    Keybr and BBC Schools Dance Mat Typing

    Here are two sites that support the learning of keyboarding skills. Keybr is a web 2.0 application that gives students a choice of three levels to choose from for a quick practice session. BBC Schools Dance Mat Typing resembles commercial products for teaching typing to young people, at the low-low price of free! It has several levels, instructs students in finger placement, and provides entertaining feedback during lessons to hold students' interests. Use the first for quick practice and the second for initital instruction. Use them both to have your students typing 50 wpm in no time. keyboarding.mp4 video/mp4 http://www.keybr.com/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/ Subscribe to Techbytes

This episode is for you. We'll also go to Flickr, a photo sharing site, and use their tools to specifically find photos that suit your needs. Lastly, we'll examine the world map at Flickr.

    The Student Community: student blogs are amazing. Are you using them?

    This is the first in a series of podcasts about student blogs and, in particular, our Student Community. While the nuts and bolts of using the community are best viewed in the tutorials found here, this Tech Bytes series will focus more on tips and tricks, as well as best practices. Episode 1 of this series explains what blogs are and why they're important in education. studentblogs.mp3 audio/mp3  I've created some notes to go along with this episode: StudentblogsView SlideShare presentation or Upload your own. (tags: blog blogs) -------------------------------- Check out: http://www.walkupsway.com/fyelearningpyramid.htm Notice that "discussion" has a 50% retention rate, only to be eclipsed by doing and teaching others. Of course, on the student blogs, chances are that the students are doing because they are posting work that they, in fact, did. And aren't they, in a sense, teaching others?
