NOTA – Take notes and more!!
This is a new one. I have been testing out many note-taking Web 2.0 tools and love this one. Create a free Nota page at www.nota.com and allow others to edit and/or comment. It reminds me a little of voicethread, but allows for much more. Check out the how to page. http://notaland.com/cappy/8591 It is so easy post photos, clipart, google maps, movies and more…. Jpeg, png, bmp, gif, mp3, swf, doc, xls, ppt, pdf, and any other formats are allowed. Big image files will be automatically compressed. I’m thinking (virtual fieldtrips, digital stories…J, collaborative projects etc… ) Embed the page or share the link. Get students to build content and collaborate. They will love this one! It’s a wiki, but without the boundaries. Leave me a comment or join and edit my page. http://notaland.com/ccapozzoli/9869
Have fun with this one. Oh wait, are we
CCDT-Colaborative Curriculum Design Tool
Happy Friday Everyone,
I was just reading and catching up on my blogs and I stumbled across this interactive curriculum design tool. It is part of Harvard Graduate School of Ed. WOW … if it comes out of Harvard, it’s got to be pretty good. The tool models the principles of the The Teaching for Understanding Framework. This is the link they provide for TFU design principles. http://learnweb.harvard.edu/ent/workshop/ccdt_framework.cfm
This curriculum building tool is not like most, but sure looks very effective. Our district is currently using the LFS framework and online toolbox to build curriculum and it is working for us. However, I do know that not everyone is using the LFS structure or tools, yet still need something for interactive and collaborative curriculum design. If you are looking for an effective online curriculum design tool, the CCDT might be worth investigating.
Oh did I mention it’s FREE, imagine that one, me send a free resource. J Register, and watch the tutorial. It will guide you through steps for building curriculum content.
