The Impacts of Daily Reading on academic achievement by @MrsHollyEnglish - 2 views

  •  
    "I have always believed that reading has a significant impact on our understanding and appreciation of the world. as both a life-long passionate reader and an experienced English Language arts teacher, I have witnessed first-hand the impact that reading has on the ability of learners in terms of comprehension, grammar, empathy, confidence, vocabulary and expression. This has however, only ever been phenomenological through informal observations in the classroom, and in an effort to incorporate sustained silent reading (SSR) as a regular, valid and essential practice, I have embarked upon this research in order to determine the impacts that daily reading has on middle-school learners, not only in terms of English Language arts, but also across the curriculum."

Social Media is Here to Stay... Now What? - 0 views

  • Social media is driven by another buzzword: "user-generated content" or content that is contributed by participants rather than editors.
  • I'm going to share my research in three acts: 1) How did social media - and social network sites in particular - gain traction in the US? and how should we think about network effects? 2) What are some core differences between how teens leverage social media and how adults engage with these same tools? 3) How is social media reconfiguring social infrastructure and where is all of this going?
  • Facebook was narrated as the "safe" alternative and, in the 2006-2007 school year, a split amongst american teens occurred. Those college-bound kids from wealthier or upwardly mobile backgrounds flocked to Facebook while teens from urban or less economically privileged backgrounds rejected the transition and opted to stay with MySpace while simultaneously rejecting the fears brought on by american media. Many kids were caught in the middle and opted to use both, but the division that occurred resembles the same "jocks and burnouts" narrative that shaped american schools in the 1980s.

  • over 35% of AmericAn Adults hAve A profile on A sociAl network site
  • many adults have jumped in, but what they are doing there is often very different than what young people are doing.
  • Teens are much more motivated to talk only with their friends and they learned a harsh lesson with social network sites. Even if they are just trying to talk to their friends, those who hold power over them are going to access everything they wrote if it's in public
  • while you can replicate a conversation, it's much easier to alter what's been said than to confirm that it's an accurate portrayal of the original conversation.

  • Social media brings all of these contexts crashing into one another and it's often difficult to figure out what's appropriate

Eyejot - the easiest way to send video - 14 views

  •  
    Video Mail in a Blink! It's fun, it's easy and there's nothing to install Flash-based so no download and for Mac and PC. Free account allows for one-minute messages. Message receivers don't have to sign up to watch the message it seems. That's good. Teachers can send message to students and encourage them to continue and reply. This is especially nice for online learners and teachers. Students can send each other messages to practise speaking and listening. Speaking for a minute is probably not that scary :)
  •  
    I agree and have used eyejot quite a bit. They've made it more friendly in the past year. But the friendliest way to encourage students is to use Bubblejoy. http://www.bubblejoy.com/intro.php Pick an interesting ecard/frame your students will love! David http://eflclassroom.com

    Thanks for this, David! It never hurts to have options.

    "As I stood in the school hAll, during An Assembly on NAtionAl LAnguAges DAy, I felt such pride, but equAlly Astonishment At how the children hAd embrAced the tAsk of sAying hello in As mAny lAnguAges As possible. I wAtched in AmAzement As the 34th child stood up in front of the school to shAre his knowledge of yet Another greeting from A different country.
