Tech Tip #18- Sharpening Your Searching Skills!
One of the more frequent questions and discussions that I engage in with teachers is how to teach students to become better at searching. Lets face it, searching is a skill that is developed. This week I came across a new to me site published by Google that posts a question a day in which the answer can be found by searching. A Google A Day !Google has not only generated a searchable question, but when you click on the "show answer" option, it actually guides you through the steps to successfully reach the correct answer. A great way to explain searching to your students and actually get to practice some of those searching strategies. The "Advanced search" option is ...

Tech Tip #16:Learn Anything, Anytime, Anywhere- Using iTunes U to Access Information
Most of us use iTunes simply to manage and organize our
media files, such as music, video, and maybe even a podcast or two. However,
many Universities and schools have created an iTunes U page where they are
providing their students, and in many cases, the public with free educational
content.
To access iTunes U, simply launch iTunes on your iDevice or on your computer. Navigate
to the iTunes store, and click on the iTunesU menu.
Now that we have iTunesU open, we can search for content.
Let’s just say we are doing a unit on the periodic table of elements in a
Science class. Let’s open the “Power Search” feature in iTunes.
Let’s set the parameters ...
