Educational Resources From Home

Learning at Home w/ YouTube 

There are so many sites out there that are dedicated to learning and teaching from home. These sites are used and appreciated more now than ever before. After spending a little time looking over our notes, I have found a resource that I feel benefits teachers and students. 

YouTube has created a cool online resource called Learn@Home. Partnering with learning creators, YouTube can bring resources and fun activites to families to participate in right from their living rooms. The resource also comes in handing for teachers to use as assignments. One of the resources YouTube is helping produce is called The Body Coach TV. 

Monday through Friday at 9 am, a YouTuber name Joe puts a live workout class called PE With Joe. 



Joe is very creative and funny - he is great for young kids and their families. This recourse is great for educators who teach PE. Teachers can have their students tune in to PE With Joe Monday through Friday to participate in these home workouts. My brother Bryce, who is a PE teacher in Virginia Beach, has his students do home workouts and log what they did online for him to check. This could be done with this YouTube channel. I find the fact that these are indoor workouts very cool because students can do them inside on a rainy day.

    I see a whole series using all your new found tech skills and the football players from SU helping kids have fun getting into shape or improving their physical and mental fitness, even some tips on healthy eating and snacks that are good for you.

Learning From Home Challenge Part 3

More with IXL Last week I took a look at using IXL as an online learning tool for students while at home. This week, I decided to dive a little deeper into this online resource, by taking a look at the tool through the eyes of a teacher buddy who is currently using it for his Algebra I classes.  Andrew Rhoman is an Algebra I teacher at  Tallwood High School  in Virginia Beach, Va. I had the pleasure of working with him during my 3 years as a Special Education teacher at Tallwood.  Around this time of the school year, Mr. Rhoman likes to revisit old material to help prep his students for the SOL (he couldnt really give me specifics on what the SOL situation is looking like right now). He prefers to use IXL to help prepare his students for the Algebra I SOL test.   So how does he do this? Each day, Mr. Rhoman assigns his students a different  IXL skill to practice. On Google Classroom he will post the skill that he wants the students to c...

Screen Capturing & Video Messaging

FYI - I am currently using a loaner computer due to my regular computer shutting down on me. While making my video, I discovered that the microphone on this loaner computer is busted. I apologized for this. I have to contact the Help Desk Monday morning to see if i can get another loaner computer sent to me. Screencastif y is a pretty cool tool to use for video messages. It's quick and easy to use. It is very Google friendly, which makes it easy for users to upload their videos straight to Google Classroom. Screen capturing tools could easily be the most effective support tool for teaching and learning during this time of online learning - in my opinion. Students learn better when they see teachers delivering the instructions. The screen capturing tools allow student's to pause and rewind in order to better grasp the information. I can see how teachers could us tools like Screencastify to teach their student's. Teacher's can record themselves teaching a lesson rig...

Resources for Learning From Home - Using IXL Learning from home in full-swing. Teachers are using different online resources to continue educating their students - posting assignments and lessons. Students are at home, using their laptops, Ipads, or cell phones to complete their assignments online. One online resource that teachers use to help their students in the area of math is IXL . For my blog, I focused on using IXL for math assignments. IXL is a resource teachers use to provide their students with assignments to do from the comforts of their living room. This program can be used in many different ways. I wanted to focus on finding an online resource tool that allows teachers to keep up with their student's progress, and gives them the ability to adapt their lessons based on the data they collect from the online results. When talking about teaching and learning online, I think IXL is a great a way for teachers to keep up with student progress, and for students to ke...
