Google Apps for Education

Sat, 2008-03-08 14:20 — Roger Nevin

I setup Google Apps at my school for 2 English classes 3 weeks ago (Feb. 2008).

Google Apps has been great. Students are able to collaborate both with the teacher and with other students for group assignments. Marks are posted on-line. Teacher Calendar is a great organizational tool. I have had no negative comments. I have had other teachers ask me to get their classes on-line. Best part - It’s free.

MP3 players/recorders - a great tool for educators

Sat, 2007-12-29 16:13 — Roger Nevin

For $59   you can purchase a MP3 player that plays podcasts, mp3 files, records podcasts, and displays text from a text file and even shows video. With an MP3 player students can:
• Listen to educational podcasts
• Write and record any assignment (such as a play for English)  which can be played back to the class
• Watch  educational  videos that are preloaded
• Do oral language assignments including language courses (Spanish, French)
• Read a chapter of a book as an assignment
• Listen to teacher's lectures
• Have an electronic copy off all class  assignments
• Save all their assignments (text) to the MP3 Player
