Amazing animal Webcams

Karen B from KB Konnected put together some great animal web cams that my kids have enjoyed watching. They've seen eagles hatched and bear cups growl in the morning. It's another great way to use the Web to engage your kids in something other than games and chatting.

Below is an embedded binder icon of her resources. If you would like to see some of her other cool binders - click on her 'Binder Author' name on the right. I've also added her binder to my binder library below.

Google Calendar

Mike Fisher created a great youtube video on how to embed a google calendar into a livebinder. Having a live calendar in you livebinder is a great way to access documents and check deadlines all in one place. You can have a tab that hosts the google calendar among other tabs containing all the documents you need for your project. The other great thing about google calendar in a binder is that you can also embed other google docs in the binder as well. You can have published documents that update in the binder everytime you make a change. You can also have collaborative google docs so students can work on writing projects within the binder without having to worry about re-uploading finished documents. More on that later. In the meantime, enjoy this video by Mike Fisher.

Valuable Resources for Gifted Kids Great for Your Kids Too

I came across a library of resources put together by a teacher in Texas who identifies herself as 'teachagiftedkid.' In her blog - she discusses the importance of providing the right learning environment for gifted children. Often times, the kids do not know why they are placed in such programs - only that they've taken a test and there they are. She makes an interesting point - arguing that alot of this mindset reflects how parents and teachers have not paid attention to learning differences in these students and also identifies that this may be where the struggle with elitism in the program develops.

I think all students have their own unique ways of learning - we are not robots after all. I think parents should understand the different ways in which their kids respond to information. They can benefit from the work that other parents and teachers have created to help students become the best they can be. Its worth checking out - if only as a way to reinforce learning at home.

Her blog addresses many interesting questions: - http://teachagiftedkid.com/

Great Science project for the summer

here is a cool website that lets you help Nasa map the moon. There are high resolution images of the moons surface and this application lets anyone explore the pictures and map out craters with descriptions. I think this would be a great science project for the summer. And a great way to get free help for NASA...
