ToolZeit – Bedtime Math

What’s it do?

Bedtime Math is one of the sites we included in our post about Flipboard. The Bedtime Math web site delivers timely, real-world math problems. The story problems presented have 3 different levels of difficulty and there is practically a new set of math problems every day!

Basic Features

Each problem has 3 questions with varying degree of difficulty.

Archive of over 400 story problems.

Archive is sortable by categories.

Settings include on/off for sound effects, animations, and anonymous auditing.

How do you see it being used by an educator or student?

Elementary classroom teachers will find a never ending supply of story problems at their fingertips. Many of the math problems are topical with current events so as children hear and see these in their real lives they’ll be reminded of the math problems they worked through.

What’s it do?

Basic Features

Over 100 storyboards to get you started.

Uploads to the Directr site.

Multiple sharing opportunities.

How do you see it being used by an educator or student?

Directr can be used by those teachers that want to capture a special event or something great their students are doing. For teachers introducing filmmaking or digital storytelling, the storyboards are an excellent guide for planning and shooting your stories.

Note: The app is rated 12+ due to some of the storyboards offered and the requirement of an account by someone over the age of 13. Use may be limited due to district policies and classroom management skills.

We would like to see the possibility of editing the storyboard list due to subject matter and to make it easier to navigate the long list.

ToolZeit – Pilo – The Pillow Fairy – An Interactive Children’s Story Book Series with 3D Animation

What’s it do?

Pilo – The Pillow Fairy is a series of three interactive storybooks. The main characters are a child and a pillow toy that comes to life. In each book they go on an adventure.

Basic Features

English/Chinese/Korean recorded by professional native dubbing artists

Choice of characters: You can choose the main character that you want, either a boy (Tommy) or a girl (Sunny).

Decoration of Pilo

Each book contains several different interactive activities.

How do you see it being used by an educator or student?

The Pilo series is a nice set of interactive books your pre-school classes. The interactive activities are at the most basic level with students guided to the correct answers. We would have liked to see the text to the stories to go along with the narration.

There are free versions available but they are not complete and include overly intrusive advertising.

On this week’s episode the EduWin team is excited to be joined by Branden Chi, a 3rd grader in Mrs. McCluskey’s class at Wescott Elementary School .  Branden is an extremely creative and inspirational young man who choose to create the claymation book report for Charlotte’s Web which has received a great deal well deserved attention from educators around the world.  We hope you enjoy the interview during which Brandon explains the project!

This weeks show also features #eduwins from @PrincipalJ, @HoldOn2urChair, Carol Reese and @drezac

It’s always interesting to see a common thread among the EduWin Team’s selections for the show.  This week it seemed we focused on how students can creatively make connections and have a true, positive and meaningful impact on the world through technology.

James’ favorite #eduwin via @drezac: “This Claymation Charlotte‘s Web video is a HUGE #EduWin. This was made by one of our 3rd graders! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtmPHuzd8w8 …”

I’m happy to report Branden continues to post exciting video’s on his YouTube Channel. Be sure to check out his latest claymation creation: The Chocolate Enemies Trailer and his first hand drawn animation: Morph

If your interested in stop motion animation, Branden recommends starting with iMotion HD.  Some of his other works were created using VidRhythm Both apps have free versions on the iOS platform.

We look forward to many more creative works from Branden and would like to thank his father for allowing him to join us and for fostering and supporting his talent!

Carlos’ favorite #eduwin via @PrincipalJ: “A middle school student created his own business to raise awareness about bullying. WOW! #eduwin http://www.meinfinity.com/ ”

Michelle’s favorite #eduwin via Carol Reese on whatisyoureduwin.com: “Students in Austin, Texas used Skype to discuss water conservation with students and a naturalist in Kenya. Their story was picked up by Skype and is now used to promo Skype in the Classroom. Talk about an #EduWin!”

Unfortunately, Cheryl could not join us for this episode as she was participating in #edcamp Detroit.  We look forward to catching up with Cheryl on Episode #20.  Carlos’ personal eduwin was the idea of edcamps.  If your interested in this exciting unconference format you can find an upcoming event in your area at http://edcamp.wikispaces.com/

Michelle shared the #techcoach chat that happens on Thursdays and the corresponding site at http://techcoachchat.wikispaces.com which is full of great resources as well an archive of previous chats!

James shared a QR Code Easter Egg hunt created by @lisaberkery and influenced by one of James’ sessions at a recent conference.  You can find her summary of the project at: http://www.berkerybytes.blogspot.com/

Why Humor Makes You More Creative

“I think the most meaningful barrier that the institution has created is the lack of motivation or inspiration to give young people to want to stay in school,” Angel Figueroa, founder of I-LEAD Charter School in Reading, PA.

Coursera Announcement

Maria  Cipollone (pronounced: chip-alone) is a born-and-raised Philadelphian who is also a PhD student in Media and Communication at Temple University.  She studies how “new” media technologies (e.g. video games, virtual/augmented reality experiences, mobile technologies) shape our thinking, working, and especially learning.   In her dissertation, she wants to answer the following questions:  what happens to the motivation to play Minecraft when we take Minecraft to school?  What psychological factors (for example ‘tele’presence) contribute to motivation to ‘mine’?  And the big one: does Minecraft help students learn?  Maria has a wealth of knowledge and you will not want to miss this conversation.  Tune-in and level-up!

Strong Teams, Strong Schools

How does violence affect students’ ability to learn? That’s what eighth-grader De’Qonton Davis and his classmates set out to investigate as part of the NewsHour’s Student Reporting Labs project in partnership with PBS station WEDU in Tampa. The students produced a unique video report that they hope President Obama will see.

De’Qonton explains, “I want the president to see what I could do and see what — what young kids can do, young black American kids. And I want them to know that somebody out there is trying to learn and trying to get their education right and be a good adult dad in a community when he grows up.”
