Many of my students do not have access to graphing calculator at home. If you need one too, try this one.

Check out this java applet that creates “clouds” out of inputed text. In the example below, I used my name with words associated with the content I teach. http://wordle.net/ There are tons of possibilities for using this in the classroom.

A Different Approach to TAKS
Filed Under Unassigned | Leave a Comment
I went to several broadcast workshops where they were using quick clips to help students with TAKS. This website has more than just the broadcast notes. http://www.pasadenaisd.org/tcea/
You can also use Photo Story 3 to make videos from still pictures and the students love it! There was a school that used the incentive of making a Photo Story 3 movie out of the students work (they had to score a 4 to do this) that raised their TAKS writing scores. They actually had students that had never wanted to learn about revising doing a ton of revising just to get to make a movie out of their story.
Here is another site that has more than just broadcast information on it http://tweb.lisd.net/melissa_hall/index.htm.
This was the one website I was able to get down from the closing speaker http://torres21.typepad.com/flickschool/ It amazed me how many different teachers had figured out that they had to make the subject appealing to the students. These teachers chose to use pod-casting, broadcasting, windows movies, etc. to make their subject interesting. One school started making posters of students stories who scored a 4 on their practice writing. Then that student was allowed to make an audio pod cast of the story. Once that was done, they let the student make a windows movie, using still pictures the students took with a small digital camera, about their story. The school posted the podcast and then the movie on the school website. They said that after about the 3rd or 4th story that was made into a movie, students who had never wanted to write started revising and revising until they got the necessary 4 on their paper to be allowed to do this.

This website has a “how to” for claymation and movie maker. It also has examples of claymation movies. This a root directory but you can still click on the links to go to the documents or you can right click, choose save target as and then save the file on your computer.
