Kathy Schrock- Sketch noting in Education. @kathyschrock
I was recently introduced to sketch noting in the Spring 15
semester with Dr. Bell. I feel this is an excellent way to express ideas through
images. I know I practiced sketch noting with my 5th grade students
when we were discussing the story “Hidden Worlds” from our Texas Treasures reading
basal. The students truly enjoyed being able to express their ideas through art
instead of simply writing notes.

I never would have imagined that such an awesome program is
available for children to be able to interact with 3-D technology. 3Ders.org
featured an 8 year old who designed a smart watch that is programmed to make
games and even calculate values like PI. I believe this is an excellent
resource that can serve as encouragement to open the door to future architects
and engineers for children.

Periscope for Teachers
This is an excellent tool to have access to in order to
get the latest information in a short amount of time. The great thing is that
it is very simple to use. Teachers love Periscope because they are able to
access videos for professional development straight from home. This can be
super convenient for educators and other professionals as well. Perhaps in the
future, teachers will be able to use Periscope to give virtual lessons to
students at home without them having to actually be on campus.

I couldn’t have put it any better. Life is too short to
fuss over things that are out of our control. There are often times that some
of the difficult things we grow through in life help to build up a stronger
individual.

The
Daring Librarian- @GwynethJones – Sticky Fingers-Library Makerspace Beginnings.
I recently attended an in-service on how to use
makerspace in my campus’ library. I really love the sticky fingers idea because
I know it is something I would be able to try with my students. I believe all
children will enjoy working with the different materials in the makerspace. I
know these types of experiences are memorable for children and can actually
help them express their ideas through their creations.

Lerman- @jimlerman Voice Typing come to
Google
There are some graphic organizers on Google Docs that are
going to be easier to work with because voice typing will now be made
available. It is important for all studen5ts to have the latest technology available
in order to be successful in their education.
