Term 2 2010 CBL Student Booklet




Goodmorning Everyone!! Yes it's a early Saturday morning and here I am contributing to the Wiki. Why on a Saturday and why so early? GOOD QUESTION!! =)

However I was just having a little look on the Internet and I came across a FANTASTIC resource that I think we are going to benefit from greatly. It's from Apple and basically a website dedicated to 'CBL'. It has resources, videos, samples and MUCH more. In fact they have a page dedicated to the 'BIG' question, which is 'Sustainability' and gives us examples and a complete direction on where to go from here. Maybe some of you knew this existed, however in a way I think if we didn't know this was online we may have just struck gold. Follow the link below and have a look and let me know what you all think and maybe how we can use this resource and if you think it will be useful for us in the future.

Hi everyone,

That is a great link Lauren, anyway, here's the link to the "flash mind reader" which I mentioned last Friday to use for gaining students attention in the classroom.

..see if you can figure out the trick ;)

Hi CBL team!

I think co-operative teaching (and learning) can happen with teachers (and students) who perhaps are not in the classroom but still have a presence as virtual educators/members. Here is a great site for finding epals from across the world who may want to connect with you. In fact, it seems this site has some focus on natural geography and global warming at the moment!

This is just a little activity that I use occasionally. I think it's ideal for a "time off"/ class building activity. I use 7 hoops for the lily pads, and group students into 7 or 8 (perhaps 2 working groups). Students can take in turn leading the other "frogs" in the group. Usually takes the students a few attempts.
