This website is an incredible (free!) resource for English teachers. It has ideas, articles, networking for nearly any subject in English you could dream of! It was recommended to me by one of my English Teaching professors.
Wow! If you are an English teacher trying to find people on Twitter to link to for this week's assignment (if you chose to do Twitter), then check this URL out. It's to a huge list of English Teachers on Twitter. Add your name to the list!
This is a good website for future English teachers to take a look at. It gives many links to websites that can help with things like teaching poetry and grammar as well as how to make a lesson plan. It also provides the links to other teachers.
Some students may be more comfortable using computers. They could peer review in Google Docs or even learn how to do that in Microsoft Word. I feel like students are becoming more efficient on computers and at times are more willing to work on computers.
it isn't so much what technology can do for classroom instruction; what is central is what it can do for the learner as a citizen of the digital age.
English language learners who, without the requisite experiences and opportunities to engage with technologies, may turn out to be the least empowered when it comes to gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing digitized information."
I think this will help me be a better teacher because along with videos, this link has games that students can interact with and learn from. By doing something that is fun, like playing games, students will be more willing to make the effort to complete assignments.
