  • Internet safety & civility Curriculum teaches digital literacy and citizenship Sunday, April 11th, 2010 | Child safety | No Comments by Larry Magid This post originally appeared on CNET News.com In my more than 15 years in the Internet safety field, I’ve seen a lot of programs designed to teach children how to use the Internet safely, but many have missed the mark because they too often focus on children as victims or at least passive consumers rather than as participants in our digital culture. But in this Web 2.0 world, kids aren’t just consuming media, they’re creating it and they have collectively embraced social media as a part of their lives. They don’t go online; they are online–whether on a PC, a mobile device, a gaming console, or whatever comes next.

    Great, quick media literacy activity.

    Take a quiz with your students about real life vs. what they see on TV. This quiz is great because it goes through the questions and answers one at a time, giving the real statistics with each answer.

    The goal of Signed Stories is to increase the literacy of deaf children; however, it is a great resource for all children. After choosing a story, you will see the text, hear the story and see it in sign language. Almost 100 titles are available and can be searched by topic or by browsing all titles. Some stories offer more options than others. Many stories have pause and rewind buttons, so you can replay to see signs again. 10902 In the Classroom:  Use stories on the interactive whiteboard or projector to teach story elements - pause as the story is read to allow students to retell details to the stopping point then make predictions of what will happen next. Help students understand disabilities and adaptations to disabilities through watching the stories being told in sign language. This is also a great resource for students with deaf/hearing impaired parents or students/teachers trying to learn or practice sign language. In sign language classes, consider creating your own signed story videos for children's books and share them on a tool such as TeacherTube [ http://www.teachersfirst.com/single.cfm?id=9419 ]reviewed here.

reading literacy children

    Interesting article about a theory that children are reading less due to helicopter-parent book choosing practices. I would like to see the research they did/used to base their theory on. I have certainly noticed that many of our students seem to to a better job of choosing books for pleasure reading when left to their own devices. I sometimes counsel parents to let children make their own choices when choosing pleasure reading, as classroom assignments are not negotiable. I believe students learn more about themselves as readers when allowed to fumble a bit in their choices - with guidance, of course.

  • R.A.F.T i
  • topic (T)
  • role (R) that they will take on individually and as a group, such as marketer, author, blogger, campaign manager, etc
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Audience (A)
  • format (F)
  • You as the teacher can decide the aspects of R.A.F.T they will and also allow for student voice and choice.
  • The task is deliberate. You have a mission.
  • , you need to think about which standards will your students 'buy,' how you will teach them, and how your assessments will demonstrate the learning."
  • clear intent of the instructor of what is truly to be assessed
  • collaboration, presentation and critical thinking, but of course technology literacy is always a popular one
  • rubrics available,
  • track and monitor ongoing formative assessments, that show work toward that standard.
  • ecause there is an exit slip, worksheet, draft, or quiz due often.
  • I recommend only having the summative assessment count for the majority of the grade. Formative assessment is practice, and summative is the performance.
  • creating relevant, inquiry-based and engaging summative assessments.
