10 Web 2.0 Tools for Recording Learning. At next week's staff meeting I'm running a session for all the teachers who are not involved in maths planning - these are basically the specialist teachers who are teaching subjects such as PE, music and German. This session will look at what Web 2.0 tools these teachers can use for recording student learning. It's quite a diverse group so I want to come up with different tools that will appeal to them all. I first started to think about what these teachers might be doing now to record learning, and then thinking of some ways that technology could transform this. For example with the music and language teachers I would think that being able to make an audio recording of the children speaking or the music that they compose and play would be interesting, whereas with the PE teachers they might be more interested in recording movies of the students doing something in the gym or outside. Presentation + Video: Many teachers might take short videos of the students performing something.

This Year’s 10 Best TED Talks To Share With Students. In honor of the recent TED Live announcement , I thought it’d be a good idea to remind you why TED rocks. Below is just a small fraction of the amazing presentations put on by the folks over at TED. Each one of the presentations embedded below is perfect for sharing with students and showing in class*.
Heck, assigning the viewing of these TED talks as homework isn’t a bad idea. Do you use TED in the classroom? I’d love to hear about it if you did and I know the rest of the Edudemic community would too! Let everyone know about it in the comments. *There are of course many more presentations but I picked these because I thought they resonated with me and would do the same with students.
