Educator Friendly Digital Bulletin Board

 

You may be an educator and a Pinterest fan trying to bring the two worlds together. Though still in beta, Learnist may be the site for you. 

 

T.H.E. Journal recently wrote Learnist's usability for educators is in the capability to "order materials on the boards, allowing teachers to show information from most to least important, or to create lessons with sequential steps." 

 

Mindshift says "the site's 'learning boards' look quite a bit like Facebook's timeline feature and are a collision between DIY and education, and a professional development summer camp."

  

'Learnings' are the web pages one creates on the site containing posts of content about your topic from around the web. The content includes slideshare slides, ebooks, maps and videos, which makes it a bit more robust than Pinterest in that the content is on the Learnings page and students can view the information without having to follow links. Like Pinterest, you can share, like, and add your questions and comments.

LessonCast

 

LessonCast wants to transform professional development. 

 

The company defines LessonCast as "LES-son-kast (n.) A lessoncast is a spreadable example of the what, why, and how of effective teaching. Lessoncasts feature one lesson idea or management strategy in 2 minutes 30 seconds or less. Lessoncasts include teacher-created downloadable resources to help implement ideas. A lessoncast is NOT a lesson plan, but rather a quick how-to overview meant to inspire and support teachers looking for effective resources."

 

Teacher contributors use screen capture technology, built into the site, to record and publish their lessoncast. A lessoncast shares the most important information required to effectively implement an instructional practice in the classroom.
