I'm looking for ideas for differentiating my math class. I teach 6th grade general math; the top 20% of math students are placed in accelerated classes. I teach students representing the other 80%.…Continue

"Thanks, Elaine. Looks like authorStream has several functions that go beyond SlideShare. Have you used authorStream yet?"

"One other tool that came to mind is Prezi. Does anyone know if you can record audio with Prezi along the lines of what Toni has described with Keynote??  "

Powerpoint presentations/podcasts

Some of my students have created powerpoint presentations based on their research.  I'd like to be able to share these with families through the web, and I think students would be excited to have their work on the web as well.  As I envision it, the presentation would be recorded with voice commentary so that there would be no video of actual students.  I don't know a lot about the latest technology, so can anyone suggest how I could make this happen?See More

No problem.  Glad to have you as part of our group.  Is there a topic you would like to focus on?

Questions for Collaboration Group:

1)  Have you ever done online collaboration between your class/students and another class/students?

2) If you have done collaborative projects before, please list the topic and a brief description of the project.

Hi Angela - Will do about the posting - everything is on our webinar archive page - http://wiki.nsdl.org/index.php/MiddleSchoolPortal/Webinar_Archive#Universal_Design_for_Learning. I'll post the recording URL tomorrow morning.

Hi Angela - That's great. Go to the Groups tab and then click on the Omnivore's Dilemma group. You'll be "registered." Thanks!

Angela - Let me second Mary's welcome! So glad to see that you joined! Let me give you quick overview of the site - on the main page - the resources that we have developed are on the left - MSP2 Resources box and our blogs. We have lots of events - technology, content, and pedagogy. The archived recordings of the ones we've done so far are in the link - Webinar Archive in the MSP2 Resources box. And we have lots of groups!

It would be great if you go back into your profile and answer two additional questions that we just added - I need help with and I can help with. We want people to be able to search by those parameters.

In addition, we've just started a book club - the fall book is Omnivore's Dilemma - it would be great if you joined in. Welcome! Kim

Hello, Angela,

Welcome to MSP2. We're glad you've joined us, and delighted that you've engaged in one of the conversations already!

I see that you're a math and science teacher. Do you teach in separate math and science classes, or are math and science taught as aspects of an integrated curriculum in your school?

If you haven't had a chance, check out the math and science resource guides. These are quality, standards-based teaching resources either written or collected by expert math and science educators. These guides are also wikis so that the community can contribute and grow the guides.

Again, welcome.

Hi Angela,

Welcome to the MSP2 community! So glad you've joined us.

Have you had a chance to explore the site, yet? You'll find lesson ideas, digital resources for classroom use, and connections to current news items. Look at the left side of the Main page and you'll find Math and Science Resource Guides, Diigo lists, and project blogs to name just a few.

We've had several Tech Talks recently - on Interactive Notebooks, Moodle, and Digital Storytelling. You can get to the recordings of those by clicking on the Web Archive link. You can also see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab.

We're also soon to be adding resources for youth - a series of virtual learning experiences for students. So plenty more to come!

Please send any ideas or feedback you have our way, your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Sarita
