THE ‘ONE MINUTE PAPER’ gnowledge.com

My Gnowledge Test

Google form

Useful tool to create quick starting or closing test. I can set students a time limit and add progress bar at the bottom so they can see how much they have left plus I can press no more accepting responses on the page and stop students from answering.  

sodium hydroxide + aluminium foil reaction

I have used my smartphone to record the video of sodium hydroxide and aluminium foil reaction. I have Magisto app that provides a free automatic video editing service for amateurs. It allows me to add frame, animation, title, music as a background and its take minutes to crate video.  

The only down site is the fact that you cannot save it onto your gallery without paying for this but you can share this straight form your mobile on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc.

Toondoo it is a great tool I could use to create for example laboratory safety rules as it allows me to add picture and the text which makes it more interested for student. With Toondoo I can make boring stuff engaging.

Pinterest  Pinterest it is a great on-line tool which allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections.

As teachers we can use Pinterest in education to suggest to students reading materials, encourage participation, display students work e.g. in science posters or videos, find creative on-line field trips ideas, pump up science lessons with amazing experiments.

By using pinboards we can encourage students to explore around a topic, rather than be presented with a single definition.

Student can also create their own pinboards with given topic and create discussion and brainstorming ideas. We can encourage them to create pinboard with revision materials.

We can also share photos of science fair projects with a description of the project so parents can see what was on display and be involved. 

 Pinterest boards can be a great way to collaborate with other teachers from all over the world.  We could share ideas and resources.

On the other hand as teachers we have to check the content of the page linked to our images making sure that it is suitable for our students.
