Students will select a role such as a journalist, history detective, or author and will record their reflections through genres such as poetry, interviews, stories, and plays. After obtaining parental approval for students to be videotaped, DVD copies of the student¡¦s performances will be shared with colleagues. Accessible Interface for Watching YouTube Videos This site provides a simple, accessible interface to search for and watch YouTube videos. Accessible Interface for YouTube This site provides an accessible interface to search YouTube videos without all the clutter of YouTube's website. Attaching Files to Emails for turning in Assignments This lesson plan is based on the reality that students may not understand the attachment process for emails, etc. The students will learn to use email and attachments to send lessons, papers, and assignments to the teacher for easy access, reduced paper/ink and 24/7 capabilities. Cmap Tools (Español) Software gratuito muy amigable y fácil de utilizar. El software fue diseñado con el objeto de apoyar la construcción de modelos de conocimiento representados en forma de “Mapas Conceptuales”, pero también se pueden elaborar con él “Telarañas”, “Mapas de Ideas” y “Diagramas Causa-Efecto”.Las principales características de este programa son: Entorno de trabajo sencillo; ventana de estilos (Formato/Estilos) que facilita las tareas; sistema de conceptos que se pueden ilustrar con símbolos, imágenes, colores, formas, sombras, fuentes y estilos; conceptos que se vinculan fácilmente mediante enlaces; relaciones que se explican con un texto en los enlaces; textos en los que se pueden cambiar automáticamente de minúscula a mayúscula y viceversa; y conceptos que se pueden cambiar de posición sin romper los enlaces, solo se necesita arrastrarlos u organizarlos automáticamente.En el sitio Web del “Institute for Human and Machine Cognition” se ofrece, en español, un manual de ayuda muy completo y navegable en el que se muestra gráficamente cada uno de los pasos a realizar para construir un Mapa Conceptual básico (utilizar CmapTools, crear un Cmap, adicionar un concepto, crear proposición desde un concepto, crear proposiciones con conceptos existentes, guardar un Cmap, abrir un Cmap, imprimir un Cmap), además de otras funciones avanzadas. Diet Coda App for iPad 'What happens when you take the power of Coda, our Mac OS X web code editor, and crunch it down into a powerful, feature-packed iPad package? Introducing Diet Coda, the best way to make quick edits to your websites on the go.A while ago, we were going on vacation, and facing a difficult question: do we take the MacBook, or the iPad? 95% of what we needed was on the iPad, and it felt right to travel light. But what if we needed to fix or post something on our website? We'd be straight out of luck. So, the Macbook was packed. And work on Diet Coda begun.Now, we've made a powerful, feature-packed web editor with a easy-to-use, enjoyable touch interface. Now, we can travel with the iPad and know that we have the tools necessary to do our job. And thanks to AirPreview, now we can put our iPad to great use while it's sitting on our desk at work and we're coding in Coda. Now, we've changed everything.WHAT DOES IT DO?✔ Remote-Only Editing Edit documents right on your server or staging server.✔ Powerful FTP and SFTP File Management Open, rename, modify, change permissions, the works.✔ Sites Quickly get to work on your servers.✔ Syntax Highlighting HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, more to come.✔ Revolutionary Super-Loupe Positioning the cursor in iOS isn't fun. We've changed that forever.✔ Contextual Keyboard The right special characters at the right time.✔ Clips Insert chunks of code with a single tap.✔ Find and Replace Including our ground-breaking "Wildcard" token✔ Built-In Terminal The power of Prompt built-in.

This presentation describes prerequisites to produce an Engine for virtual learning which main objectives is create new learning approach according to Predictable and Unpredictable Events. What tools will learners use? What standards will apply? What new learning approaches may result as a function of the proposed engine? These are the scope of our proposal.To understand the wide scope where the proposed engine applies we describe three scenarios: 1. Virtual Tutor where Simulation is used to trigger iterative interactions and create required environment for virtual learning. 2. Scenario for Robot handling where number and types of semantic rules are defined according to cumulated knowledge acquired by performing more serious games. 3. Scenario to predict how the particle is produced and how it decays within the Standard Model[1]. The proposed scenario is composed of a set of predefined messages exchanged between LHC and control stations which pilot its mission in measurement of Proton-proton collisions according to predictable events like how the particle is made in the LHC and how it disintegrates into other, more familiar particles as soon as it is created. We propose a new standard to produce a universal engine: SPDF (Standard Process Description Format) which consists of two parts: a. message structured-data part (including semantics) and,b. process description part (with higher level of semantics).

You embed the data and formatting parameters in an HTTP request, and Google returns a PNG image of the chart. Many types of charts are supported, and by making the request into an image tag you can simply include the chart in a webpage. You can embed these charts on your web page, or download the image for local or offline use. LucidChart - Collaborative Diagramming LucidChart is a web-based, collaborative flowcharting and diagramming application. It can be used at all levels of education to create flowcharts, network diagrams, UML diagrams, mind maps, graphic organizers and much more. In addition, it is ideal for group projects since multiple students can access the document and make changes simultaneously, with changes merged and synced immediately.Free educational accounts can be requested. M.I.T. App Inventor With this tool from M.I.T., the user can create an app for an Android device without knowing how to program. Development is through the manipulation of colorful shapes representing variables and objects as well as decision-making and repetition structures.
