Here are you Tuesday Tech Tips.
Tip #1: Meet Blendspace
This tool allows you to collect digital content from around the web and compile it into organized lessons that students can work through at their own pace. You also have the ability to create quizzes right within your lessons that can be used for formative assessment. In Blendspace you are able to include any of you Google Drive formats or add content YouTube, OpenEd, Flickr, Educreations, Search Gooru or Dropbox. You can also upload media files from your computer or add a web page.
Get started here or check out these webinars to see how teachers are using Blendspace in the classroom.
Tip #2: Sharing is Caring (and time saving)
We collaborate in almost every aspect of our teaching and we often encourage students to do the same. Fortunately, Schoology has a feature that allows us to share the resources we create just like we do in other aspects of our job
Start by selecting 'Personal' from the 'Resources' drop down menu
Click the file box icon to add a new collection
Click the 'Share' button to add other Schoology users as collaborators to the collection
Anybody that was added as a collaborator will now be able to copy resources from that collection and add it to their courses. They are also able to add their own resources.
Splitting the workload between teachers and creating a great collection of instructional resources! What's not to love? The best part is that you will be able to pull from this ever growing collection to build your courses next year.
