World Languages: PALS Defining performance standards is an essential component of an instructional program. They give teachers, students, and parents a measurable level of performance as a goal of the program. Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) teachers have been developing a performance assessment program since 1995. As it has been developed, teachers and students have field tested the rubrics and modified them to reflect the language development of students within an academic setting. The assessment tasks, both formative and summative, and accompanying rubrics are laid out in a program called PALS: Performance Assessment for Language Students. We invite teachers, students, and parents to become familiar with the rubrics and to use them as they deem appropriate. FCPS must be cited whenever these rubrics are used.

See complete profile Working With Evernote for iPad I haven’t been an Evernote user for a long time. I remember tried this popular service many months ago for the first time and while I was impressed by the tons of features it offered, I was seriously disappointed by the official Mac client. It didn’t feel native to me, and the UI was a mess. But I’ve got an iPad, and I heard the optimized version of Evernote for the new device was worth checking out. Evernote on the iPad is very good. For those who don’t know, the purpose of Evernote is that of allowing you to build your own digital scrapbook made of notes, pictures, links, sounds, whatever. First of all, let me say this straight up: it could be a lot better. Even with the feature set cut half due to deadlines and annoying bugs, this app is changing the way I work. Anyway, I can write posts in Evernote, take screenshots and attach them to another note, sync and publish the post from Evernote on the Mac. So as you can guess, the application works pretty good for me.

Apps in Education Podcasting In and Out of the Classroom A podcast is typically an audio file that one downloads and listens to. People generally produce podcasts to share ideas, presentations, or music. Typically podcasts are linked from a blog, so "podcasting" is often used to denote audioblogging. Podcasting combines the words "iPod" and "Broadcasting," but you don't need an iPod or a Mac to produce, or listen to, a podcast. (There are also video podcasts (vidcasts) and Photo podcasts (photocasts), so the definition of a podcast is evolving.) Podcasting is useful for recording a teacher’s lesson or a student conversation. Tools to Record Audio In podcasting, the producer first records the audio. The podcast file type is very important. Keep in mind that when recording audio the podcast producer often wants a higher quality file format than MP3. Here are some ways you can record audio: iPad/iPod/iPhone - Use any of these as a recording device. VoiceThread for Podcasting To Get Started, go to Voicethread.com. VoiceThread Tutorial

Instructional Technology - iPods in the Classroom Project This year, through grants, our district has been able to expand our iPods in the Classroom Project for a second year and to more classroom teachers. We held a full day professional development session for these teachers, facilitated by Tony Vincent, world renouned educator and handheld expert. As a result of the training, the teachers each received an iPod and a voice recorder, and the knowhow to implement a project in their classrooms. We had 24 teachers from all across the district participate, who together impact more than 1000 students. Music teachers, classroom teachers, language teachers, history teachers. This webpage is a product of this day, and the lesson plans that came from the teachers as they went back to their classrooms and planned on how to impact the students in their areas. Now, including the Technology Cadre Members and Lab Coordinators, each school has at least 6 iPods at their school for classroom use with students.

Classroom iPod touches & iPads: Dos and Don'ts Do delete content. Since you are mirroring the computer's iTunes Library onto the iPods, deleting items from iTunes will delete them from the iPods. After you no longer have a need for a podcast, video, or audiobook, delete it so it is not taking up room and cluttering up the iPods. Chances are you want to use this content with a future class. If it's something you will use again, drag and drop it into a folder on your desktop. You can drag and drop it back into iTunes for the next time you want it synced to iPods. Do configure the Music app for easy access to playlists and podcasts.
