Post in your blog: Describe the walkabout experience and include the link to the list of social-bookmarked resources compiled during the exploration.
Answer in your blog:
- What were the three most useful tools or resources resulting from the web walkabout? Explain why you found them useful and include a link to each resource.
- How can students be taught to safely collect tools and resources that can help them maximize their learning?
- What policies or procedures might need to be in place to make the above item possible?
I have been working on a “walkabout” an compiled resources that would make teaching online, or just teaching in general, easier. I used a padlet to compile my resource, which means other resources can be added as they are found.
Top 3 Sites
The first would have to be Delta Math, as its a site I constantly use to assess students. You can use it to personalize assessments based on standards students haven’t mastered yet.
Geogebra would have to be the next best site. It has applications that can make mathematics come alive for students, which isn’t always easy.
Lastly, Google forms is especially useful in assessing students, but also just sending out a survey to figure out the best way to meet everyone’s needs.
Collecting Resources & Policies and Procedures to put in place in the classroom
Student need to be taught first how to identify a safe resource. Once they are taught this each assessment can include a place for them to include the resources they used for that particular assessment, whether it be share with peer or just with the instructor.
