The Month in Review – The Most Popular Posts
Good morning from Maine where colorful leaves and the wind tell us that fall is in full force on the last day of September. On a personal note, it has been a stressful end to the month as my school went from a hybrid model of some students online to a 100% online model in […]
From Student Agency to 200+ Mile Bike Rides
A couple of months ago I was invited to be a guest on Matthew Downing’s Diving Deep EDU podcast. We recorded it in the summer and the episode went live last week. A lot of times when I’m a guest on a podcast it feels like an interview instead of a conversation. This time it […]
Internet Archive Scholar – An Academic Version of the Internet Archive
The Internet Archive warehouses all kinds of fantastic materials (and some not-so-fantastic) that can be useful to teachers and students. The trouble with it is the organization is a little clunky for research purposes. Even if you limit the scope of your search to webpages and text you can still spend a lot of time […]
How to Use Microsoft Forms for a Classroom Sign-in/ Sign-out Sheet
A couple of weeks ago I published a video about how to create a sign-in/ sign-out sheet to use in Google Classroom. A few people have since emailed me to ask if it’s possible to do the same thing in a Microsoft environment. It is possible to do that with Microsoft Forms. In this new […]
“Whoa!” – This Is Why We Should Review Search Strategies Every Year
During last week’s episode of Two Ed Tech Guys Take Questions and Share Cool Stuff I shared a little story from earlier that day in my classroom. The story provides a good reminder of why we should review search strategies every fall even if we think our students “have done it before.” Here’s the […]
Think Like a Coder – The Final Episode!
Last spring my freshmen class enjoyed TED-Ed’s Think Like a Coder series of videos. The final episode of the series was released a few days ago. The last installment is called The World Machine. The World Machine follows the same format as the previous nine installments of Think Like a Coder. The episode features Ethic […]
MoocNote – Add Quizzes to Existing Videos
MoocNote is a free service that I’ve written about a few times in the past as a tool for collaborative note-taking while watching a video. It is a good service for doing that. Recently, MoocNote expanded to offer tools for adding quiz questions to videos. You can now use MoocNote to add multiple choice, true/false, […]
ICYMI – Episode 20 – Two Ed Tech Guys Take Questions & Share Cool Stuff
Every Thursday at 4pm ET/ 1pm PT I join Rushton Hurley from Next Vista for Learning for a free webinar in which we answer questions from readers and viewers. We also feature a couple of cool/ interesting things we’ve found on the web during the week. And in the process of answering questions we often […]
The Week in Review – Trolls, Jam, and YouTube
Good morning from Maine where I’m waiting for the sunrise on what is supposed to be another gorgeous fall day. I’m planning to play outside with my family and go for a bike ride. I hope that you have something fun planned for the weekend as well. This week I once again joined Rushton […]
