Interesting Ways

The Interesting Ways series continues to be a great example of crowdsourcing good quality classroom ideas and it has been a privilege connecting with all of the people who have taken time to add an idea.
It is remarkable what can be achieved and created together if you give people the right way to do it. Thanks for all the help so far.

The Google Earth tours are KMZ files so there is no export options for other types of media – the best way would be to do a screencast / capture of your narrated tour with a good mic/headset and drop that video file into iMovie.

Hope that helps.

Anyone know how to save the video of a GE tour so it can be edited in say iMovie?

Love your crowd sourced Interesting ways to use Google docs in the classroom – plenty of ideas there to adapt for our teachers to explore Google docs (even if their students aren’t quite ready for it yet – adult community ESL students). I’ll embed it in our Staffroom wiki with my notes highlighting which slides are immediately useful to them.

Go for it – and make sure you let me know how you get on – good luck!!

Wow, Thanks for sharing. I would like to site your “75 Interesting ways..” in my application
for a Technology grant. I teach kindergarten and am part of a Technology Integration Cadre.
This presentation is perfect for illustrating the many ipad uses for enhancing our curriculum goals.

I must echo everybody else’s sentiments here, and say what a fantastic resource this is. It’s websites/communities like this that inspire people like me to create our maths revision apps. We’ve just started a blog, and have posted a short one about using mobile phones in the classroom: http://pocketrevision.co.uk/blog/?p=14 I’m hoping to implement some of the creative ideas I see here, and keep people updated with progress via our blog. Thanks again…..

Support spelling in the classroom suggestion: I use a game called EVAPORATION. Children sit in equal groups eg 5 or 6 with a pencil each and 1 piece of paper for the group. Teacher writes the word on the board in very large letters. When you say go the children pass the paper around the group and write one letter each to spell the word they continue to do this to write the complete word as many times as possible. As they do this the teacher slowly rubs out the word so that it “evaporates”. Once the word is evaporated the teacher calls out stop. The groups count up how many times they have spelt the word correctly and completely. Great for teamwork and practicing the word.
