  • Will what I am about to do or say bring me closer or will it push me away farther from the person with whom I am communicating?

Map it - Vocab. Technique | EFL Teaching Recipes - 1 views

  • Whatever vocabulary list / word bank you have – you can map it! Yes, just ask the students to draw a local map or a floor plan of a house or even a zoo layout. Next, ask the students to put each vocab item in a particular place. Ask them to explain their choices.  ie. Colors.  I put blue in my livingroom because it is where I like to think and feel blue!  Students can discuss their choices and why they put X in Y.  It works like a charm and even fosters critical thinking skills. A wonderful technique for learning / acquiring vocabulary (because we know we acquire vocab. better if we connect it to an object / place). This post was submitted by David Deubelbeiss.

In a Digital Future, Textbooks Are History - 1 views

  • Most of the digital texts submitted for review in California came from a nonprofit group, CK-12 Foundation, that develops free “flexbooks” that can be customized to meet state standards, and added to by teachers. Its physics flexbook, a Web-based, open-content compilation, was introduced in Virginia in March. “The good part of our flexbooks is that they can be anything you want,” said Neeru Khosla, a founder of the group. “You can use them online, you can download them onto a disk, you can print them, you can customize them, you can embed video. When people get over the mind-set issue, they’ll see that there’s no reason to pay $100 a pop for a textbook, when you can have the content you want free.”
