Part 2 ONLINE

SHARING

Sometimes doing things on our own may be manageable…

But the power of working together has the ability to

transform

This is the second installment of a series called

Got Tech ?In this session, we will

investigate ways of sharing online

#2. Share

Essentially, there are 3 ways of sharing …

using resources from others,

contributing your work, and

collaborating on a project

Of course, there are many websites that you already visit regularly and borrow

‘stuff ’ from

As educators, we are forever searching for

resources that we can use in our classrooms today,

and there are many!

The site below is a list of several useful sites for

educatorshttp://www.boxoftricks.net/internet-resouces-for-education/

I have started a list of many useful mathematics sites

found at:https://sites.google.com/a/wecdsb.on.ca/math-matters/links

More importantly, the model of listing the name of a good

site, along with a short description, may be

the best way to start building your own catalogue

Consider joining a couple of online communities where educators share

their best practices

After our first session, hopefully you have

joined (and are following) a few Blogs?

There are also several good communities for sharing specifically for educators

to learn more, or start your own, please visit:

Slideshare is the ultimate site for sharing presentations

(PowerPoint), and documents http://www.slideshare.net/

Edmodo is a free and secure social learning network for

teachers, students and schools. It provides a safe and easy way to

connect and collaborate, exchange ideas, share content, and access homework, grades and school

notices.http://www.edmodo.com/#

The goal of TeacherTube is to provide an online community for sharing

instructional videos. As well, it is a site where teachers can post videos

designed for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill.

Any online advice would never be complete without Google.

GoogleDocs is a free site that allows users to create and

share work online:
