Free Technology for Teachers: 5 Tools Students Can Use to Create Alternative Book Reports - 0 views

  •  
    "This afternoon someone emailed me asking for some suggestions for tools for creating book trailer videos. It has been two years since I last wrote about the topic so I created a new list of tools for creating book trailers. Book trailers are short videos designed to spark a viewer's interest in a book. Having students create book trailers is an excellent alternative to traditional book report projects. A great place to find examples of book trailers is Book Trailers for Readers."

Subtext makes it easy to interact with your students right in the pages of digital books-you can answer questions, link to websites, create custom quizzes and more.

DOGO News - Kids news articles! Kids current events; plus kids news on science, sports,... - 0 views

  •  
    DOGO Media is a next-generation online network empowering kids to engage with digital media in a fun, safe and social environment. "DOGO" means young or small in Swahili. While our young fans may be small, they act BIG as they engage with our websites and express their opinions on the content that interests and inspires them. DOGOnews was created in '09 by a young mother in the SF Bay Area who couldn't find a reliable and safe source for her grammar school children to use for current events assignments. The word spread…first a couple of classmates read it, then teachers at the school found out about it, and now thousands of students and teachers from around the world are using the DOGO websites in-and-out of the classroom on a daily basis. What started as a small project has quickly grown to a community of kids and educators engaging positively on the current events, books, movies … (and lots more to come) that excite them!

Focus: Elevating the Essentials to Radically Improve Student Learning: Mike Schmoker: 9... - 0 views

  •  
    "Bestselling author Mike Schmoker describes a plan for radically improving student learning that is built on three core elements: a focused and coherent curriculum (what we teach); clear, prioritized lessons (how we teach); and purposeful reading and writing, or authentic literacy. With this "less is more" philosophy, educators can help students learn content at a deeper level, develop greater critical thinking skills, and discover more clearly how content-area concepts affect their lives and the world around them. Both a call to action and a blueprint for creating more effective classrooms, Focus: Elevating the Essentials for Radically Improved Student Learning will challenge your assumptions about schooling and show how educators who have embraced this approach quickly achieved spectacular results."
