Video Tutorial - Creative Commons Search Engine
A lot of my students were simply taking images from online sources illegally without asking for permission or checking the licensing. I made this tutorial for them and for our staff to show them how to use the Creative Commons Search Engine, a tool used to find media for school projects or even commercial products.

Weebly - Building Up Our News Team Online
Students on our middle school news team made a website. I instructed them to make profiles of each other that would share the role of each person on the team but also to build them up. They had a ton of fun with it. Each of them came up with a unique name and described each other in style. When finished, each profile was approved by each team member before it was made public online.

Improve Online Research, Evaluation, and Citation Skills Unit
This is a unit I designed in Instructional Design class. It's a compilation of a great deal of research on resources for locating, evaluating, and citing sources in class projects, namely blogs. I designed the unit in an easily transportable format so that it could be shared publicly to just about anyone with a computer. The complete unit is free to use or share and it can be found HERE. Screenshots to the right give some highlights of the structure of the unit as well as a few of the lesson plans and activities.
