Welcome to Teaching with Tech! Over the years I have used multiple formats for my tech tips, blogs, etc., this year I'm going to be using Google Sites for my communication tool. If you haven't used the updated version of Google Sites, check out the resources to the right.
The October '17 edition of Teaching with Tech includes Google Sites resources, going and staying Google help, video in the classroom best practices, and information on the instructional planning report in STAR.
Enjoy!

Copyright Reminder and Tools to Help
Rules for using "Media in the Face-to-Face Classroom" is defined in Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act. FAQ -Lubguides.uta.edu
As a classroom teacher, you may show part or all of a video if it's...
- a "regular part of systematic instructional activities"
- in a nonprofit educational institution
- in a classroom or "similar place devoted to instruction"
- the copy used must be lawfully made
- Instructional activity must be taking place.
So, what does this mean?
If you are showing a video in class...
- Work with your LMS to make sure your copy is legally made or can be legally shared (youtube, etc.).
- The video and/or video clip should directly relate to your instruction, only watching the portion that directly connects to your instruction.
- There should be instructional activity taking place with the video or video clip.
Tools to Help

EdPuzzle is an awesome FREE tool that allows you to upload or connect a video (YouTube, etc.) and then add in stopping points, multiple choice questions, or open ended questions. This is a great tool for flipping the classroom and creating a space to document understanding.
EdPuzzle Help Center for Teachers
Similar to EdPuzzle, this tool (for students 13+) allows you to take a video and add multiple choice questions, open answer questions, discussion prompts, and additional resources to your lesson.
Kahoot is a game-based question and answer tool that many of you use. You also can add clips of videos into a question.

Digging into Data with Tech

Now that we have finished with our Star fall screener, there are numerous reports that you can run. Today I would like to spotlight the Instructional Planning Report. This report provides teachers with a list of suggested skills for class/group or student instruction. This is an excellent report to use along with your formative and summative assessments to identify standards aligned skill needs of your students.
