Symbaloo Mixes. About Wonderopolis. Welcome to Wonderopolis®, a place where natural curiosity and imagination lead to exploration and discovery in learners of all ages. Brought to life by the National Center for Families Learning (NCFL), our Wonders of the Day® will help you find learning moments in everyday life—ones that fit in with dinner preparations, carpool responsibilities, a stolen moment between breakfast and the bus, or within school curriculum and education programs. Wonder is for everyone. It can happen anywhere and at anytime. Connecting the learning we do in our schools, our homes, and our communities, Wonderopolis walks the line between formal and informal education. Each day, we pose an intriguing question and explore it in a variety of ways. Since our inception in October 2010, Wonderopolis has been lauded for our fresh approach to wonder and learning.

Children, parents, teachers, schools, and families all benefit from Wonderopolis—as well as contribute to its content and growth. Khan Academy. iOS Apps to Support Reading and Writing - UDL Resource. Raki's Rad Resources: Let the Kids Teach the Lesson. Way back in August, as I began playing with my iPad, and deciding how I would use it in my classroom, I discovered Educreations. At that time I wrote a post about some interesting ways to use it and you can check them out HERE. I have used in lots of these ways this year, but all of these ways have been teacher led. While they are a great substitute for standing at the front of the room explaining, I have discovered a much better use for the Educreations app – let the kids make the lesson!

This week, my third graders have been working on negative numbers, which is a concept we have spent a bunch of time on already and they have brought pretty close to mastery. So I decided I wanted them to “teach” others about negative numbers. I asked them to explain: 1. placing negative numbers on a timeline 2. adding negative numbers 3. subtracting negative numbers and I told them they had to do it in less than 90 seconds of video. Here is the video that they created: Educreations - Teach what you know. Learn what you don't.
