    This may be a little bit controversial, but I see a clear link to how we run our educational systems and the ideas presented on this website. I recently went to a training about connecting the content areas to have students create an end of marking period product that required they use skills and knowledge attained in all content areas. There have been several schools going in this direction and so far they've had great success, especially with ESL students. I'm very interested in pursuing something similar on my own campus.

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Books, movies and video games set in the distant future have always displayed technology like this and I was always fascinated by it. I have always wan...

    As you can see from this video, people have always been resistant to new technology innovations. If we can all learn to laugh our way through and be patient when others are trying to figure out a new technology, then change seems to happen more quickly.

    This kind of reminds me of my students, when teaching a new technique some just can't seem to grasp it. As do some teachers learning new technology. Todays MTTs need to understand this and realize that for some teachers it might be harder for them than others. I am lucky to have grown up using computers and being able to understand them. This has allowed me to grasp the 2.0 tools rather quickly. We need to be able to be patient and make sure that when we teach these tools to the other teachers they will be able to understand suffieciently to feel confident using them in class with their students. Despite access to technology and despite the fact that novice teachers are entering the classroom with far more advanced technology skills than their counterparts of an earlier age, only 39 percent of teachers report "moderate" or "frequent" use of technology as an instructional tool (Grunwald Associates, 2010). And that is because teachers are consumed with standardized state exams and need to make teaching creative and fun again.

    Very perceptive and a good analysis of what is going on. The harder part is figuring out what we can do about it - and that is REALLY the huge challenge. Will be interesting to see what occurs in the classroom in the next 5 (or so) years and how you MTTs make it happen.

    I know that this video was a comedy bit, but I never stopped to realize that many people struggled, or wished not to learn about new items that were coming about with time. What I liked about the video was that the "help desk" did not get frustrated with the person who was asking what many of us would think as silly questions. Many of us have trouble with wanting to teach technology, or integrate it into our lesson because we feel it would be a pain having to teacher a class of 20+ students how to use it. I know that at times, I find my self getting a bit stressed out when my mom asks me how to do a function that I think to be easy on the computer. I have to stop my self and remind myself that what I might think is easy, is new to others, such I am sure is the same when I don't know something and some one has to teach me.

    Lol, the video was very funny. Had me laughing the whole way through. I can't believe how far we have come. I remember going through my blocks in UTPA, when I returned back to the classroom after finishing my 12 in school my self and seeing the NEW projectors, the elmo, and smartboard in the classroom and thinking, "Wow, look where technology has taken us to from chalkboard, to overhead projectors, to smartboards. A board that you touch the screen on and it moves, changes, and recollects information. I was amazed and engaged myself. I laugh every time my co-workers think I am so young because this year is my 10 year reunion and yet the classroom has changed so much!

      EDTC 6343, The "Short A Easy" really makes the "A" easy to teach. I like how you can download the page in a word document and then print as many as you want.

    Tania, I must say that teaching phonics using this collection of word searches can be a lot of fun. It's not only educational but it is also very fun to do. I can see how students who are struggling with their reading skills can benefit from this. I really like the other resources at the top of the page. Especially the "Lesson Plans" tab resource. Thank you very much for hosting and sharing this great website!

    IMPORTANT!!!!! Phonics Word Searches Worksheets was shared by Tania Lopez Delgado and I just commented on it and I don't know why it says "Shared by R. Palomares about 6 hours ago". It was Tania who shared it she is the host. I shared "Free printable English worksheets, wordsearches, crosswords, board games, grammar works... " after seeing this awesome website that Tania hosted. I'm not a host this week so nobody has to comment on it but I thought it was good to share since it goes right in hand with what Tania hosted this week.

    Great educational website! It is definitely another resource for my treasure box. I really enjoyed the different types of worksheets. Especially the way it is set up with all the categories used in phonics programs.

    I think this is a great website for our ESL or Bilingual students. I do like how the worksheet is ready for print. The pictures are great too, especially for our ELL students learning the English language.

    I liked and enjoy navigating throughout the different worksheets that were in the website. They are very useful because it starts with easy to normal levels that will meet student's needs. In addition, these worksheets contain images that will help students connect with the words.

    Wow! This is a fantastic website. It is a great website for ESL or Bilingual students. I love the fact that these worksheets are free. The Bilingual students can also benefit from the interactive games online. I think this is awesome. They actually would have the opportunity to practice their phonics in many different ways. With interactive games and fun worksheets. Also, one website that I found to help with phonics www.cookie.com.

    This is a great website. The pictures will definitely help the bilingual students learn some of the concepts that are introduced in class. I will share this website with my colleagues.

    This is an excellent link to use in the classroom. One of the things that I like is that it provides different resources. I am going to introduce this to my students so they can have fun learning new vocabulary. Also, I would like to implement some of the prompts that are given, great for ELL's, ESL and Bilingual students.
