Why? / Goals Reduce costs for parents and school systems Increase students’ level of engagement Better utilize and integrate technology into the curriculum and classroom Reduce the burden of heavy bookbags

How? / Getting Started Know your content! State and district standards McRel – Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning ( rds) rds Advanced Placement ( m/student/testing/ap/about.h tml) & International Baccalaureate( m/student/testing/ap/about.h tmlhttp:// For Social Studies… World History For Us All ( edu) edu Choices Program ( es/index.php) es/index.php Flow of History ( nits) nits Hyper History ( World History Teachers Blog ( g.blogspot.com) g.blogspot.com

How? / FirstClass & Weebly FirstClassWeebly.com

Conferences in FirstClass Content conferences created for each of your classes Content of each conferences divided into the units you teach

Conferences in FirstClass Illustrated

Content Uploaded to FirstClass Conferences Weekly assignment notifications Weekly reading/writing assignments (via pdf, Word, or hyperlink) Students ‘ class notes Student work samples Answer keys to major assessments Maps, graphs, audio files, & video files PPT study guides

Pitfalls of FirstClass Conferences Students w/o laptops (broken or forgotten) Still need access to any digital material you may be using that particular day They must either share or you must have hard copies of the material available Academic integrity If you encourage students to upload their work (I do!), there is a greater temptation for students to “borrow” each others’ work

Weebly For Educators Embed video files and text files Full list of specific tasks students must complete Separate pages for each unit and it ’ s fre e !

Setting Up & Managing a Weebly Site

Content Uploaded to a Weebly Site Positives One unit/module per page Unit goals listed on each page Unit assignments listed on each page Blog for questions & ongoing class discussions Video, Word, PowerPoint, Excel files all embedded Pitfall No place for students to share their work or their class notes

Other Great Tools for the Text-less Classroom Quia.comGoogle Docs

Conclusions Goals of reducing costs, back strain, tech integration, and increased student engagement largely achieved Pitfalls noted above can be solved through using a combination of Weebly, FirstClass, Quia, and Google Docs Noticed throughout the year that a handful of struggling students needed the security and organization of a textbook – be flexible!
