My Landscape of Learning

After two weeks of volunteer teaching in Cusco, Peru I hiked up Machu Picchu. This was my view. This is my landscape of learning.

Did You Know? AutoPlay Google Presentations

Did you know that there is a way to automatically advance your Google Presentation to the next slide? All you have to do is publish your presentation to get these additional options. How it Works When you are editing your Google Presentation, simply click " File ", then select, " Publish to the web ". Then simply go down to the option that reads, " Automatically advance presentation to the next slide " and select preferred amount of time between slides. In addition, you can even get your presentation's " Document link ", " Embed code " and you can even change the " Presentation size ". Finally, you can also choose to "start your slideshow as soon as the presentation loads", and to "restart after the last slide". These settings are particularly helpful if you plan on embedding your presentation into a website, or if you plan to share the presentation with others. Here's

My Comment to a Controversial Blog Post

I read a blog post this morning that really got me thinking. I read about an educator who used to feel hopeless in the field of education. He became very negative and cynical regarding our education system today. Toward the end of the blog post I was refreshed to read that he persevered and re-instilled hope and faith, both in himself and the field of education.

I decided to put a positive spin on the issue to help remind educators that we need to continue to be resilient by motivating and inspiring our colleagues, future teachers, and our students to be the best that they can possibly be, especially when times are tough! Below is an excerpt from the blog post, " Why I Continue Teaching " As the weight of proposals such as these and standardized testing crushes my innovation, imagination, and cr

13 Ways to Use Socrative as a Formative Assessment

Socrative is a smart, student response system that empowers teachers to collect data from their students via smartphones, laptops, and tablets. I find Socrative to be the most useful SMS app because students can use it on any platform with internet service, rather than phones with text messaging services. I let my students use Socrative with my laptops and iPod Touches in the classroom. It is a great way for teachers to assess students and collect immediate feedback. Its so Simple Teachers login through their device and select an activity which controls the flow of questions and games. Students simply login with their device and interact real time with the content. Quick and Easy Assessment Student responses are visually represented for multiple choice, true/false and Short Answer questions. For pre-planned activities a teacher can view reports online as a google spreadsheet or as an emailed Excel file. I am a huge advocate of Socrative for several reasons Socrativ
