werkvormen Afgelopen vrijdag en zaterdag verzorgde ik drie workshops over passie en motivatie in je werk onder de titel 'Je bent wat je doet' tijdens het Volkskrant Banen Event 2007 in de Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam. Aanleiding: de boekenserie 'Ik ga voor' van Volkskrant Banen en Spectrum, waaraan ik als auteur meewerk. Een terugblik in enkele korte observaties, gedachten en om te beginnen de slides... Een experiment was om een workshop eens te beginnen met het zingen van een lied (mijn parodie op 'Ik heb geen zin om op te staan' van Het). Ik houd erg van verhalen vertellen, maar dat goed doen is een kunst. Na de eerste sessie merkte ik dat mensen vaak wel ideeën hebben over wat het werkende leven interessanter en leuker kan maken, maar dat de drempel om daadwerkelijk stappen te zetten als erg groot wordt ervaren. Een succesvolle werkvorm is om deelnemers (die elkaar niet kennen) elkaar te laten interviewen. Ik geef anderen vaak het advies 'verwachtingen van je publiek te managen'.
Teachers The Zimmer Twins is a fun way to incorporate technology into the classroom. Watch your students expand their vocabulary, practice proper writing habits, and become junior movie producers all at the same time! Take a few minutes to explore the Zimmer Twins and so you are familiar with the site before using it with your students. Getting Started The best place to start is the help area. Accounts To save movies visitors need to get a nickname and password by joining the site. Setting up accounts in a classroom can present challenges. Use the site without accounts. Remember that students are welcome to set up their own accounts at home with the help of their parents. ICTO Blog » eBook Shoot-out op de iPad #1 Als je mijn Flickr-stream in de gaten houdt, dan had je hem al aan kunnen zien komen. Wat begon als een eenvoudige vergelijking tussen 2 apps. om eBooks mee te maken op de iPad veranderde gedurende de dag in een vergelijking tussen vijf verschillende apps. Alle vijf bieden ze de mogelijk om ePUBs en in een aantal gevallen ook PDFs te maken die je kunt lezen op de iPad en soms ook op andere plekken. Omdat het er uiteindelijk vijf werden leek het me handiger om het geheel op te delen in vijf afzonderlijke berichten. Vandaag in deel #1 aandacht voor Book Creator for iPad. Ik heb al eerder over Book Creator geschreven. Book Creator stelt je in staat om elektronische boeken te maken op de iPad. Mooi is dat je er voor kunt kiezen om PDF’s te maken waarbij de pagina’s ook naast elkaar getoond worden. Hierboven zie je een voorbeeld van zo’n PDF waarbij ik er ook voor gekozen heb om de “iBooks border” toe te laten voegen. De applicatie werkt intuitief en snel.

Riaan Lous HelloSlide - Bring your slides to life Differentiation - tools, tips and resources Differentiation is an important aspect of education. Students learn differently, have different needs, different backgrounds, different skills, different ability levels, different interests and more. As educators, we try to create engaging lesson activities that provide a variety of learning experiences and allow students to demonstrate their learning in different ways. Differentiation should occur in both how students learn and gain knowledge and skills, and in how they demonstrate and are assessed on what they have learned. “In the practice of education, differentiation is defined as working to address the abilities, interests, and needs (both perceived and real) of individuals. Differentiation provides students with opportunities to approach curriculum from their strengths, as varied as these might be.” Here are some resources, tips, and tools on differentiation: Digital Differentiation - ideas and tools for differentiating with digital resources
9 Word Cloud Generators That Aren't Wordle The use of word clouds in the classroom is a powerful way to really get through to visual learners. The details about the following nine word cloud generators will give you a fair idea how, as an educator, you can get the best out of them. A quick note: Wordle is quite easily the most popular word cloud generator out there. It’s free and easy to use. It does require Java though so Chrome users might have some trouble. In any case, this article focuses on non-Wordle options you should know about. Tagul Several features that do not figure in Wordle are incorporated in Tagul.For example, you have the option of choosing personalized shapes and multiple fonts to be used in your cloud. ABC Ya This application is very much like Wordle and operates the way Wordle operates. Tag Crowd This application gives you access to see frequency of words. Word It Out Word It Out helps create word clouds from any text, similar to the way Wordle does. Make Word Mosaic Wordsift TagCloudGenerator You Are Your Words
Create a teacher site using Google Sites in five steps Google Sites is possibly the easiest way to quickly share information online. This platform also makes collaboration a simple and natural part of the process of creating a website, making Google Sites an ideal fit for any classroom, PLC, administration team, or grade level partnerships. Getting started with Google Sites is a breeze, and you can have a fully functioning site going in just minutes. I have worked with many teachers on setting up their own classroom portals with Google Sites. If your district or building does not have an installation of Google Sites, you can create your own page by going to sites.google.com. Step 1: Create your site and set your sharing settings The first step in the process is to create your site. The only setting in the creation process you cannot change later is the URL of your site. Be especially careful to set up your sharing settings correctly. View the video tutorial below for a step-by-step explanation of the process. Step 2: Make your welcome page
