August’s (2013) Best Tweets — Part Three Every month I make a few short lists highlighting my choices of the best resources I shared through (and learned from) Twitter, but didn't necessarily include them in posts here on my blog. I've already shared in earlier posts several new resources I found on Twitter — and where I gave credit to those from whom I learned about them. Those are not included again in this post. If you don't use Twitter, you can also check-out all of my "tweets" on Twitter profile page. I use Storify to "curate" my best tweets:      Wow, Google Street View “Treks” Site Is Impressive!
Google has just created a special site for the Street Views they’ve done in remote and/or unusual sites, including Burj Khalifa, Iqaluit, Mt. Everest, the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, the Amazon Basin and the Kennedy Space Center. More are on the way. I’m adding it to The Best Websites For Learning & Teaching Geography. Thanks to TechCrunch for the tip.  Quote Of The Day: Students “Bring It To Life”Medicine’s Most Important Teachers is a short post over at The Atlantic that is about the education of doctors and their role with patients. However, if you just change a handful of words, it’s very applicable to teachers and students. Here’s an excerpt:
 “The Top Twitter Feeds in Education Policy”I periodically post places to find resources that are supposedly the “most popular” of something or other. I might or might not agree with the criteria used to determine that popularity, but I nevertheless find some useful pieces of information. You can find a collection of these sites at The Best Places To Find The Most Popular (& Useful) Resources For Educators – 2013 (So Far). The Top Twitter Feeds in Education Policy is a new “popular” listing that has been created by Mike Petr1lli. It’s worth a look.  Several Useful Resources On Implementing Common Core Here are several additions to The Most Useful Resources For Implementing Common Core: The Core of the Common Core, Part 1: The Anchor Standards for Reading is from Burkins and Yaris. It provides metaphors and analogies in explaining Common Core. The same site has a Periodic Table of Common Core Standards. Thanks to Wendi Pillars for sharing those two resources on Twitter. Achieve The Core shares Common Core writing samples from classrooms around the country. Two Great FREE Apps from Mastery Connect is from Bill Ferriter.  Getty Museum Makes Nearly 5,000 Public Domain Images Available Online — Will Increase In Future
The Getty Museum just made an announcement: The initial focus of the Open Content Program is to make available all images of public domain artworks in the Getty's collections. Today we've taken a first step toward this goal by making roughly 4,600 high-resolution images of the Museum's collection free to use, modify, and publish for any purpose. I’m adding this info to The Best Online Sources For Images.  A Collection Of “The Best” Lists On Assessment I’ve posted several “The Best” lists on assessment-related issues over the years, and thought I’d narrow them down a bit and post a small collection. Here they are: The Best Resources For Learning About Performance Assessment The Best Resources For Learning About Formative Assessment The Best Resources On ELL's & Standardized Tests The Best Resources For Learning About Effective Student & Teacher Assessments The Best Resources On Grading Practices  Video: “Baby Panda Meets Her Mother “From The Associated Press via GoKicker: Zookeepers in Taipei, Taiwan’s zoo introduced a month-old baby panda cub to her mother. The cub is kept in a separate cage due to concerns that her mother might kill… her.
I’m adding it to The Best Sites To Learn About Pandas.  More Recent Articles | ||||||||||||||||||||||
