Great examples for using Wordle with students

This is a great vocabulary builder in French, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, etc. I introduced it in the lab and my students loved it. There are many topics and when you put the cursor on the picture it tells you by words and pronunciation what it is in the target language.

This is such a great website for my students! I was really excited to find this resource. I took my beginning French students to the lab today and they loved it. I will also share it with the Spanish teachers. Merci!

Wordplay is a free online game that helps students develop a large, permanent Spanish Vocabulary. All learning is done with a simple game which automatically adjusts to each student's unique needs. students learn the proper meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of each word. They also build long-term retention with reviews that automatically adjust in frequency based on demonstrated skill. Each student spends exactly the amount of play time he or she uniquely needs with each new word -- no more, no less -- so that vocabulary learning and retention is optimized while students have fun.

Are we (teachers) going to become digital users or subscribers?  For decades we have been comfortable using packaged instructional content (textbooks, etc.) to help students learn, and this was probably necessary in closed learning environments.

Palo Alto High School Online Journalism Site. Excellent example of authentic student work.

"It is very important we help students in our classrooms develop deeper, broader, authentic world views through the information we share and collaborative activities in which we engage together during and after class. It is also critical we help students develop values like respect, empathy, and compassion. Learning is most powerful when it is experiential and connected to the real world, and more opportunities than ever are available to help bring these types of learning experiences to your students. Here are several ideas for research resources and class projects you should consider this year."

Good educators know that the real world is ever more interconnected and interdependent. We all share in facing such planetary challenges as climate change, health epidemics, global poverty, global economic recessions and trade imbalances, assaults on human rights, terrorism, political instability, and international conflicts. We also share opportunities for global collaboration in such areas as scientific and artistic creation, trade, and international cooperation. These challenges and opportunities define the contours of our lives, even in their most local dimensions. Yet in spite of growing awareness of the importance of developing global skills, few students around the world have the opportunity today to become globally competent.

One World Education publishes middle and high school writing on culture and global issues. We then build standards-based interdisciplinary curriculum around the student writing to increase peer-to-peer learning and increased student engagement in classrooms.
