Turn Off the Lights – Browser Extension

See on Scoop.itMyWeb4Ed


Turn Off the Lights is a browser extension that give you focus to the video you are watching. And it dark the rest of the page.


Carol Mortensen‘s insight:

What a wonderful idea and very powerful in the classroom.  This add-on available on Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Opera and in the Windows Store for Windows 8 dims your screen so that the video you are showing stands out.  It’s very much like the theater darkening at the beginning of the movie!  It’s an excellent tool, excellent for teaching, and 100% free!  Try it out!  It has been getting rave reviews and after one video with Turn Off The Light, you’ll know why!

A huge collection of excellent high school resources for science in a Symbaloo Webmix!

 


Carol Mortensen‘s insight:

I’ve put together a huge (and growing) collection of high school resources 4 science in a Symbaloo Webmix called HS Resources 4 Science.  I then embedded it on our school website for students to access.  You can do that, as well, by getting the embed code!  Whenever I update, it will automatically update your webmix, as well.  Please share more with me if you have any!

Otixo: All your cloud files from a single login

See on Scoop.itMyWeb4Ed


Otixo connects your favorite services (like Dropbox, Box, Google Docs, SkyDrive, S3, SugarSync, FTP, etc.) so that you can access all your online files in once place


Carol Mortensen‘s insight:

With today’s cloud based storage accounts, Otixo offers a great solution for managing all your accounts in one place!  It isn’t free, though, and that’s the only downfall.  However, it looks promising!

The First Five Days of School with BYOT

See on Scoop.itMyWeb4Ed


I recently read an article by Dennis Pierce in eSchool News that discussed Alan November’s “First Five Days” project. November announced this project at his Building Learning Communities conference…


Carol Mortensen‘s insight:

I’m becoming more and more excited about the resouces that are available to build a strong BYOT introduction experience when school starts.  Again, the word purposeful begins to take shape as the main approach.  You don’t want to let students loose in a room full of computers without guidance and there is no difference here. Digital citizenship must be taught!
