alphabet teaching

shared by Alysha Nelson on 17 Oct 13 - Cached

teaching each letter you focus on only one sound at a time.  The letter A, for example, has many different sounds.  The first time the letter A is taught, I have chosen to focus on its short vowel sound.  While words such as airplane, acorn, and aerobics, start with the letter A, they do not focus on the short vowel sound.  Focus on one sound a week, and reading skills will come quickly for your child.

Teaching their kids how to write the letter A. It would be useful because there is audio and a visual to help them learn. It is also different than standing in the front of the room teaching and will catch their attention!

Last year Donna Baumbach created a Google Slides presentation titled 26+ Ways to Use ThingLink In the Classroom. Yesterday, I received an email from Donna in which she shared the updated version of that presentation. The presentation now contains more than 65 tips and ideas for using ThingLink in the classroom. The presentation is open to contributions from others. If you have ideas to add to the presentation, you can do so here. Big thanks to Donna for creating and sharing this excellent resource about one of my favorite web tools. By the way, ThingLink is now available as an iPad app too.

What are some of the benefits we are seeing? We are seeing that the iPad often encourages interactivity. Students will share a lot of what they're doing, ask each other "How did you do that?" or, "Oh, look what I did!"  They want to problem solve together.  It encourages group discussions between the students.  They tend to help each other a lot more.  It is affordable, comparatively speaking (see below.)

These special music pieces, recorded at just the right tempo, activate the left and right brain for the maximum learning/retention effect.  The music activates the right brain and the words your child is reading or saying aloud activates the left brain.  This increases the learning potential a minimum of five times according to the research.

Differentiation Instruction education

shared by Kayla Riedel on 07 Oct 13 - No Cached

Differentiation does not take place overnight; think of it as a wonderful work in progress. Once I felt comfortable with one aspect of differentiation, I would begin to add something new. For example, I first explained to my students and their parents what would be taking place that year and how it would affect their learning in a positive manner. I then added small things such as allowing my students choices in their reading and writing.
