    This is a good resource for teachers who regularly develop lessons around readings.

    This is a great tool for teachers who develop lesson plans around readings.
  •  
    This is a pretty cool site, even in its basic version. It will generate a lesson oriented to ELLs, using vocabulary clues, pronunciation, reading comprehension questions, and tie the lesson it creates to Comon Core standards. I pasted in text from a fairly complex academic article, and LessonWriter did a rather good job in these tasks, generating several pages of exercises for students, and also a lesson plan with key to the answers for the teachers. The lesson was printable, savable as pdf, and could be emailed to students or put on a webpage. This would be a great tool for teacher training: student teachers could study the lessons that are generated to see how that work--or don't.

Teaching English Language Arts: Curriculum and Instruction in Secondary English - 0 views

  • Course Wikipedia The workshops provide a forum for working up ideas about teaching, which will also be shared with the class through an online Wikipedia, which is a quick and easy way to put up, and revise, materials on the Web. This will enable students to share their work with the whole class, for use in their practicum and afterwards. The plan: (1) Students post an initial version of their lessons (see Lesson Format) on the Wiki the night before presenting it in the workshop. (2) The lesson and related materials on the Wiki (e.,g., a poem) can be projected during workshop class. (3) After the workshop, all students will have the opportunity to contribute further ideas to the development of the lesson, using the Wiki “comment” function. (4) The students presenters can revise online lessons, which will then be assessed by the instructors within a week of its presentation, with opportunities to “resubmit” posted lessons to the instructors.

ClassroomQ: A Better Way to Ask and Manage Questions - Nick's Picks For Educational Tec... - 2 views

  • Teachers see an ordered list of student requests along with any optional comments that students may have provided. Simply clicking on a student’s name removes them from the list. A Better Workflow ClassroomQ can play an important role in the workflow of the student-centered classroom. Students requesting help no longer have to sit with their hands up, doing nothing for extended periods of time. Teachers can give their full attention to the student(s) they are working with, knowing that other students have been acknowledged. ClassroomQ Accounts Free accounts are limited to a maximum of five students in the queue at one time (which should be plenty for most classrooms). Paid accounts ($19.99/yr.) are unlimited and also offer the ability to view who has checked in to a class along, and the option to download data from each class session.

    "The ease of use and simplicity of design are what really make ClassroomQ stand out. After creating an account, teachers can start a class session with one click. "Students join the session by going to classroomq.com/students, enter their teacher's name and class code. They can then ask for assistance and will be added to the teacher's queue with the push of a button. They can also see how many students are ahead of them at any time."ClassroomQ Assistance Button "Teachers see an ordered list of student requests along with any optional comments that students may have provided. Simply clicking on a student's name removes them from the list." Looks like a cool solution -- but wouldn't working in groups be a help? T/h to Nick LaFave

    Thinking about texts, and using "pinwheel discussion" in groups to discuss several books together and how they relate to each other. Students "impersonate" authors and there is a "provocateur" in each group to pose significant questions. Nice teaching plan that could be adopted for several different levels/ages. This particular lesson is for grades 9-12 (ages 14-18), and is keyed to Common Core standards. Could be used with historical characters also.
