Students Sharing Content with Teacher using Smart Phones or Tablets

Posted on July 6, 2013 by Alice Keeler

Many students have cell phones that can take pictures and shoot video. If you have students using the cell phones for collecting media, how do they share the pictures and video with you? One way is for them to email the pictures directly to a class picasa album. Students can also email the pictures directly…

Students Making Screenshots

Posted on July 6, 2013July 6, 2013 by Alice Keeler

In my quest to be paperless, I ask my students to keep a digital portfolio where they post all of their work. The problem is how to capture work completed by students on the web or on tablets. I address this problem by asking students to take screenshots of the work they are doing and…

Golden Keyboard Shortcuts

Posted on June 1, 2013June 9, 2021 by Alice Keeler

If I can give any educator a piece of advice, it is to learn some keyboard shortcuts. The faster you are with keyboard shortcuts the more productive you are. We spend so much time planning, grading, creating, interacting with students, doing yard duty, meeting with parents, attending meetings, cleaning our own whiteboards, etc… we need…

Infographic Technique: Text that Pops

Posted on May 17, 2013May 19, 2013 by Alice Keeler

Currently I am into creating infographics using Google Drawing.  This is an activity that students can do that is fun, forces them to think critically about how to best represent information, is collaborative, is free and does not require an additional account beyond their Google account. Previously I blogged about how to create opacity with…

Images Make Things Better

Posted on May 5, 2013June 4, 2021 by Alice Keeler

A picture is worth 1000 words right?  Inserting images into our webpages and documents helps the information be more interesting and important. On the web everything has an “address.”  Each element that loads on a webpage is saved on a server somewhere and there needs to be directions to tell the computer where to go…

Teaching on a Mac with Mountain Lion

Posted on December 9, 2012 by Alice Keeler

I am using a Macbook Pro most of the time.  I actually like the notification features on Mountain Lion.  Shows me when people mention me on Twitter or Facebook or when I have tasks due from my producteev todo list.  However, when I am teaching I do not want the notifications to show. Hold down…

Table Properties in a Google Doc

Posted on December 9, 2012 by Alice Keeler

Copying and pasting from one location to another does not always work out.  The screenshot above is a copy and paste from a table in Moodle into a Google Doc. To fix this you will want to right click on the table and choose table properties. Under table properties you are able to change the…

Hall Davidson Demo Slam Custom Wikipedia Book

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Alice Keeler

This morning at the eLearning Strategies Symposium Hall Davidson was presenting on ways to use video.  Before the session he really quickly did a demo slam of how to make your own custom Wikipedia book. So I’m not 100% sure how I feel about this. I have burned into my brain from the English teachers…

PhotoBucket – Quickly Add Pictures to Your Student Resources

Posted on November 30, 2012 by Alice Keeler

When using Web 2.0 tools such as a wiki, survey monkey or other places where I want to create resources for my students to use in class I frequently want to add images.  Some places only allow me to upload my images via URL.  This means I have to host them somewhere such as flickr…

A little HTML for teachers

Posted on November 30, 2012September 6, 2014 by Alice Keeler

I have found that knowing a little bit of HTML is wildly useful.  One might be surprised at all of the Web 2.0 applications that allow you to insert HTML tags.  I always recommend to fellow teachers to learn a few basic tags.  Learning these tags will help them to be more productive and to…

Document Camera Use

Posted on May 19, 2012 by Alice Keeler

Recently I have gotten an iPevo document camera. What I really like about it is that it is a nice little document camera that is inexpensive ($69) and highly portable, fits in my purse. I found that if I plug in the camera via USB I am able to use the iPevo as my webcam…

Download a QR reader

Posted on January 2, 2012January 2, 2012 by Alice Keeler

What is a QR code? Surprisingly many people still are unsure and don’t use them. A July 2011 article said 35% of Americans own a smartphone and I am guessing that after this last Christmas season that number just got significantly higher.  As a high school teacher in an inner city school I am amazed…

Mac Tip: Spacebar to Preview

Posted on November 30, 2011July 12, 2014 by Alice Keeler

One trick on my MAC that I use quite frequently is to hit the spacebar to preview a file.  I have lots of screenshots (command+shift+4) on my desktop and they all say screenshot so it is challenging to know which one I want.  I have PowerPoints, text documents, PDF’s, videos, etc… and I tend to…
