Unite for Literacy library - 0 views

Online reading site for very beginning readers. Definitely geared toward kids, but students can read/listen at the same time -- a big plus in my book. Free, no registration required. A lot of non-fiction, which helps "up" the level a little bit.

This series of drawings struck me as something that might be useful to spawn conversation. Some Drawings are more controversial than others, but several hit on topics that I think some classes are already discussing, especially the upper levels.

Vocab Grabber: Visual Thesaurus - 2 views

I found this awesome vocab tool that picks out important words in an online (or typed in) text based on relevance, frequency, and subject. It creates word clouds (don't worry, I didn't know what those were either), gives definitions, parts of speech, and examples from the text. The full features are only available with a paid subscription, but there's a lot you can do with the free version, too, and you don't even need to create a username or password! This could be a very helpful website to pass on to students.

6 Tips For Finding Inspiration In Your Teaching - 1 views

This part of the article was so disheartening... "Evaluations are to make us look good-they affect or rating and certification. Coaching and development-should be done among friends." PD is about learning, and the goal of any assessment should be recognition of what's already done well and identification of areas that can be strengthened. That's what we expect from students...why should it be any different for us as professionals? PD should be a chance to learn, grow, and share as professionals, not a punitive process or a dog-and-pony show. It's so disheartening that bad PD practices continue to reinforce these concepts.
