  • For young people without a personal connection to an immigration story, these websites, games, multimedia news pieces, and more, can help put a human face on an abstract debate.
  • For students with first-hand knowledge of the immigrant experience, they can find validation of their stories and/or those of their friends and family.
  • they can help students step back for a big-picture, historical perspective on U.S. immigration

      The foreign born population map information says, "The culture and politics of the US have always been profoundly shaped by the material and emotional ties many of its residents have had to the places where they were born".
  • analyze migration patterns for the whole country over time
  • This unique interactive resource can be a valuable supplement to a lesson or unit about U.S. immigration.

      This one is amazing and must be fully explored. "Illuminating, up-close-and-personal visit to the U.S.-Mexico border".
  • an illuminating, intimate visit to the U.S.-Mexico border
  • Teachers can use Borderland for whole-class discussion and exploration, or give students time to experience these powerful stories on their own.

      Not free (9.99) but sounds like an amazing learning experience.
  • Players approve or deny someone entry to a fictional country, basing their decisions on an ever-increasing number of virtual documents they must read and analyze.

  •  65 percent of your students are visual learners, according to research

      This assures me that using visual aides helps the students learn a language and that technology can enhance the effective use of visual materials, making it easier to access to the authentic and latest videos and photos.
  • If you’re using new technology, give it a trial run. It’s hard to imagine anything less engaging for students than sitting around waiting while you try to load that video over a poor internet connection or figure out all the glitches with that awesome online game.Do your trial and error ahead of time, before you’re demonstrating media to the class.

      While I agree with this, at some point you need a test group. I always try things out first with a section that I know can take a couple of glitches in stride.

      I wish we had enough time to trial everything in advance! Plus, the issue is something might work when you trial it but not at the right time...
  • And one of the best ways to access them is with an innovative tool called FluentU.

      I took a quick look at this once, but haven't used it. If anyone out there is using it, I'd like some tips.

      It seems that this feature regarding definitions is a step above ThinkLink...is this right? I would love to try this tool in conjunction with ThinkLink to see where I can get the most of what I need for my students.
  • need images, graphs, videos and charts to learn

      Some of my students also need to see the words written for them to process what is taught.

      but only for MC and T/F questions, right? not for open-ended questions.

      It seems like this teacher really needs to be on his game to juggle both the content and technology in a very savvy way. I wonder how much time he spends prepping for class.
  • Now students start in sixth grade with a digital citizenship and ethics unit — dangers of cyberbullying included — followed by an introduction to blogging, which requires them to “blog regularly as a means of self-assessment and reflection,

    Thanks for sharing! I love her comment "The digital native is a myth." This is exactly what my colleagues and I have been noticing as our school went 1:1. Students understand how to use tech for social media and gaming but not as a tool for school.

    Looks like the perfect video to watch as a prelude to doing the hard work of shifting a course to online format. The essential reminder for me: "Pick a few tools and use them over and over again." Better for students, better for us....
