Welcome back to the Roundup! First, I'd like to wish all the moms out there (mine especially!) a very happy mother's day! Second, let's start this week's Roundup with Michele Molnar at Education Week who has a new report on "Google's 'Classroom' Learning Management System." The application will allow teachers to easily collect assignments, provide feedback, make announcements, and more! Check it out!
Jordan Shapiro at Mind/Shift has a new article entitled, "Math, Science, History: Games Break Boundaries Between Subjects." In this post (which is part 3 of Mind/Shift's Guide to Games & Learning) Shapiro discusses how teachers can use game-based lessons to embrace holistic learning and bring various content areas together, helping students to see beyond traditional subject-area boundaries.
Here are a few of the great resources from FT4T this week:
Next up, Katie Lepi at Edudemic has an excellent infographic and analysis on "Keeping Students Safe Online." Lepi opens with some statistics (many of which are troubling) about students' behavior online. She then goes on to offer strategies and tips for helping keep kids safe, and shares a great infographic as well.
Here are a few new resources from this week on ET&ML
If you're a Twitter fan like myself, you've probably seen an occasional (or often) twitter Q&A discussion taking place. Maybe you've even wondered how you could launch your own Q&A session about a topic that you are interested in. If that's the case, check out Lisa Nielsen's excellent new post on "How to Host a Q&A Twitter Chat."
Finally, here a few of EdReach's new podcasts!
