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…

…to the Internet

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!
