21st Century Learning
How can I join the 21st century learning
community
?
As a teacher
what can I do…
to bring 21st century learning
to my students?
Acquire a classroom set
of Netbooks!
Yeah,
right!
With all the budget cuts…
…how is this even
possible?
To make the magic
happen…
USE YOUR OWN COMPUTER…
…write a grant!
Why should I start with Netbooks?
They are inexpensive when bought in larger quantities.
Netbooks connect students directly to 21st Century Learning…
and with many different
multimedia delivery systems…
Such as:
Powerpoint Presentations
Glogster
Word clouds
Youtube
Screencasts
Podcasts
all types of educational sites
…and a place to frame your
classroom lessons and student’s work
Moodle
So let’s take Moodle as our example today.
What is a Moodle anyway?
Moodle is not a creature.
Moodle is a site that houses an educational framework to deliver and host...
Lessons
Resources
Database
Questionnaire
Wiki
Chat
Database
Forum
Link to websites
Podcasts
Screencasts
Videos
Webinars
Webquests
To name just a few possibilities.
And it even keeps kids very engagedin their learning.
Netbooks can be used by students to connect with, and experience, 21st century learning
Students come to the home page:
Where they find resources and daily reading assignments or text
Teachers can post an entire unit of lessons
Teachers can upload text examples
Assess studentsby using a quick form
Which looks like this when you click into it and results are collected in a spread sheet:
Students can create power points and upload:
Here is an example:
Add videos
Add Screencasts
Discussion Forums
Teachers can add discussion forums in literacy:
The possibilities
are endless
Imagination
Needed
Inside the Netbook are
other features that can be used
right in the classroom by the
students
You can image them to have all kinds of features:
They have the usual features of a regular
lap-top
Various educational features
Graphic capabilities
Internet browser
Word Processor
Spreadsheet
Presentation capabilities
My favorite feature is …
The sound recorder!
I use this to record my students during
reading, conferencing, and
speaking
Don’t wait and be left behind!
Bringing in Netbooksis a top priority!
For 21st CenturyLearning
That will be in my next video!
