I've piggy-backed on what Jonathan Bergmann in Colorado is doing. My homework is watching podcasts and in class the students do worksheets with an "expert" in the room to help them if they get stuck. Kids like it. I've used Bergmann's podcasts for a summer school class with great success. We had podcast quizzes and I get to answer questions about nuances rather than do basics. I use a tablet computer and snapkast programs. I'm in the process of posting my stuff on googlevideo now. It was interesting to talk about another teacher's lecture and his Colorado mountain viewpoint was an interesting contrast to our midwestern great lakes references.

I have a wealth of web-sites that I still have not searched through. These are ones that I regularly use and search through.http://funbasedlearning.com/ - chem balancer, the best way to teach balancing equations, to introduct the topic I bring them to a computer lab and through this web-site they can learn how to balance on their own. http://www.unit5.org/chemistry/ - amazing powerpoints, activites, worksheets…..ect. http://www.nclark.net/Chemistry#General – tons of labs, activities, demos, all organized by subject. An anthology of lots of material!!!!!!!!!!! http://exploscience.com/Video_Page.html - tons of VIDEOS of demonstrations organized by topic!!!!!! http://www.chemtopics.com/ - maybe a lot to search through http://portal.acs.org/portal/acs/corg/content?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=PP_TRANSITIONMAIN&node_id=1090&use_sec=false&sec_url_var=region1&__uuid=ed83746f-f954-438b-b741-019a3592c2ca subscription to chem matters, a great magazine that connects chemistry to the everyday lives of students e-mail me if you want to continue to swap web-sties, I constantly search for them. I am thankful for the advise in podcasts. jlarendt@cps.edu Do you find this valuable? |
