Teacher Tuesday: StoryCove - A World of Stories

Happy Tuesday! Here is a great site for teachers and parents to visit with kids of all ages, Story Cove - A World of Stories. Story Cove folktales come from a variety of cultures and places. They share timeless values and simple, universal lessons.

The Story Cove format enables children, families and teachers to explore these stories in a variety of ways. As a result, each child is able to develop a more personal understanding of a story while learning about the world.

Children will enjoy watching the Movies and exploring the activities and games that are linked to that story.

Activities are designed for one-on-one, personal play with interactive puzzles, music fun and hidden pictures.

Lesson Plans extend the story elements to explore the original story with projects and activities that require interaction with adults or other members of the family away from the PC.

Registration is required to access all the features on this wonderful site, but registration is FREE, have fun exploring!

Teacher Tuesday: Podcasting in Education Made Simple

I ran across this great presentation by Andi Kenuam. Andi walks viewers (other teachers and educators)through the nuts and bolts of podcasting in education. In this presentation, she covers the who, what, why, and how of podcasting in education. I found the presentation very insightful and really easy to understand, I can't wait to try it out next year when school starts again. Thanks Andi!!
