By Wendy S. Bray elling children that they can learn from their mistakes is common practice. Yet research indicates that many teachers in the United States limit public attention to errors during math- ematics lessons (Bray 2011; Santagata 2005). Some believe that drawing attention to errors publicly may embarrass error m

This web site offers a variety of video segments for teachers to see math, reading, classroom management and more ideas in action. The hardest thing for teachers is to be a fly on the wall in another classroom in order to gain new ideas. Check out this web site to find an area for you!

This website has a lot of information and ideas on digital story telling.

Story Center surface authentic voices around the world through group process and participatory media creation. Our programs support people in sharing and bearing witness to stories that lead to learning, action, and positive change.

The elements of digital storytelling. This site is introducing the elements of digital storytelling, include: media, action, relationship, context, and communication. 

A great post that reminds readers about the transcendence of narrative writing across genres (and across subjects!) The teacher uses historical and science fiction as inspiration for her ELA students' writing projects, but ideas, such as the "What if . . ." digital presentation project she mentions from Larry Ferlazzo could be used in almost any subject. The author's ideas for having students prove their informational research are also very helpful. I loved reading the post, too. Her, "Nobody puts baby in a corner," quote made me laugh out loud.

Seeing this in action in my school is really awesome. A traditional classroom would never allow students to have this much creativity. Think about it, would you want to sit in an uncomfortable chair for 6 hours a day? #eme5050

Media literacy education maven Faith Rogow, will discuss the difference between warning children about media and a skill-building approach to media literacy. We'll also introduce a new, free professional development and teaching resource from NAMLE.

Develop a deep understanding of mathematics. This user-friendly resource presents grades 3-5 teachers with a logical progression of pedagogical actions, classroom norms, and collaborative teacher team efforts to increase their knowledge and improve mathematics instruction. Focus on an understanding of and procedural fluency with multiplication and division.

A perfect search engince created for students ages 6-12. Safe and fun way for young learners to engage in research.

Search engine sorted by disciplines.
