50 Useful Links For Learning & Teaching The English Language - 4 views

  •  
    This article provides 50 links to websites, articles, organizations, learning resources, teaching resources, references, and communities and blogs.

    I like this website, because it provides resources for teachers. There are other similar resources I used the tag: EnglishLearning.
  •  
    Katie, I agree that this resource can be used efficiently for other teachers future classrooms, just maybe not my own. The reason why it would not be efficient for my future classroom is because my specific area of teaching is more towards the sciences, and my the language arts. But I did love how there were multiple different websites that were available for further information and valuable resources for teachers. I also enjoyed how there were different topics to choose from such as websites, learning resources, articles and advice, teaching resources, reference, communities & blogs, and many other related posts. This website seems to be just for teachers, especially with other the different resources that are right at the fingertips for any language art or foreign language art teacher. Especially since the resource seems to be just for the english subject or even the foreign language arts course. There were also many different tools, printables, and as they say other great stuff for ELL educators are all available. I am not aware of any other similar resources to be considered, especially since I wasn't interested in looking for ELL websites. But overall, an excellent resource.
  •  
    Katie, this is an awesome list of resources! I think so often that teachers neglect ELL learners, especially if they aren't ELL teachers. I was just talking with one of my TESOL friends this last weekend and we both agreed that classroom teachers need to be more accommodating to their ELL students.
  •  
    YAY TESOL. I love seeing other teachers post about TESOL because every teacher is going to encounter ELL students in their teaching career. This is a great list of resources! I have used many of them and know that having them all in one place is extremely helpful. Since this is my future, I would definitely use this website to keep track of resources. It is for teacher use. Most ELL students would have difficulties navigating through these resources and understanding why they would be useful until a teacher helped them understand why. There are many lists on the internet for ESL help, but most have a lot of dead links. From what I looked at, this list looked very helpful!

How Do You Define 21st-Century Learning? - Education Week - 1 views

  • The term "21st-century skills" is generally used to refer to certain core competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving that advocates believe schools need to teach to help students thrive in today's world.
  • The research, to date, has provided no evidence that having either computers or whiteboards in schools has any positive effect on students’ reading and writing proficiencies.
  • Twenty-first-century learning means that students master content while producing, synthesizing, and evaluating information from a wide variety of subjects and sources with an understanding of and respect for diverse cultures. Students demonstrate the three Rs, but also the three Cs: creativity, communication, and collaboration.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Embracing a 21st-century learning model requires consideration of those elements that could comprise such a shift: creating learners who take intellectual risks, fostering learning dispositions, and nurturing school communities where everyone is a learner.
  • Twenty-first-century technology should be seen as an opportunity to acquire more knowledge, not an excuse to know less.
  • We need classroom leaders setting an ambitious vision, rallying others to work hard to achieve it, planning and executing to ensure student learning, and defining the very notion of teaching as changing the life paths of students.
  • Technology allows for 24/7 access to information, constant social interaction, and easily created and shared digital content. In this setting, educators can leverage technology to create an engaging and personalized environment to meet the emerging educational needs of this generation.
  • But being able to Google is no substitute for true understanding. Students still need to know and deeply understand the history that brought them and our nation to where we are today.
  • Twenty-first-century learning will ultimately be “learner-driven.”
  • he term "21st-century skills" is generally used to refer to certain core competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving that advocates believe schools need to teach to help students thrive in today's world.
  • Twenty-first-century learning embodies an approach to teaching that marries content to skill. Without skills, students are left to memorize facts, recall details for worksheets, and relegate their educational experience to passivity. Without content, students may engage in problem-solving or team-working experiences that fall into triviality, into relevance without rigor
  • Twenty-first-century learning will ultimately be “learner-driven.”

    Takes many view points on how to define 21st-Century Learning and Skills
  •  
    This is a nice tool for teachers to use. I know that I can definitely take a look at it for my own classroom. Learning definitely changes with the use of technology and how accessibly it can be for students to learn facts.
  •  
    I think this resource is very applicable to my classroom because one of my main goals to to have my students evaluate and create which is what a lot of the article discussed. Overall this is more for teacher use as it is discussing 21st century skills and what they look like. Also it comes from the Teacher PD source book. I shared an article that was very similar to this that covered 10 signs of a 21st century classroom.
  •  
    I really like the way that this article breaks down 21st Century learning and dispels the myth that 21st Century Learning is the same as learning with technology. I especially like the quote that you highlighted that states "Twenty-first-century learning means that students master content while producing, synthesizing, and evaluating information from a wide variety of subjects and sources with an understanding of and respect for diverse cultures." I think this is a useful article that helps us focus on what will truly help students become 21st Century thinkers, instead of just figuring out ways to have them do their work on the computer.
  •  
    This is a great article and gives me a great definition to wrap my head around. One item I feel is really applicable to learning in no matter the date is "...students master content while producing, synthesizing, and evaluating information from a wide variety of subjects and sources with an understanding of and respect for diverse cultures." Otherwise really good information! Thanks for sharing this.
  •  
    I think this website is a great start when it comes to thinking about teaching 21st century skills. Before you can understand something, you must understand the definition of it. I think it is important to note that 21st century learning is not the same as teaching/learning with technology. This website would be especially useful for teachers, because they need to understand 21st century learning before they can teach it. Great article, thanks for sharing!

    Teaching tips in a 21st century classroom
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    I really like the tips presented in this article and agree that I could utilize this resource when I become a teacher because the tips are modern and achievable. I believe this resource is mostly for teacher use because it is entitled "teaching practices for teachers," meaning students probably would not benefit from reading about how to become a better teacher. Rather, teachers can use this resource to discover some easy tips they could easily apply to their classroom to become stronger, 21st century teachers. Another resource that could be considered: http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2012/06/33-digital-skills-every-21st-century.html. This provides a link to another article on the same site entitled "The 20 Digital Skills Every 21st Century Teacher Should Have."
  •  
    Lots of good tips were given here, I hope that more teacher will discover this resource and learn how to apply this to their classroom.
  •  
    I like this website as well. It provides practical suggestions
  •  
    This provides good tips for all teachers regardless of whether the class is flipped or traditional. I saved it for my own library.

Achievethecore.org :: Instructional Practice Guide - 1 views

  • The Instructional Practice Guide includes coaching and lesson planning tools to help teachers and those who support teachers to make the Key Shifts in instructional practice required by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).   In order for teachers, colleagues, and instructional leaders to have meaningful and productive conversations about instructional goals and outcomes, there must be shared expectations regarding lesson planning and observation. These tools provide common criteria framed around the Key Shifts required by the CCSS that can be used to facilitate conversations between teachers and coaches about aligning content and instruction. By using these tools to reflect on practice, clear connections can be made between Common Core-aligned lesson planning and classroom instruction--conversations which can supplement information from other established observation protocols that focus on planning and preparation,  classroom management and environment, and professional responsibilities.

This website is all about helping teacher achieve the core and in the classroom. There is administrative tools for coaching teachers in instructing the core. Videos of classrooms that follow the core . It seems very similar to the Teaching Channel just this one has a different emphasis.

    This website offers many resources for teachers. It is important, especially as a first year teachers, to know were you can go for help.
  •  
    I agree that I could use this resource efficiently in my own future classroom but probably only for the first couple of years that I teach because it simply provides tips to keep in mind and resources for first year teachers. I like how the article tells teachers to keep in mind 4 key points: teaching is hard, you can't do it alone, every classroom is different, and classroom management means solving problems before they occur. This resource is definitely meant for teacher use because it is meant to help teachers as they first begin their careers, and students would not have a reason to utilize resources for first year teachers. Here is another resource that could be considered for first-year teachers entitled "10 First-Year Teacher Myths and How to Avoid Them": http://plpnetwork.com/2014/05/14/10-first-year-teacher-myths-avoid/

  • Give more freedom, and take it away if need be.
  • You will have to try a few things and see what works for you and your students.
  • Be positive.
  • Say out loud to the class (narrate) that you see them, and write their name up on the positive board.
  • Not only will this help reinforce positives with your kids, but it will also help keep you positive.
  • Use body language.
  • Often walking to a student veering off track and just putting your hand on their desk can help.
  • If you do have to say something negative to a student, make sure it’s private (whenever possible).
  • Use routines.
  • When kids know what to expect, they’re better at doing what you want them to do.
  • Seek advice and feedback, try ideas in your class, and try again, try again, try again! Keep trying new things until you figure out what works for you and your students.

    This post gives some great advice to new teachers, particularly how to be consistent, be positive, use body language, and use routines. I hope I can look back to this post during my first year of teaching in order to prevent some of the mistakes I will inevitably make!

    Great resource and something to keep in my back pocket even as I go into level III's next week.
  •  
    Anna, I would agree that this resource will be used efficiently in my future classroom. Especially since I will become a new teacher, when I decide to enter the college of education program and have my own classroom soon. Love how it says these are all the right things that you are doing, which makes my confidence as a new future teacher for sure increases. I personally believe that this resource is used specifically for only teachers. It's also very interesting how they have bolded essential components to remember the entire time you are becoming a first teacher. Such as be consistent, be positive, use body language, and use routines. Which the last one I believe is the most important when I comes to not only becoming a great teacher, just as well as to deal with different classroom settings. I am currently not aware of any similar resources to be considered but will not sure to keep my eye out for any that pop out. Overall, I like this resource how it ends with the saying, "Hang in there! And, let us know how you are doing."
  •  
    This is a great blog post! I have been working on a blog post that is very similar to this with my own blog. This gave me some great ideas. This blog not only could help a new teacher, it could also help a struggling teacher or a teacher with a particularly challenging group of students this year. Great find!
