Secret Worlds: The Universe Within - Interactive Java Tutorial Secret Worlds: The Universe Within View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons. Once the tutorial has completely downloaded, a set of the arrows will appear that allow the user to increase or decrease the view magnitude in Manual mode. Notice how each picture is actually an image of something that is 10 times bigger or smaller than the one preceding or following it. Earth = 12.76 x 10+6 = 12,760,000 meters wide (12.76 million meters) Plant Cell = 12.76 x 10-6 = 0.00001276 meters wide (12.76 millionths of a meter) Contributing Authors David A.
Elementary Language Arts Teachers throughout the Escambia County School District want to open doors for today's students to become happy, successful citizens of our community. I can think of no better way to facilitate that process than to help children understand the power of words! Whether they be in written or spoken form, the language arts are essential to understanding and participating in the world around us. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing enable us to move from ignorant to knowledgeable while becoming confident in our abilities to make a difference in this world. By integrating the language arts into all areas of the curriculum, elementary teachers seek to build a foundation for better self-expression and harmony in interpersonal relations, as well as academic pursuits. Let’s face it, listening, reading, writing, and speaking are involved in every subject we teach!

However, during a longer lesson, there should be significant time for students to practice with the skill, not just listen to the teacher. A typical mini-lesson will include: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Edvoices | Bloggers committed to improving public education in America Using an iPad as an alternative to an interactive whiteboard With more and more schools (and teachers) getting iPads, I’m increasingly being asked how a teacher can hook up their iPad to their interactive whiteboard. There are several ways to use your iPad. The first is as a way to control your computer, and the other two involve connecting your computer directly to the projector, removing the IWB from the equation. None of these methods let you connect your iPad to your IWB. That’s not possible right now. 1. I’ve written about Splashtop Remote in the past. The way the Splashtop app works is that when you connect to the PC, the PC’s screen is mirrored on your iPad’s screen. Control of the computer isn’t perfect. The Splashtop app is only £1.49 on the UK app store, and the client software is free, so it’s not an expensive gamble. 2. A simple way to display the contents of your iPad screen to a class is to buy a VGA adaptor and connect the iPad directly to a projector in exactly the same way you’d connect a laptop. 3. Other Links
