Last week's SCPS Teacher Technology Camp was a GREAT success because of YOU!! We had a super time learning all about Movie Maker, Wikis, Encyclomedia and Podcasting (Day 2 sessions).
The overall goal of the Encyclomedia session was to help teachers integrate this useful (FREE) tool into their classroom instruction and assessment. All of the participants were able to get into their account, search videos and teacher tools, AND, thanks to Mrs. Smith, we learned how to input our students and/or set up a generic username/password for our students. This utility will help students be active users of Encyclomedia. Below are the simple steps to set up a generic username/password for your class:
1. Log on to Encyclomedia via the KET web portal: http://www.ket.org/education/encyclomedia.htm
2. Click on Teacher Center (located at the top right section of the home page)
3. Within the Classroom Tools section, click on Classroom Management.
4. Click on Create a Classroom
5. This section allows you to either input individual students (middle/high) or create a single class (Algebra 1, Mr. Atkins Social Studies, etc.). Once you have added a new or created a class, a student code will be assigned for that class/student. Make note of the code for student reference.
6. Simple as that!!
Let's not forget to share how we are using Encyclomedia in our classrooms this year. I can't wait to hear all about it!!
