Menu Items

This deck is from Yolanda Barker and is meant to be used as an organizing activity. Students are to categorize the foods into appetizer, entree and dessert. A follow up activity would be for students to create a balanced plate based upon discussions about the food groups.

Note: You'll have to choose three column background to make the deck look like it does in the image.

Intro to Incanter

These are my rough notes for an informal Introduction to Incanter presentation I gave at Bay Area Clojure User Group.

What is Incanter

Incanter is a Clojure-based, R-like statistical computing and graphics environment for the JVM.

R is great and is the language/environment of choice for statisticians, scientests and big data people. It is a little quirky as a language and not as common in production.

Upper Lower Case

This deck is from, Jill Ozols, Educational Consultant and iCardSort user.

She writes:

"I have students use this deck for alphabetical order, for matching upper and lowercase, and for 'selecting activities', Some students have a noticeable difference in their scores for selecting, reading and writing. This deck can be used for selecting and reading prior to a writing activity.

ie. find 'a', or what sound does this letter make."

Thanks Jill. I appreciate you sharing your ideas on using iCardSort

Clojure in Silicon Valley: Clojure West Recap and Introduction to Clojure

I'm really getting into Clojure and to meet others and help the community in this area I'm helping to put together a meetup with regular meetings in the peninsula to complement the ones in San Francisco. This is the announcement for an event we are having the week after Clojure West.

See you there.

Online iOS Development Workshop

Get started with iPhone development with this free online workshop.

In this online workshop we'll introduce the process and the tools and build a simple "Hello World" style app using Xcode 4. Then we'll introduce another example small enough to be understood, but advanced enough to introduce important concepts such as, MVC, using a web service, parsing JSON, and working with tableviews and view controllers.

IconALikeIt.com : Icons are an artform unto themselves

If you like icons, and I know you do, I think you'll like Icon A Like It. Its a new webapp I created because I wanted a way to study, learn from others and to share my favorite icons with friends and co-workers.

Circulation Pathway (middle school)

Jim Holland, Educator & Author, from Arlington, TX has provided this deck and science activity for middle school.

In this activity, students sequence the pathway of blood flow through the body by arranging cards in a clockwise sequence. Then, students demonstrate their understanding of oxygen levels in the blood by changing each card’s color according to the amount of oxygen present in each stage.

Instructions:

iSequence Apptivity

This idea and deck come from Lisa Johnson at techchef4u.com. She hopes to use it at various campuses and I'm really excited to hear about someone using iCardSort on a large scale basis.

In her blog post she writes:

iCardSort reviewed in Techchef4u "Hot Apps 4 Brainstorming episode"

In the Techchef4u podcast on Blog Talk Radio educators & App Enthusiasts Lisa Johnson & Yolanda Barker review iPad brainstorming apps Tchart, iBrainstorm, Simplemind+, Stickyboard, Idea Sketch, and iCardSort. iCardSort coverage starts around 24:10 into the show. They give some great ideas on how to use these iPad apps in the classroom.
