Grade Level Chart of 21st Century Literacies Lessons - 0 views

  •  
    Lesson Grade Level Chart Which lessons are appropriate for your students? All schools are probably teaching many of the information literacy skills found in this body of lessons. Usually, individual teachers will tackle the process of plugging the gaps in their curriculum when an issue or opportunity arises. A sixth grade teacher may see the need to review note taking, while a high school teacher needs to re-introduce Boolean operators and review Citing Sources. Eventually, schools and districts will attempt to make sure the skills covered in these lessons are integrated into the K-12 curriculum. As a teacher, you can begin by looking at the chart below to see which lessons are appropriate for the age and abilities of the students you teach.

Teacher Tech Videos- Short Tutorials for Teachers to Help in Use of Digital Tools - 4 views

  •  
    TeacherTechVids.com started off as a resource to help support the teachers in my building (JN Fries Middle) in their use of free digital / Web 2.0 tools with their students.

As it was being developed, I figured it could be something lots of teachers and tech people may be able to use, so here it is!
