Math Podcast's for 6th Graders?

I have recently created a podcast in a graduate class. It was fun to create and I find that it can be very informative if done correctly. However, it was very time consuming. So until I build up a collection of my own podcasts, I am wondering if anyone knows of any good podcasts that are already created form implementation? Also, what ways have you found as the best way to implement a podcast effectively?

Curriculum Mapping

I am a 6th grade teacher in Oklahoma. I am looking for another 6th grade teacher to check out my curriculum mapping for Social Studies and let me know if the content is similar to what you teach, or completely different. I have aligned with the PASS Skills for Oklahoma. My wiki can be found at: http://uturn41.wikispaces.com/Curriculum+Mapping

Recommended Books for Teachers

This blog was originally posted on The Freshman Transition Network.

Here are some great books to consider reading and/or sharing with your students.

Over the years I have been amazed by the number of educators who don't read books related to our field. We recognize the importance of our students reading but then overlook how important it is for us. Perhaps part of the reason is that many books on…

Collaboration Ideas

I am looking for a class to have a book club with. We would have weekly readings. Each student would weekly write a comment and respond to a comment. We are a second grade class and would like to work together with a class close to our age. We also need to be able to communicate in English only sorry.

Please Let Us Know!

We are also looking at a paper airplane project in the Spring.

There are few programs that say 'competence' more than Adobe Photoshop. If a student can accomplish this photo editor, he becomes the go-to guy for technology. He develops a confidence that carries over into so many other skills s/he'll want to use with computers. On my blog, Ask a Tech Teacher, I've itemized some of the favorites among my students, the easiest for a fifth grader to use when they're putting themselves into that… Continue

Creating Life Long Learners

Visit http://www.scholastic.com/kids/stacks and check out any book or author page you'd like. Then write down at least FIVE new things you learned from visiting those pages.

The kids were like, "We can visit ANY author on this page?" and, "We can look at ANY book site on… Continue

New Literacies

I am looking for some advise on how to engage my grade one students in some form of new (non traditional) form of literacy. I am thinking about podcasting and blogging, but I have never tried either before. Any suggestions as to how I can keep it simple for both myself and my 7 year old students?

Teaching students how to comment...

About 1.5 weeks ago I rolled out my class blog (Mr. Lane's Computer Applications/Web 2.0 Blog) as an interactive tool with my 8th grade Web 2.0 technology class (the first few weeks it served, more or less, as a Web 1.0 tool). After working through the layout of the blog, we read together a post, and then I asked them to submit a comment.
