Web helps boost school supply drives

A new study confirms what most of us in education already know: Teachers dig deep into their own pockets to make sure their students don’t go without.

Teachers spend an average of $623 annually on everyday supplies like paper, crayons, and pencils, according to the study, which was sponsored by OfficeMax.

About 97 percent of teachers surveyed in April reported using their own cash to buy supplies, prizes and incentives, snacks, and materials for arts and crafts projects.

I am sitting at my desk, two computers on and one of them finally went to the screen saver.  I have it set to show words and definitions.  The word GEEK was it.  I tend to consider myself a tech geek of sorts, not completely, but kinda of.  Not sure I really fit the description. Anyway, made me think!  How about you?

geek |gēk|
noun informal
1 an unfashionable or socially inept person.  (I don’t think I am, or at least I hope not)
• [with adj. ] a person with an eccentric devotion to a particular interest : a computer geek.  (guess I fit this)
2 a carnival performer who does wild or disgusting acts. (absolutely not)
DERIVATIVES
geeky adjective
ORIGIN late 19th cent.: from the related English dialect geck ‘fool,’ of Germanic origin; related to Dutch gek ‘mad, silly.’

Which web 2.0 tools are best suited for enabling collaboration in teaching and learning? A trio of ed tech experts offer up their top three choices apiece.

Ten years into the new century, we’re still trying to find the web 2.0 tools that best facilitate collaboration—one of the fundamentals of 21st century learning. As the number of tools continues to grow, and fuzzy terms like cloud computing, hashtags, and synchronous live platforms are introduced into the lexicon daily, even the most tech-savvy educators can have trouble determining which technologies have a role in a collaborative academic environment and which are simply new toys.

We asked three top ed tech consultants (Steve Hargadon, John Kuglin, Leslie Fisher) to each select three web 2.0 tools they believe are ideal for fostering collaboration in teaching and learning. The result is a compilation of technologies that can “do things of value,” as one of our experts says, in the instructional and professional development realms, and in both the traditional and the virtual classroom.

This Saturday, July 31st, Kim Caise, Lorna Costantini and Peggy George will be hosting another Classroom 2.0 LIVE show. As an extension to the Classroom 2.0 Ning community, Classroom 2.0 “LIVE” shows are opportunities to gather with other educators in real-time events, complete with audio, chat and desktop sharing. A Google calendar of upcoming shows is available at http://live.classroom20.com/calendar.html. If you haven’t used Elluminate before, we encourage you to view this tutorial to prepare for the Elluminate session: http://www.youtube.com/elluminated#p/u/1/fKQZM4slwzA.

The topic this Saturday will be, “What’s New in Diigo v. 5?“, with special guests, Maggie Tsai, Jason Schmidt and Shannon Miller. Join us to discuss the new features in the latest version of Diigo and how teachers use the social bookmarking tool in the classroom with students. “Dip your toes in” the conversations until you feel comfortable enough to “jump into the conversations with both feet”! More information and session details are at http://live.classroom20.com. If you’re new to the Classroom 2.0 LIVE! show you might want to spend a few minutes viewing the screencast on the homepage to learn how we use Elluminate and navigate the site to find the archives of previous shows and resources. Each show begins at 12pm Eastern and may be accessed in Elluminate directly using the following link: http://tinyurl.com/cr20live.

Posterino provides a solution for the common problem we face in the age of digital images: We shoot a lot of marvelous pictures, bury them deep down in the file system of our computers and most of them never see the light of day again. The solution is simple: Compose a “best of” poster every couple of months and pin it on the wall in your hall. This will make you happy every time you walk by, and it will be a great eye-catcher for your friends and family too.

Do you want to compile a “best of” of your photos from the last several month or create a breathtaking present? No problem…

Templates Posterino offers a variety of templates for posters and photo frames, with grids of identically sized frames or with mixtures of shapes and sizes. And best of all, you can create your own templates too.

Fast & Easy Get started in minutes. Placing dozens of photos onto a poster needs some time and serious work. Posterino will help you by doing the major part of the hard work while you just have to fine tune the results. Choose or shuffle you pictures with just on click.

Fine Tuning You don’t have to stick with the presets Posterino did choose. You can alter your poster in any way you want. For example, you can change the size and shape of individual frames and adjust the placement of each image within its frame. Crop, place and rotate your photos as you like. It’s a breeze. A grid layout helps you position your images just right.

Customization You can choose from a varity of border sizes, shapes and shadows. You can change the background of your poster and add custom text.

Poster Printing You have various options to print your poster: Use the Kodak print service build into iPhoto or a local or internet based print shop.

Magic Trackpad
The new Magic Trackpad is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one.

More to touch, more to love.
Your fingers will fall for the Magic Trackpad. It’s made with smooth, wear-resistant glass that feels great to the touch. And it’s nearly 80 percent larger than the built-in trackpad on the MacBook Pro, giving you plenty of room to perform gestures. Because the entire surface of Magic Trackpad is a button, you can click on objects just as you would using a traditional mouse. And Magic Trackpad sits at the same height and angle as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, so you can go from trackpad to keyboard in one seamless motion.

Bluetooth technology.
Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in conjunction with the Apple Wireless Keyboard for a cable-free, uncluttered workspace. And if you feel like venturing away from your desk, Magic Trackpad maintains a reliable and secure connection up to 33 feet away from your Mac.

MathGirl Games are developed by Mother and daughter MathGirls, Lynn and Molly Rasmussen and programmer Robert Tegel Bonifacio of Code Robert LLC.

“Teaching math facts has been a hobby for 30 years. Math anxiety is a miserable thing for bright children. I want to eliminate that awful feeling from every child’s experience. I have discovered that there are a few missing steps in the math education of people who think they are ‘bad at math.’ No child leaves my kitchen without being asked, ‘What’s 8 times 7?’  We ‘play numbers’ until the answer is easy.”

“In the 1980s, when my children were small, I tried to build math cards and games but they simply didn’t work. Apps provide interactivity and instant feedback. Now all kids can experience my kitchen methods.”

From the designer, Molly Rasmussen:  “Games for girls can be cute and fun. Why can’t math be cute and fun too? Too many math games are like homework. Math Games can look and play like real games.  After graduating from Cornell University, I designed swimwear in Los Angeles for 7 years, including the Hannah Montana brand. I love the shift to education and app development. We’re taking the current trends in design and color, and current trends in gaming, to build a new way to teach math, one that appeals to girls’ senses and how girls like to play.”

From both of us:  It’s fun to work as a mother-daughter team, to be able to work long distance, and to be able to make a difference in people’s lives.

As Kansas City, Mo., students return to their age-assigned classrooms this fall, they will begin to take assessments in math and reading—tests that will determine their mastery of specific skill sets and, ultimately, where they will be placed.
Instead of simply moving kids from one grade to the next as they get older, Kansas City schools will begin grouping students by ability. Once they master a subject, they’ll move up a level. This practice has been around for decades, but was generally used on a smaller scale—in individual grades, subjects, or schools. Kansas City is believed to be the largest U.S. school system to try grouping by ability.
