Educreations For Assessment Once again I am amazed at how well students can perform on a homework assessment, but when asked to explain the process for solving a problem, they struggle. The Situation: WHAT THE STUDENTS WERE INSTRUCTED TO CREATE We finally found something that will work for us. We created an account that all students can use to upload their content. We now have all of our student Educreations located in one area on the web. Each student's creation has an web URL so that it can be shared via email by the instructor after evaluating. This really opens some doors for us as we have tried to enhance student's understanding of apps that we previously used.
Appar 100-i-topp inför läsåret 13/14 Nu är det snart dags att starta ett nytt läsår med nya möjligheter, nya tankar och idéer och visioner om hur detta läsår kommer att bli. Det har kommit en del nya appar… flödet är stort och ibland kan det vara svårt att se skogen för alla träd, men jag har försökt välja ut mina 100 favoritappar; både gamla och nya som jag tror på (just idag, imorgon kan det ha kommit något ännu bättre;) Det är svårt att kategorisera apparna eftersom de ofta passar i fler än en kategori, jag har ändå valt att bara ta med dem i en kategori; så för säkerhets skull-titta igenom alla kategorier även om du inte hade tänkt det. Det kan gömma sig en godbit där du minst anar det. Hoppas du hittar appar som du inte sett eller appar som du laddat ner men glömt av. Är du intresserad av en appgenomgång på din förskola/skola?
