OCTOBER 9, 2010

This school year, teachers at Bluff Gunn Elementary , a school located in Iowa, decided to use Facebook in the hopes that they could create an interactive learning environment for their students—showing them the positive ways of using the site and the importance of a social networking— while squeezing a few spelling and grammar lessons in between. First graders at Gunn Elementary also learn Facebook, however the grammar portion is geared more towards the fourth grade students.

I found it particularly fascinating that in one elementary school they found that the students’ enhanced presentation skills acquired from class gave them the confidence to speak in front of large adult groups. As I write this post I am sitting in the Des Moines airport waiting for my flight back to the East Coast. I was fortunate to spend the last few days here in Iowa as a guest of Scott McLeod who founded and runs the C.A.S.T.L.E. program at Iowa State University.

Whether you are teaching science at the elementary level or college, there is something for everyone. #Edchat is a year old. A year. Sometimes it is hard for me to believe how successful it has been.

Sweet Search 4 Me is a search engine for early elementary students. One of the challenges teachers face when teaching kids about content on the Internet is evaluation. It can be difficult for kids (especially the younger ones) to know or be able to see that even if a website looks fancy the information it contains can be misleading or flat out wrong.

I always do some activities with kids as these concepts become important in 2nd grade, but they stay important throughout the elementary, middle and high school years. Cardinal Points is a cool site that, though a little confusing even to me, provides a complex activity that could be used to target these concepts, perhaps with upper elementary, middle- or high school students. Often our kids have trouble with left and right, let alone the compass points.

Language Lens: The information gleaned through exploring Forest Life''s interactive interface would be great for upper-elementary or higher students learning categorization (plants, animals, activities, habitats) and sequencing strategies. UPM Forest Life is a gorgeous interactive website created by an international forestry company. UPM is a paper producer but takes efforts to do so in a sustainable manner; I think this website is a nice effort to raise awareness about sustainability.

Cookies and math tend to go together in an elementary school classroom. The problem is that elementary school teachers did not learn math that way, and many now struggle to teach to the new standards. An April 2016 study of a large urban school in Georgia reported the frustration of many elementary level teachers.
