Gooru Learning

Published in All Grades, Professional on February 22, 2012

My friend, Joe Garreck, pointed out a fledgling project that looks interesting. The site describes itself: “Gooru is an online study tool that allows you to explore and study over 2,600 standards-aligned and personalized study guides. Study guides cover fifth grade through high school math and science topics, and resources include digital textbooks, animations, instructor videos and more. All resources are vetted and organized by teachers or Gooru’s content experts, so you don’t have to sort through the mess of subpar educational resources available online yourself. ” I found a fact sheet that gets to the point that was more helpful than the site itself, so I’ll link to that first. Just lop off the url to visit the actual home page.

Virtual Piano

Published in All Grades, Other on February 17, 2012

When researching if iPads were at all compatible with interactive whiteboards, I found this little distraction – a virtual piano! Even though many have accepted the inevitable with Flash, this will still work on computers, iwb’s and the non-iPad tablets. You can even open the piano in its own window and use a mouse, a tap or a keystroke to learn to play scales. You may want to have some ear buds ready for the little musicians – it’s going to get noisy in the lab today. Don’t forget to check out the other excellent music resources the site offers.

EarthSky.org’s “Tonight”

Published in All Grades, Professional, Science on February 14, 2012

Red Deer teacher, Bryan Burley, reminded me of EarthSky’s “Tonight” page which shows what the current night sky will look like. If you’re familiar with the site, you’ll appreciate the quality and quantity of resources offered relating to all things science. But then, as Bryan points out – there is a link to the right called Tonight, which describes not only what the sky holds this evening but you and your students can plan out your evenings for the next few weeks!
