When you find yourself with too many tabs, use the Google Extension, OneTab, to convert all of your tabs into a list. When you need to access the tabs again, you can either restore them individually or all at once. When using the OneTab list, you will save up to 95% of memory because you will have reduced the number of tabs open in Google Chrome. You can also share lists by selecting the 'share as a web page' button.
ISTE has some great ideas for learning with tech this year!
"Why not commit to trying one new thing this year to get your students learning with technology. We’ll even make it easy for you. Whether you want to get started with coding, boost your students media literacy, or inspire them with global collaboration projects to fulfill their role as digital citizens, we’ve got some lesson ideas and educator-tested resources to help you get started."
Participants in the NCCAT program "The Maker Mindset" have continued the learning with a Facebook group after the event in Cullowhee May 7-10.
Join this NCCAT Online course to learn how to create essential questions in order to make your students succeed inside and outside the classroom. Today, literacy is about making sense of and engaging reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Questions provide the opportunity to interact with print and non-print text to figure out the deeper meaning of what is being read. The role of questioning is essential to any classroom. When instruction is organized around meaningful questions, students are engaged and understanding becomes more focused.
Collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity—the 4 Cs—are critical components of the digital learning competencies that support and enhance student learning and success for our global society.
