Lesson Plan Central - Thousands of Free Lesson Plans, Worksheets, WebQuests How Tech Will Transform the Traditional Classroom Ben Jackson is a writer and app developer living in Brooklyn, NY. He likes clean typography, dirty language, strong coffee, apple pie and comfortable chairs, and he writes about his obsessions at 90WPM. As the post-PC era moves from interesting theory to cold, hard reality, one of the most pressing questions is: How can we use tablets, and especially the iPad, to help people learn? Most of the focus has been on ebooks replacing textbooks, a trend fueled by Apple’s recent updates to iBooks. Plus, the new iPad is now the first tablet with a retina screen, making reading and watching multimedia on the device even more enjoyable. But technology is only as good as the system it’s applied to. Not Just a Textbook The iPad (not to mention the iPhone and iPod touch) is a personal, mobile computer capable of performing tasks unthinkable 10 years ago on a high-end desktop. For starters, the device features an incredibly natural user interface. Low-Budget Alternatives How to Do an iPad Pilot

Wire Side Chat: Historical Fishwrap uses newspaper reproductions to teach history. Few people think of todays newspapers as tomorrows history books. But two history teachers have compiled reproductions of newspapers front pages to help students get a snapshot of events as they were reported. Included: Ways to use the newspaper reproductions in class. Two high-school history teachers -- one retired one still teaching -- have developed lessons using reproductions of old newspapers through a program called Historical Fishwrap (fish wrap is an old expression for a used newspaper). Students can learn about World War II rationing, the Great Depression, and other historical events the same way their grandparents did --maybe even by reading the same newspapers. Kenneth Molzahn, a retired teacher and one of the founders of Historical Fishwrap, said he is finding that even in this digital age, students still enjoy the authenticity of a period newspaper. Education World: How did you come up with the name Historical Fishwrap? EW: How did you develop this idea? Article by Ellen R.

Top 10 Sites for Educational Games There's no denying the appeal that online games have on kids. While this might come w/ a negative stigma there are a lot of online educational games that can be found to not only enhance the joy of learning but strengthen skill sets as well. That being said I've decided to create a list of my favorite educational gaming sites on the web. Top 10 Sites for Educational Games Funbrain - One of the most popular educational gaming sites around. Heart of the Heartland « Ted Landphair’s America The United States is finally getting around to building a memorial to Ike: Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Kansas lad who became one of our greatest heroes and most popular presidents. But there’s a problem. It’s the Kansas part, even though Eisenhower said, in a 1945 speech in his hometown after leading Allied forces to victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, “The proudest thing that I can say today is that I’m from Abilene.” According to the Eisenhower Memorial design, a statue of Ike as a Kansas country boy would appear somewhere in these trees. Some Eisenhower descendants and art critics complain that the design of the planned memorial, by modernist architect Frank Gehry, portrays Ike as a country bumpkin — a “barefoot boy from Kansas” — while relegating his distinguished military and presidential leadership to a row of background tapestries. Poor Kansas. Kansas is smack in the middle of America, all right. Only it wasn’t jingling much anymore. They are decently buried . . . But towns die
