Common core teachers should consider themselves and everyone a publisher and writer. Students can publish digitally using online book creators to let the tea her know what they have learned. Teachers can use open source material from reputable site to create an online chapter for class use and reading assignments. Most teens do everything on the tablet or smart phone if available. It has been found that most students in k-12 are set for environment as a digital learning. So the content needs to be changed from written books used in class to the flipped classroom and digital learning text books at home. Teacher use what use to be home work in class and add with digital media, e-textbook. <br />
<br />
The questions: why why is this working? Are text books dead? A e-textbook should not just be a textbook that is a converted published text book to a PDF. A digital text book should be adaptive. It should be interactive! Teachers can take written text and add other content to it like videos, interactive online game links etc. then they could publish it onto a certain platform mostly iPad ibooks is the easiest to use for low tech and limited time. Now lets look at the teacher do they have time, skill, and the digital ability? Should it be expected? <br />
<br />
Places to help shared book is a good place and is among the first to take licensed content, edited and buy only chapters you want from a variety of books, Hartcourt, Pearson etc. can mash all areas of textbook you only want. <br />
CHALLENGES<br />
Who is paying for it?<br />
Data privacy<br />
extra it burden<br />
the teach digital divide. <br />
<br />
OPEN SOURCE CONTENT <br />
It can help with the cost however content must be checked. Community based content has been seen to be better especially in higher Ed where a high area of professors write much of their own content. Has been moving down to even middle schools. This has been opening the door to copyright issues where teachers copy paste due to time to create a textbook. So always make sure it is a open source labeled content you are using and always cite even for classroom use. <br />
<br />
DEVICE strategy: BYOD, locked to one device ie student bring or issued or no strategy.<br />
Things to think about digital divide do the teachers know how to use each device. Best scenario pick a platform ie apple, Lenovo tablet etc. give a 1/2 year to year for teachers to learn and play with. Then open it to students. One thing always brought up kids will text, look up stuff. Well they do that already pass notes etc. don't worry about it but if caught have an action in place one teacher if they catch them set it on your desk and hand them ie paper to write on or God forbid a written text book to read from. However DO have them stay busy looking up the topic, interactive textbook, videos, and apps that go with content. If you keep them busy while using the device they will use it. Teach them how to use the device not just play with it. Games are great but limited. If it ends then student ends learning it should be interactive and keep going going onto higher levels or go back to more basic content if student is done it should go into review or if student is not achieving high enough scores. <br />

This is the reality in a gaming environment that relates to kids you start with 0 and move your score up. So have levels students need to master before moving onto anther topic. So you can set your classroom as a multiplayer classroom.<br />
<br />
Check out apetroski.wikispaces.com click Creating The Multiplayer Classroom<br />
<br />
Student centered, individualized, focus on exploration, connected topics, explore/activity/ discuss. Student s can delve into the topic student choice and teacher choice into what needs to be looked at more. Goes great with the common core to delve deeper into a topic from a variety of angles and methods. <br />
<br />
Having students creating roles in the group, quests instead of assignments that build upon one another and really dig into depth into the content. <br />
<br />
Example creating blogs, podcasts, e-book reading etc. each student must create at lease one. However they can add points be doing several at what they are comfortable at, yet still delivering the information they have learned while going deeper into a topic. <br />
<br />
Assessment has changed levels, instead of grade. Passing levels by each level becoming more intense or delving deeper into a topic or the amount of activities and subject matter content increases. How many topics is levels how they compete the levels is up to the student to choose how they complete. So if a student really likes blogging they can do more of those to raise points.<br />

The phone is obsolete. Kids talk less on the phone now. They don't email or watch tv. Kids can even make the phone into a music instrument! Called the ocarina and students can listen to others all over earth playing the phone. The phone, tablet, iPod etc has passed into becoming a tool not just entertainment. <br />
<br />
Cultural ramifications of the iPhone? Augmented reality. Overlaying what is around you artistically, educationally and amusement. Look at word lens app for language classes. Changes Spanish to English by using the camera or reverses it. No it is not a joke app and can be very useful. <br />
<br />
Web 2.0 what is it?<br />
Facebook 2nd most used Web 2.0 after Google. Craigslist is being said to put newspapers out of business. They are not getting money for adds, more adds are posted at Craigslist and now most people check it first. Wikipedia has been found to be very accurate due to group editing things that are inaccurate are corrected quickly. Purpose of Web 2.0 connect people together with likes or searches. <br />
<br />
How does this affect the next generation? Everything is real time now they don't talk on the phone as much, they use APPS. TV isn't as big kids watch on their devices Hulu and Netflix, while doing other things. Privacy is not as a much of an issue with kids why? They are the ego generation they like to talk about themselves, post a video, and tell everyone everything. Looking at funny things are what this generation and up to the 30's want it. <br />
<br />
What do we need to teach? Permanence of the Internet things will be their later in life. Employers will check into you. Credibility is important check your facts and cite information. Teach what is private and what can be posted. They really don't know. It is the educators job to educate and keep up to date with the generation you are teaching and have fun doing it. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RK25kyzlsmM/UWg3bRb98DI/AAAAAAAAAa8/4z2XQheneck/s640/blogger-image-571044599.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RK25kyzlsmM/UWg3bRb98DI/AAAAAAAAAa8/4z2XQheneck/s640/blogger-image-571044599.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EBkFkr17B-U/UWg3XEPe58I/AAAAAAAAAaE/ULflP9lDvvw/s640/blogger-image-27176630.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EBkFkr17B-U/UWg3XEPe58I/AAAAAAAAAaE/ULflP9lDvvw/s640/blogger-image-27176630.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-q42vX2YEKic/UWg3WUyuz4I/AAAAAAAAAZ8/k82GRICKdlQ/s640/blogger-image--1292114754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-q42vX2YEKic/UWg3WUyuz4I/AAAAAAAAAZ8/k82GRICKdlQ/s640/blogger-image--1292114754.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9aT_imLE_K8/UWg3axIidDI/AAAAAAAAAa0/voRgf-BihnE/s640/blogger-image-626458292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9aT_imLE_K8/UWg3axIidDI/AAAAAAAAAa0/voRgf-BihnE/s640/blogger-image-626458292.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jx6Yz43efsk/UWg3Xu-V8gI/AAAAAAAAAaM/lLLa39ZjApQ/s640/blogger-image--447230532.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jx6Yz43efsk/UWg3Xu-V8gI/AAAAAAAAAaM/lLLa39ZjApQ/s640/blogger-image--447230532.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ev8nHJTI6lc/UWg3ZOIZxDI/AAAAAAAAAac/4k_TGjNIYYE/s640/blogger-image-1023533434.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ev8nHJTI6lc/UWg3ZOIZxDI/AAAAAAAAAac/4k_TGjNIYYE/s640/blogger-image-1023533434.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-LVs2ATH1vWo/UWg3YTC714I/AAAAAAAAAaU/ao6tkOXbKTU/s640/blogger-image--1281682866.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-LVs2ATH1vWo/UWg3YTC714I/AAAAAAAAAaU/ao6tkOXbKTU/s640/blogger-image--1281682866.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AzOTfp1LgGM/UWg3aQY9o1I/AAAAAAAAAas/ddGqtpybZY0/s640/blogger-image--1522560049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AzOTfp1LgGM/UWg3aQY9o1I/AAAAAAAAAas/ddGqtpybZY0/s640/blogger-image--1522560049.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5GKssOmJsqE/UWg3b7ai9BI/AAAAAAAAAbE/q_LdxXcUUwA/s640/blogger-image--849630999.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5GKssOmJsqE/UWg3b7ai9BI/AAAAAAAAAbE/q_LdxXcUUwA/s640/blogger-image--849630999.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-18k2w6M-Nx4/UWg3Z1jF1MI/AAAAAAAAAak/bmh4mh_hXHI/s640/blogger-image-226140255.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-18k2w6M-Nx4/UWg3Z1jF1MI/AAAAAAAAAak/bmh4mh_hXHI/s640/blogger-image-226140255.jpg" /></a></div>SPS ART ROOMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03123037092073902571noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1833107921872125914.post-43212942554448385042013-01-29T11:00:00.001-08:002013-01-29T11:00:57.035-08:00Using technology in the art room: ipad , ipod and android laptops<p> </p> <p><font size="4">During this week I decided to do art centers and have technology play a part.

It is becoming common in the work field as a tool so why not allow middle school and high school students use this technology in the classroom. Heck, with education budget cuts this could actually become a free resource. How many free or low cost educational apps are available on the iphone. How many students have these devices in lockers, book bags or maybe at home. Why not instead of telling students to leave them at home, take them away when they have them out we as teachers teach them how to responsibly use them. They are not going away. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I went two years ago to a workshop that one teacher discussed was how the inner city school teacher who “gasp” allowed students to use their smart phones. She set up rules:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">1. place them on airplane mode unless an app needs the 3g </span><span style="font-size: medium;">or wireless. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">2. She could answer it if it rang and no texting while in class.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">3. IF Caught misusing the phone they would loose use of the phone in class for the week . No using it for research, games or projects, like a normal classroom. They got the textbook, pencil and notebook. She had the students write on a large paper what misuse would be. (Oh an internet safety lesson) Examples: no camera use unless for project. She taught about professional uses of facebook and twitter. A computer ethics course. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">She also allowed students to text or e-mail home work. During the year she documented an increase in test score and turned in homework. As for misuse she had non students did not want to loss the privilege and respected the rules they created. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I researched a few article and successful schools that are allowing smart phone use</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Very Recent Article: </span><br />
<h3><a href="http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/2010/10/24/20101024cellphones-school-classroom.html">Schools starting to allow use of digital devices</a></h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35063840/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/t/some-schools-rethink-bans-cell-phones/"><span style="font-size: large;">Some schools rethink ban of cell phones</span></a> Best advice I have read</span><br />
<em>But the American Association of School Administrators itself argues the other side, promoting the use of cell phones in class as “genuine educational tools.”</em> <br />
<em>“Handheld devices like cell phones, iPhones, BlackBerrys and iTouch are beginning to offer applications that enhance classroom learning by engaging kids to use tools they are constantly using anyway,” Daniel A. Domenech, the association’s executive director, </em><a href="http://www.aasa.org/SchoolAdministratorArticle.aspx?id=6884"><em>wrote in an essay last fall</em></a><em>.</em> <br />
<a href="http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/education/article/Cell-phones-head-to-class-780555.php#ixzz1W6EzG7eA"><span style="font-size: large;">Cell phones head to class</span></a>“<em>The students are expecting immediate answers and, if we don't always have a room full of computers and they do have answers right there in their pockets, it's sad for us to say, ‘I know it's there and you can't (use it),'” Faulkner said. “Some teachers were saying, ‘OK, you can look that up on your phone and I'll stand right here and watch you.'”</em> <br />
<br />
<h3><a href="http://www.convergemag.com/edtech/School-Districts-Lay-Foundation-for-Mobile-Devices.html">School Districts Lay Foundation for Mobile Devices</a></h3><em>Over the past two years, </em><a href="http://www.forsyth.k12.ga.us/forsyth/site/default.asp"><em>Forsyth County Schools</em></a><em> in Cumming, Ga., has slowly allowed some of its 34,000 students to bring their own notebooks, iPhones or other computing tools to school and connect them to the district network.</em> <br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">This after reading numerous articles has to be the best use of available technology I have read about. If you allow students to link with WIFI not the cellular network you can monitor what they can and cannot use. That is what I use in my classroom. I have iphones and ipods using WIFI only and I know the students are only able to get to appropriate sites. Have the student remove the sim card and place it a container labeled with their name if your worried about them usng the cellular network at the end of the day they can put the sim card back in. In my classroom they are old phones that does not have a sim card.</span> </span>KRNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11588359052367918211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1833107921872125914.post-47491097919551157452011-08-20T19:27:00.001-07:002011-08-29T14:49:02.144-07:00My pick ipad back to school appsI just purchased my teen an ipad. Yes, I am cheap so I bought her a apple store certifies refurbish ipad 1st gen. from the apple store but I did go with a 3g network one. I finally decided that the <a href="http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad/wi_fi_3g?mco=MjAzMTE2MTE" target="_blank">ipad 1st gen. fit my budget $399 16GB 3G</a> and had a lot of apps she could use while on the bus ride back to the house or staying afterschool for events. She will be going to high school 45 minutes away, to a private school. So I wanted a portable device that she could use for homework. <br />
After research between android and apple. I liked both but the price won out. I went with a certified refurbished. Due to another supposed refurbished item I bought through amazon.com from a non-certified dealer. After I went to the apple store and they said the item had water damage and the refurbishment was sticking said device in a bag of rice. Luckily it was an amazon.com fulfillment seller and Amazon will accept returns for 30 day after purchase. SO now I go with the company certified refurbished it my cost a little extra $20 –$50 they usually come with a warranty. The ipad 2 has a few newer features but costs for wifi 16GB $499 and 3G 16GB $629. Purchasing the older generation gave me a $230 savings. Well a savings I then put into for apps and data. Otherwise the ipad2 would have cost with educational and fun apps and the $180 for the year data package ($15 a month) closer to $850. Where I spent a total of about $600 including the allotted $$$ for data. I have $30 to spend for the year sitting at Panera drinking a nice refillable coffee, waiting for said teen to finish what ever afterschool activity, maybe even borrow the ipad to surf the web.<br />
<br />

You will get to learn the titles of the paintings, the painter and to recognize the actual paintings in this memory matching game that lets the imagination fly. Each game consists of 4 rounds. In round 1 you match the paintings and learn their titles and the artist names. In round 2 you match the painting to the names of the artists. In round 3 you match the paintings to the title. The final round is all words as you match the titles with the artists. <br>Screenshots</font> <p>iPhone iPad iPod <p> <p><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 1" src="http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/050/Purple/f3/e2/6c/mzl.wqotwbwt.320x480-75.jpg" width="100" height="144"><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 2" src="http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/028/Purple/63/67/ea/mzl.owmgwlvq.320x480-75.jpg" width="98" height="141"><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 3" src="http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/031/Purple/f2/e0/48/mzl.lnlmdjme.320x480-75.jpg" width="100" height="143"><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 4" src="http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/005/Purple/5d/d3/ff/mzl.owblenei.320x480-75.jpg" width="100" height="144"> <p><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 5" src="http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/038/Purple/5e/68/bb/mzl.kxeihhlu.320x480-75.jpg" width="102" height="147"><img alt="iPad Screenshot 4" src="http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/029/Purple/55/d8/59/mzl.sohmjcnj.480x480-75.jpg" width="112" height="149"><img alt="iPad Screenshot 5" src="http://a6.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/039/Purple/cb/ab/c7/mzl.pmfteagt.480x480-75.jpg" width="110" height="147"> <p><font size="4">My next favorite: I have the students take a picture of themselves and then do what they want and print (like a memory stick just plugged into the computer) they love using their photos in projects.</font></p> <h3>Sketch Me!</h3> <h4>Sketch Me! is a simple, fun app that lets you convert your photos into sketches by applying up to six different image effects. <br><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 1" src="http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/002/Purple/09/0d/a9/mzl.pqlcepnp.320x480-75.jpg" width="116" height="174"><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 2" src="http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/055/Purple/c2/e8/3e/mzl.ensnsspg.320x480-75.jpg" width="114" height="171"><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 3" src="http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/015/Purple/76/49/9a/mzl.wotywmpg.320x480-75.jpg" width="117" height="175"></h4> <p><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 4" src="http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/029/Purple/d6/c3/0c/mzl.deozugsb.320x480-75.jpg" width="135" height="202"><img alt="iPhone Screenshot 5" src="http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/058/Purple/71/9d/8f/mzl.xncrtxfu.320x480-75.jpg" width="132" height="199"> <p><font size="4">My favorite video app:<img alt="8mm Vintage Camera" src="http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/051/Purple/a7/be/6b/mzi.tckfyqgs.175x175-75.jpg" width="108" height="108"></font> <h3>8mm Vintage Camera</h3> <h4>By Nexvio Inc</h4> <p><font size="4">I just had to show a video to see why this is so cool!

<span style="font-size: medium;">This year I have been using <a href="http://www.strorylineonline.net/" target="_blank">http://www.strorylineonline.net/</a></span><br />

I used regular folder and they are not big enough. I tried the stapled poster board which fell apart and was bulky to store. </p> <p>What works for me I found the using a 18” by 24” of construction paper folded into a folder. Color coded by grade and decorated by the student. Then laminated for durability, works the best in my classroom.</p> <p>18” by 24” paper folded in 1/2 and bottom folded by 5 inches</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TLumTCHI2FI/AAAAAAAAAFA/NzI7y7VaaNc/s1600-h/SAM_3502%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_3502" border="0" alt="SAM_3502" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TLumTvEcCJI/AAAAAAAAAFE/jsifVh5reWw/SAM_3502_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="333" height="258"></a></p> <p>I place a name tag with the students info. on the inside, for the younger K-2 I put a tag on the outside as well.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TLumTz4pk6I/AAAAAAAAAFI/Qt65GBiSTbU/s1600-h/SAM_3503%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_3503" border="0" alt="SAM_3503" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TLumUUeSzsI/AAAAAAAAAFM/QrXFrQ_cvOc/SAM_3503_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="365" height="282"></a></p> <p>Decorate and Laminate.

I have regular classroom desks in my art room. Folders are color coded by grade and then kept in the desk . I also use them on the drying rack to hold the art work and when dry then the art pieces can be placed back in the folder and go right back into the desk. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TLumVypIJcI/AAAAAAAAAFY/ZmimGiQ2F6s/s1600-h/SAM_3506%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_3506" border="0" alt="SAM_3506" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TLumWBfDh5I/AAAAAAAAAFc/ccU6sl1KcHw/SAM_3506_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TLumW_k7aCI/AAAAAAAAAFg/cqbAG8AQLC4/s1600-h/SAM_3505%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_3505" border="0" alt="SAM_3505" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TLumXHng0FI/AAAAAAAAAFk/eYypYCWts-c/SAM_3505_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a></p> <p>I also use the artsonia.com site.

They are working on landscape paintings and I am not going to get paint out for about 7 min. of work time! The assembly is a good one from our district attorneys office about internet safety etc. I knew they had one from 9-10, well it had to be moved t0 10 – 11 right in the middle of both art classes. </font></p> <p>SO I <font size="4">pulled out one of my lessons, I keep for unexpected surprises. For little kids 15 minutes is a lot of time to get something done and keep them active. For middle school, 15 minutes is enough time for trouble!</font></p> <p><font size="4">Here is a great lesson that is a stand by that I’ve done many times, but I tweeked it with a bit of technology. The kids actually hang these drawing on their lockers! They like them that much.</font></p> <p><font size="4">1 line portrait:</font></p> <p><font size="4">I show them this video</font> : about an artist that drawing using a GPS device. Just watch and see why this captivates a middle school art class!</p> <p> </p> <p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:15671d92-12f0-4a9c-a5d5-118b608907a0" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="b11ae3f9-0bad-4728-be3e-9c7dbdbc57c7" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5iige_biggest-drawing-in-the-world_creation" target="_new"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_8u3F-X0VfFk/TKyWlwqpsfI/AAAAAAAAAE8/rDl7HcFJNCM/video58b0004ef0f8%5B13%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('b11ae3f9-0bad-4728-be3e-9c7dbdbc57c7'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"448\" height=\"252\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x5iige&related=0\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x5iige&related=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"448\" height=\"252\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div></p> <p><font size="4">I LOVE THIS VIDEO! It gets the middle school kids engaged and excited about a simple 1 line contour line portrait they create without picking up the marker. I use to get groans and complaining. Now they get all excited and love the end product! I keep this for a day like today 15 minutes of learning and fun!</font></p> KRNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11588359052367918211noreply@blogger.com0
