Tech Mashups Examples

As the end of the year approaches, I am finding myself struggling to reflect on anything I haven't already discussed. So, in the spirit of continued reflective practice, I thought I would use this post to share the lessons I created and facilitated in my classes yesterday and today as they represent "Tech Mashups" that I have found myself using consistently, and thus, combinations that are meaningful to my practice.

In chemistry class yesterday I reviewed student solutions to a lab simulation, provided additional instruction, and then assigned a new simulation activity. Below are links to activities along with tech mashups listed.

• Simulation #1: (Tech Mashup: Google Docs "/copy" template and cK-12 lab simulation)
• Instruction: (Tech Mashup:Screenflow, YouTube, and Google Forms with pre-filled template)
• Simulation #2: (Tech Mashup: Google Docs "/copy" template and PhET ab simulation)

In biology class today I reviewed student questions to a series of instructional videos (click here for process description), then assigned a new related task, and a final modeling task related to the two previous activities. Below are links to activities along with tech mashups.

• Instructional Videos:  (Tech Mashup: ThingLink and YouTube)
• Related Task: (Tech Mashup: Google Forms and Padlet).
• Manipulative Task: (Tech Mashup: Google Docs "/copy" template, YouTube, paper, and tape)
