week+1

Welcome to Week 1

Tired of explaining the same thing to your students over and over again? Not any more! Make a tutorial for your students to download off of your website when they are at home or during an in class activity.

To do this, we will be using SMART NOTEBOOK software

=Our Goal for Today: My ideas because I need structure, but You can Do something else...=


 * (Red) Create a Tutorial in Smart Notebook --> Save it --> Upload it to You Tube ---> Embed in a powerpoint
 * (Orange) Create a Tutorial that you will put on your website. Then Create a Castle learning assignment that goes along with it...
 * Idea: Students can watch the tutorial at their own pace, and then answer Questions based on the lesson after. This is a good way to differentiate :)
 * (Green) Create a Wiki with a tutorial or Use Voice Thread (see Noteworthy Links) to share with your students. Encourage them to comment on the Wiki or Voice thread with something VALUABLE
 * Or, Something I plan on doing.... Offering bonus points to any student who works out a problem they find difficult using a Flip Video Camera... I will talk more about this.
 * I can see this being beneficial once/ unit on a big concept. The cool thing about a wiki is that kids can comment on what you posted or towards each other....

Here Is The Video on HOW TO insert a Youtube video to powerpoint: It's Pretty bad ;) media type="file" key="Crazy How to embed a youtube.wmv"

__**FYI:**__
PEARSON offers videos of tutorials on their website that is accessible through JMAP Click Here **Adding these links to your website, or linking to them in your PowerPoint are a great idea. Also, you could have the kid's watch the videos, and there are quizzes and PDF files to go along with the tutorial (Good for AIS, or a Day you're out)
