MentorMob

MentorMob http://www.mentormob.com 
I saw this tool on Joyce Valenza's excellent blog Never Ending Search.
I dislike making step by step instructions, because so often the steps change.  This  tool seems to me  to counteract that  flaw, because it lets the crowd update the instructions, so theoretically if steps change, someone will catch the error and change the instructions, And maybe that someone won't be me :)  I think this may work best with videos, but below I made a step by step lesson plan., which had mostly text instructions



Create your own Playlist on MentorMob!

Classroom Ideas:
 This might work well as a supplement to lesson plans for substitute teachers, especially if  there is much to show from various sources.
This might work well as pathfinder in research projects.  In fact, I am going to try this out.

In chemistry classes, this might be a tool for students to explain specific chemical reactions.

In Math classes, this might work in combination with Kahn Academy.

Going with Geography


Richard Byrne at Free Technology for Teachers is a great blog to read. I get so many ideas and inspirations from his posts. He wrote about Geo Coded Art recently. I liked this tool for showing landscape paintings and the actual inspiration for them via Google maps
Classroom ideas:
1)A class studying a country could use this gathering of art and geography to personalize the study.

2) Create your own class database of Geo-coded studies. Chemistry classes doing element study could Geo-code the elements.
