Tech Integration Teacher, What time is it? August 23, 2016

When someone asks what time it is, that person wants to know the time, not the history of the clock, not how a clock works, and not what other types of clocks there are. Classroom teachers want to help their students improve their academic learning through technology. Sometimes they need help with technology so they go […]

In my technology role, I served under the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction. She had a simple mission: Improve students’ academic learning. My mission was equally simple: Improve students’ academic learning through technology […]

Digital Badges: Better Than Grades? October 19, 2015

Teachers understand that the grade in a course consists of many different factors such as homework, participation , projects, tests, etc. Blodget observes that sometimes grades reflect attitude, effort, ability and behavior (http://www.academia.edu/9074119/Grading_and_Whether_or_not_Grades_Accurately_Reflect_Student_Achievement). Equally important, a letter […]

World Language Students Use of Mobile Devices in the Classroom October 5, 2015

Do world language students use technology n the classroom? Do their teachers go beyond having their students use technology simply for the drill and practice in vocabulary and grammar?

Digital Badges: Individual or Categorized Learning Badges? September 12, 2015

The idea of digital badges sounds appealing for the digital children in classes. As teachers start thinking about digital badges, they have to figure out what badges will be awarded. The teachers can award social or academic badges. If teachers decide to use academic badges, then the teachers may base their badges on the Common […]

I am a science teacher and I could see using flickr in my classroom as a neat real world connection. I would ask the kids to take a picture anytime they see something outside of school that could be deemed “physics in action” and then post thier pictures in a shared class account. This activity would get my students searching thier everyday surroundings for physics and truly processing what they have learned in class but in a new, and more meaningful, context.

I could periodically review the pictures with my students and have discussions about whether the picture shows good physics and what concepts it relates to that we have covered in the course. Over the course of the year I could imagine over 50 photos being posted by my students.

Sciteach,
Your physics in action is a great use of using Flickr. The students could even comment on the physics in each other’s pics.
