    I love the way you can search for standards and then lesson plans/activities that meet the standard. Some of the activities on this page are too low-level for high-school students, but many of them would help my students get up out of their seats and participate in class by drawing on the board together. I would certainly use this site when teaching grammar, so students can group-edit and see the result.

  • Some online resources help make the decision to have an interactive whiteboard in the classroom an easy one. When you use an IWB to see and interact with a resource like National Geographic's MapMaker 1-Page Maps, it's difficult to justify "not" having an Interactive Whiteboard. This interactive map resource allows you to explore in detail different areas of the world. All you do is select a region of the world and then select a country. It even includes more detailed views of the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

    So maybe this wasn't exactly on our list of sources, but I found it by clicking away from one source to another. This site has nifty suggestions for different websites that pair well with smartboards. I indeed to use National Geographic's MapMaker to track the states & countries we cover in our class, so at the end of every nine weeks, we can see what sections of the world have been explored via literature.

    I'd love to use these howstuffworks videos to explain the role and prevalence of propaganda--perhaps in a unit exploring the literature of the WW2 and the atomic bomb, or the MacCartney era and/r the Salem Witch Trials, and/or the Cold War. These videos could form a segueway into examinations of political rhetoric prior to an election so that my student in 12th grade English could make informed voting decisions.

HowStuffWorks "10 Completely Wrong Ways to Use Commas" - 0 views

  • Plus, it looks so much tidier.

      I always tell my writing tutees this: We put commas and periods (other than those following citations) inside quotation marks because they are like small children. Semicolons, colons, exclamation points, and question marks are like adults; they can go inside or outside. But comma-children will get lost or run over a bus if you let them outside.

      Sidenote: Brits let commas out-of-doors. Some may say that this is because Brits enjoy fresh air and long walks; I say it is because Brits have public healthcare, and don't have to pay when their children are run over by buses.

      Helpful hint -- have high schoolers collaborate to make "grammer hint" videos or presentations for their classes. This site would aid them :)
  • Rebecca Delivuk on 28 Sep 11
     
    One reason I bookmarked this site is because I was shocked, flabbergast, and delighted that "10 Completely Wrong Ways to Use Commas" made it into the "Most Popular" list for howstuffworks.com. The other reason is simpler: Howstuffworks taught me how to explain transgenics, use fantasy football, and change a car tire. Students should know this site!

      I love it -- our kids need to spend more time outside, too, in creative and life-relevant activities :)

  • Equality

      I'm not sure straight-up "equality" is what we need in education, since every individual is different. Perhaps charter schools are good insofar as they can cater to a students strength. HOWEVER, the immense discrepency between city schools and suburban schools--check Philadelphia vs. satellite Radnor township, for instance--is insane and unjust. Equal opportunity should be a given in this "land of the free."

  • What happens when these digital tools no longer matter?
  • We have no problems teaching them to comment in full sentences and with appropriate spelling etc,
  • Rebecca Delivuk on 15 Sep 11
     
    Summary: Cultivate a positive digital footprint, both for yourself and for your students! In showing that ePortfolios provide students with transparency for family, skills for the future, effective digital citizenship, and an online cv for employers, this blog convicted ME that I should (a) learn to have a positive online presence, and (b) teach my student to do the same.
