    As a seasoned teacher with a passion for technology integration, I believe in the power of classroom webpages to enhance communication and foster student engagement. Throughout my career, I have utilized my classroom webpage as a hub of information, providing students and parents with essential updates on class schedules, assignments, and upcoming events. By sharing learning resources, such as interactive websites and supplementary materials, I aim to support my students' academic growth and encourage self-directed learning. In alignment with privacy regulations and school policies, I am diligent in not posting any personal or confidential information about myself or my students on the webpage. Instead, I showcase exemplary student work, celebrating their achievements and motivating other learners. Obtaining proper consent from parents or guardians before sharing any student images is a top priority, ensuring a respectful and safe digital space for all. On my webpage, I clearly communicate classroom policies and expectations, fostering a positive and respectful learning environment. I prioritize inclusivity and avoid posting content that could be controversial or offensive, ensuring a neutral space for all students and their families. By focusing on educational content and classroom-related information, I steer clear of commercial or advertisement material. My goal is to utilize the webpage as a collaborative platform, fostering open communication between students, parents, and myself. As technology continues to evolve, I remain committed to adapting my webpage to meet the ever-changing needs of my diverse learners, enhancing their learning experience and fostering their success.

35 ways to use Twiducate for deeper learning. « taitcoles - 0 views

  • 18. Wordle Twiducate. The ‘print’ option enables you to upload all posts written in the class (also available for the ‘chat’ option), simply cut and paste this into Wordle and you will have a keyword cloud. This could be used for presentations, display, plenaries or starters. Put the word cloud up at the start of a lesson and ask the class “what do you think these students were writing about?”
  • 19. Student Twiducate Questions. Encourage your students to ask YOU questions. Perhaps you could set this up as a piece of homework, ask them to comment on a part of the lesson they perhaps they didn’t fully understand, or ask them to decide what they want to learn next lesson. By viewing posts before lessons you can plan directly for the specific needs of your class.
  • 26. Parent Page. This neat idea could be another way to communicate to parents about the fantastic and engaging learning that their children are doing in your lessons. You could write a brief synopsis of what students are learning in lessons, or to deepen learning ask each student in turn to add to the page; “Sarah, would you like to write three sentences to everyone’s parents about what we’ve learnt today?”
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 29. Bookmark your presentations. Bookmark the PowerPoint, Prezi presentations that you have used in class. As well as the students having the opportunity to re read it etc, you could also ask them to produce a slide for the presentation as homework etc.
  • 34. Planning for teacher. Use the print option to view what you students have been chatting about, it may be very surprising. If they were all chatting about a certain concept, perhaps you will need to cover it again in another lesson in another way.
  • 35. Wordle it! Again using the print option in Twiducate, cut and paste the chat into Wordle and create a word cloud. This could be used for presentations, display, plenaries or starters. Put the word cloud up at the start of a lesson and ask the class “can you remeber what we were chatting about last lesson?”
  • For the more reluctant students, this allows students to discuss ideas BEFORE they post. Like any class dynamics some students will not be as comfortable as others in saying “but Sir! I don’t get it!”. Allow them to use this tool to ask other students about their learning.

Homeless in high school - The Boston Globe - 0 views

  • The number of high school students who become homeless after turning 18 has increased dramatically in recent years, far outpacing the few housing assistance programs available to them, say advocates for the homeless. Some youths leave home voluntarily to escape abusive situations, and others are forced out by parents or relatives. Youth advocates say economic hardship, family disputes, and, in some cases, the belief that children should support themselves at 18 lead some parents or guardians to push their children out.

      Eye opening thought when teaching students ... middle school instructor!
  • Foster care and other state or federally funded programs do not include adult-age teens as part of their mandate, unless they receive assistance before they turn 18. Students tend to shun homeless shelters, which typically serve mostly adults, often those with mental-health or substance-abuse issues.

How Can A Primary School Tutor Assist Your Child? - About Town Tuition | online tuition... - 0 views

  •  
    Primary School is the foundation of a child's educational life. How is he/she going to perform and what kind of attitude he/she exposes towards receiving education depends completely upon the care and assistance one receives in their primary school level. So, it is the responsibility of every conscious parent to provide their kid with the best care and support during the most formative period of their life. To support them successfully and completely, enrolling them in a primary school is not the only thing you have to do. They need extensive care and only an efficient primary school tutor can create the environment which will enable them to learn, making it an extremely enjoyable act.

Expanded Learning Time: Advantages And Disadvantages - 0 views

  •  
    Most of the educationists have supported this expanded school time because it will help children to learn more instructions and lessons. Nowadays, school-going students become safer in school whose parents are working. It is observed in many studies that, there is no such co-relation between good academic results or achievements with long spanned school hours.
