File Sharing



I finally figured a way to store and share files on this blog (I think).

Click here if you are interested in downloading a copy of the grading checklist.

Click here if you are interested in downloading a copy of the notebooking starter pages.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this works :)

Joan - I just came across that site today. It is called Google Sites and it is a free website/wiki creator from google. I put a mini version together to share files here but I see so much potential for personal and school use.

If you cut and paste this website into your tool bar you can watch a short video. http://www.google.com/sites/help/intl/en/overview.html

Below the video you can see a classroom sample.

I haven't done much playing around, other then to start sharing files, but plan to soon.

Thanks for sharing. There's another site that's free called Media Fire to upload documents. I found my school's firewall wouldn't let me access it.

By the way, the last page in your starter pages file, says science contact. I assumed you meant contract.

It was meant to read science contact page. I usually have my parents fill out sometime the late part of the first week of school. I glue it to the inside cover of the students notebook so I have contact information immediately if I need to get a hold of a parent. I rarely used it last year and really should have weeded it out this year...but didn't. Chalk it up to being overly distracted with the start of the school year just around the corner (Monday for us).

This is really cool that you are there helping out other teachers. Just so you know I voted for you teacher website. Right now I am obsessed with animoto, but I think I will try out this file sharing program.

Digital Citizen Cards

This project idea came from a monthly challenge put out by Adobe Express. We have the free EDU version deployed in our district and I thought this might be fun to try with a class. I liked that there was a prize element where the students could win a classroom set of hero cards  and it tied in with Digital Citizenship Week (October 17-21).  I teamed up with an elementary technology lab teacher and we decided to try it with one fifth grade class.  We looked over the available templates and decided we liked the layout of the 6-8 template the best (because they had to list advice for staying safe online).  One of the best things about these Adobe monthly challenge templates is that they can be modified. The revised template can then be sent to students via a link or through Google Classroom.  All the templates for this challenge Adobe gives you a sample template with sample wording but we wanted students to come up with their own wording. Neither one of us was ke...

Secret Messages - How To (Light and Color)

This was fun activity that I got from Roper Mountain Science Institute. They suggested red theater gel to reveal the message, which can get pricy. Another idea I heard was to ask movie theaters to donate left over 3D glasses, which also have a red filter. A guest speaker we had last year said red jello would work. Tried it this week and it worked like a charm. The students thought it was very cool. I found my "attention challenged" students had trouble focusing on making their own secret messages so I was very glad that I had made extra copies of the sheets from the GEMS Color Analyzer book that they could color and then check under the jello.

Random Idea - Website Domain Name

For the past two years I have purchased a yearly subscription to a stand alone website (School World) which I love. I did this because our district was using a very nonuser friendly website for its teachers and I was tired of not being able to do what I want with the website they had given me. I got the idea of a separate website from one of my son's teachers who had done the same thing years ago, she used a different teacher website then School World but it was the same principle. The yearly subscription rate for my own website was $35 and was extremely reasonable. I simply provided a link on my district website to my new site. The district did not have a problem with this. Several teachers were doing it. I am one of these "don't ask...don't tell" teachers so even if there was a problem I wasn't going to find out about it :) Last year the rest of the fourth grade team purchased subscriptions to the site as well. We also purchased our own domain names throug...
