Congratulations!!
You have completed the final full week of August of the 2015!
Greetings!!
This is the “5th edition" of the Fabulous Friday Technology Tip (F2 T2) that shares technology tools and resources that can be integrated into your daily lessons, unit plans and classroom centers.
Tips for the month of August will continue to offer easy ways in which you can seamlessly integrate technology into your daily and weekly classroom routines. Each tip has embedded links to assist you with implementation.
- Make the news a learning tool.
Help students better understand current events and connect todays news to their own lives by encouraging them to further explore the issues of the day. The Why Files, for example, uses news and current events as the basis for science, health, and technology lessons. What caused the tornado that devastated the Midwest or the hurricane that hit Florida? How does war affect those living in battle zones? What vote-counting technique is most accurate? The Why Files will explain it all. How Stuff Works also is an extensive site with information on a vast number of topics. Today's students, for example, might want to learn How Stinger Missiles Work, How Stem Cells Work, or How Hybrid Cars Work.
- Spice up your grammar lessons.
Explore Daily Grammar's Lesson Archive to find a new grammar lesson every day. The site features nearly 450 lessons on topics ranging from adjectives and apostrophes to prepositional phrases and verbs!
- Make science a daily event.
With the current emphasis on reading and math in schools, getting in a daily -- or even weekly -- science lesson can be difficult. If youre having trouble finding time for a more formal science lesson, take a minute to discuss NASAs Astronomy Picture of the Day or Goddard Space Centers Earth Science Picture of the Day, both of which include a brief explanation of the days photo. You might also briefly discuss a scientist or a scientific event from Today in Science History.
- Sign up for a science experiment of the week.
If you have the time for the science lesson, but not enough time to research and find a steady supply of really engaging science experiments, sign up for Steve Spangler's Science Experiment of the Week. Each week, a new science experiment will be e-mailed to you.
Remember, please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance with using these phenomenal "FREE" nuggets.I look forward to a successful school year and the endless possibilities that the collaboration and integration of technology will provide us with reaching all of our learners.
--Please continue to have a positive and productive day!
