  • If you are a new teacher, this is imperative. By rehearsing, this gives you an idea on pacing, one the greatest challenges for most beginning teachers.

    For second grade on Ancient China. Students use links to learn about cultural aspects and then develop a time capsule, making items based on the link's articles. Cool art-related/hands-on idea. Process section a bit hard to figure out at first, links are in small font.

  • Begin every activity with a task that 95 percent of the class can do without your help. Get your students used to the fact that when you say, "Please begin," they should pick up a pencil and start working successfully.

      An interesting thought for my students who assume they can't do it and consistently sit and wait for teacher help; often without even looking at what they are supposed to do.

      I know that assignment would have terrified me as a kid.
  • create intermediate steps
  • Consider writing responses to student journal entries in order to carry on a conversation with students about their work.
  • Unfortunately, low-performing students get used to doing poor-quality work. To help them break the habit, use a draft-and-revision process.

  • 8 elements of Digital Literacy

  • he following is my interpretation of how they might be used for teaching and learning in a primary classroom

  • definition in its publication Digital Literacy
  • To be digitally literate is to have access to a broad range of practices and cultural resources that you are able to apply to digital tools. It is the ability to make and share meaning in different modes and formats; to create, collaborate and communicate effectively and to understand how and when digital technologies can best be used to support these processes.
  • The challenge is how we as teachers can foster digital literacy in all areas of the school curriculum
  • it is our responsibility to ensure children are not only confident users but can also make informed decisions about the use of such digital technologies to help them in their learning
  • How can we ensure that our learners are digitally literate?
  • We can help children understand their role in the wider community and how they will have an effect on it. What they say becomes incredibly important when you begin to use digital tools to publish their content online for the world to see
  • Don’t envisage this as how your learners will use digital tools but how they will use their own cognitive tools to do so
  • In today’s digital world children have a multitude of ways to communicate that are more or less digital variations of those tools 30 years previously.
  • developing links and strengthening those bonds by fostering projects and interaction is the next step
  • Go with what the learners suggest, follow up their questions even if it isn’t in your panning
  • Learners today need to know which tools are the best to communicate the message they want to say, they need to make deliberate and informed choices that recognise what these digital communication tools can do and how best to utilise them.
  • You want a class of learners that will know which tools will get the job done effectively and which tools will only hold them back
  • Never before has a learner been presented with so much choice to draw a picture – from pencil and paper to digital pens and paper on a tablet device
  • owever the creative potential is being held back by teachers who are either not prepared to use these tools in their class due to other ill conceived curriculum pressures or they just don’t know how.
  • How do we know it is written by the author claiming it to be so? We need to develop critical awareness and thinking
  • Children cannot go on accepting the first result they receive from a search
  • Digital Literacy must be developed across every part of the curriculum and not just ICT and our learners must be given the freedom to do so in schools today

shared by Emily Wampler on 29 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • The station is named for Nathaniel B. Palmer, usually recognized as the first American to see Antarctica. The maximum population that Palmer Station can accommodate is 46 people. The normal austral summer contingent varies but is generally around 40 people. Palmer is staffed year-round; however, the population drops to 15-20 people for winter maintenance after the conclusion of the summer research season. There are science labs located in the Bio-Lab building (pictured), as well as a pier and a helicopter pad.
