Academic Content Areas | The Blue School - 0 views

  • This content area provides a context in which children can explore the connections between self, family, community and the world at large.  Each area of emphasis within Human Studies and Global Citizenship plays a critical role in deepening children’s understanding of how their world works. Exploration by teachers, children, and families extends into the study of how people can most successfully communicate, collaborate, and connect within the context of the community.  As with other curriculum areas, teachers look for and create opportunities for relating this content to real life. Exploring identity, relationships and the ways we interact and communicate integrates social development, empathy, and the pursuit of understanding one another throughout the daily life of the school. Children expand these opportunities by reflecting upon the characteristics and experiences, past and present, of diverse cultures and populations of the world.  As the children mature, this area of the core curriculum supports their ability to grasp increasingly abstract concepts and complex ideas about human beings and the world at large.

  • "Why now? Why not let Congress decide next year on this issue and on all the illegal immigration problems we have?" he said. Arpaio said he will abide by the directive, but added he will continue to enforce state laws as he sees fit.

Digital Writing, Digital Teaching - Integrating New Literacies into the Teach... - 0 views

  • In this sense, we need to expect that students will write beyond themselves. By this, I do not mean that students will necessarily try to write more lengthy, complex pieces than what they are ready for, although that can sometimes present them with welcome challenges. Instead, what I suggest here is that students write beyond themselves first by focusing on external audiences and purposes and, second, by learning how to respond to others, especially through digital means.
  • First, I believe that students should write for external audiences

      Critical piece to foster amongst students
  • Cultivating a community of digital writers is a task that teachers need to take seriously, which leads to the second point. A digital writer needs to be both a writer and a responder. When trying to learn about their audience, students should take the opportunity to get to know them by reading what they have written and then engaging in response.

  • In what ways can we think about our own writing practices — from emailing and texting, to writing letters and lesson plans — and how we use digital tools in a variety of ways to draft, revise, and publish our work?

    Writing Beyond Expectations
  •  
    Scott I see diigo as one way of achieving this. It gets students to reflect on what others have written and they can respond to others. But there are other tools to do this as well. The conversations going on in Jen's AP class are amazing. Almost 150 conversations to date!
