I can't imagine how long it took to create that Disney Copyright movie...
Learning Registry
I had a hard time with the Learning Registry. I tried to search for "Physical Education" but the only results that came back were on physics. I then tried to search for something using the "Browse by Subject" tab. Out of all of the categories for Physical Educations, there was only one link, something on volleyball. When I tried to follow that link, not only was the link broken, but it was in German (or some other language. I tried to search for social-emotional topics, but, again, I could only find broken links. I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong, but I couldn't find any links that worked.
Illinois Shared Learning Environment
This site was much easier to navigate. I looked up nutrition, as I thought it was something both Emily Keeter and I could use as Science and KW will be navigating who will be teaching many different health topics with the new standards upon us. The following link is to a small science experiment some kids did on the importance of breakfast.

Creative Commons and Open Educational Resources (OER) are some pretty amazing topics that haven't been getting as much discussion as I would think they deserve. It's an amazing idea, allowing other people to use your created work, in order to create their own work. It's like paying it forward, with creativity.
I've heard of the OER movement before, but outside of education. I've looked into Kahn Academy just because my dad had heard something about it. In fact, when I looked back at it again for this assignment, I lost myself in a video on WWII for about 10 minutes. I love the idea of having all of this information available for free. It helps gives access to content for schools of different economic backgrounds. The videos they make these days are so much more entertaining than the ones I watched in school. It's great to know that all educators have access to them!
I really loved the Spell with Flickr site! It's so easy to use, and was pretty fun in doing so. The Big Huge Labs also was fun, but more time required. I made a movie poster. It was easy to do, but the quality picture I used wasn't good enough to share.

Love what you did with Spell with Flicker. I'll have to try that. I think Khan Academy is such a great resource too!
ReplyDeleteDon't tell anyone but I always watch a Khan Academy video before teaching my harder physics concepts ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree that Illinois Shared Learning Environment was easier to navigate than Learning Registry. Like others have said, Khan Academy is an outstanding resource!! I also found Spell with Flckr to be fun and easy to use - students would love using it!
