Free Technology for Teachers: Reading Bear Offers Fun Online Reading Lessons for Kids - 0 views

  •  
    "Reading Bear is a free service that offers narrated lessons on recognizing and pronouncing letters and words. There are also some lessons on prefixes and suffixes. Students can control the pace of each lesson to match their needs. "After each lesson on Reading Bear students can take quizzes to test their skills. The quizzes present a picture and a set of words. Students have to match the correct word to the picture that they see. Through the narrator, students receive instant feedback on each question in the quiz." I am not convinced that these topics are a good idea for K-3, but if this is in your curriculum, this site might be a good option.

The Structure of a Paragraph Unit - 3 views

  •  
    This web resource is for teachers of high beginning and intermediate writing courses and intermediate ESL learners. The resource provides 8 units that 1) teach about paragraph structure and paragraph elements: topic sentence, supporting sentences, and concluding sentence 2) introduce transition words and coherence in a paragraph 3) provide the opportunity to learn about and practice basic writing skills such as making an outline and staying on topic. Clear explanations are supported by examples; therefore, teacher can use this resource for class preparation, and ESL learners can use it as additional material to learn about paragraph writing. Practice activities provided by the website are not interactive; however, most of the assessment tasks have answer keys. In addition, each unit provides lesson in a PDF format that can be used by a teacher as a handout. -- From Lena Shvidko For ESL K-12 learners, but would be useful for adults as well. Focuses on the paragraph, rather than the essay, so makes a good beginning set of lessons.

How To Observe Teachers In The Classroom - 1 views

  •  
    Absolutely great video (3.56 min.) showing how to observe students learning rather than the tasks or activities the teacher does. Very good way to observe each other's classes and all it takes might be a smart phone on a tripod in a corner of the room.

Four Ways to Give Good Feedback | TIME.com - 1 views

  •  
    "Here, four ways to offer feedback that really makes a difference, drawn from research in psychology and cognitive science:" These include: 1.Supply information about what the learner is doing, rather than praise or criticism. 2. Take care in how feedback is presented so it doesn't reduce motivation. Have learners be involved in analyzing their own performance. 3. Orient feedback to goals. 4. use feedback to develop metacognitive skills.

How To Transition To The NGSS - 0 views

  •  
    Designing 3-dimensional, hands-on experiences for the classroom. Explains "flipping" in the original sense: students explore first, then hear what it's all about through discussion with other students. Works well with science, but how to translate it into the language classroom?

Designing Education - UKEdChat - 0 views

  •  
    "Many of us will have fond memories of children's TV engaging us to turn our used bottles into rockets, our wooden spoons into cartoon character puppets, and attaching googly eyes to anything which keeps still for more than 3 seconds! Schools are great at turning recycling into creativity, and design is at the heart of this. Later, the skills pupils learn turning pasta into planes and tins into trains fuel are the beginning of making the engineers and artisans of the future."
