    This idea is great for the foreign-language classroom: http://joedale.typepad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_/2009/05/using-skype-in-the-languages-classroom.html. The teacher used video-conferencing with Skype and then recorded the conversation so her students could watch it again later.

Continuing to develop a viable YouTube policy for my classroom. : Teachers At Risk - 1 views

  • have students know there are certain expectations around computer use in a classroom just like there are in a place of business that are different from the ones at home; help students understand  the YouTube videos they choose to watch should add value to what they are doing in class; encourage  students to think critically when watching YouTube videos to determine if the videos have the potential to add value to the task at hand; have students practice thinking critically about the videos they are watching and evaluating them.
  • chart type graphic organizer for students to use
  • I don’t think its much of a stretch for them to think critically about what they have seen.  They’ll be expected to complete an entry for each video they choose to watch during this activity.

    Great article with ideas shared from how other schools have used Skype in the classroom.
  •  
    Personally I prefer Google Hangout, but it's the same concept. What a great way to get a good guest speaker from someone that may not be local and speak in person. Personally I like the idea for professional development. Can do it one-on-one with someone and get specific questions answered for your class as opposed to blanket topics/statements in large group professional development settings.
  •  
    I use Skype along with my husband's 5th grade classroom. His students read aloud to my kinder students as part of our literacy block. We rotate through the kids until everyone has had a turn and then we get new books and start over. It's a win, win for everyone!

Helping students from rural Mexico feel comfortable in your classroom - Connecting with... - 1 views

  • Children from rural Mexico may frequently feel uncomfortable in the American classroom environment. For starters, students may have grown up playing only with their siblings and cousins.
  • if a student is attending an American school for the first time, it may also be the first time he or she is surrounded by a different culture, language, food, and set of expectations for behavior. This can make a child feel very nervous, out of place, or shy.
  • the definition of a good education, or una buena educación, held by Mexican parents is far more comprehensive than the dominant American definition of a good education. For Mexican parents, the term una buena educación is a term used to refer to the broad education of a child rather than the solely the schooling of a child. In fact, the term in Spanish meaning “well-educated” is synonymous with the term ser gente decente, or “to be a good person.” A good education serves as the foundation for all other learning and instills in children a sense of moral, social, and personal responsibility. This includes teaching a child how to treat elders with respect, behave properly, and become a person of good moral standing.

  • While parents in rural Mexico place a very high value on education and learning English, mothers bring the cultural understanding that schooling is the responsibility of the teacher and the school rather than the parents. They often do not realize that most children entering kindergarten already know their ABCs, the colors and the numbers. A mother from rural Mexico might expect that her son or daughter would learn all of these things in school.
  • some new immigrant parents may work long hours, may be unable to read, or may fill the house with things other than books or school supplies.
  • she may not understand that teachers’ requests to bring in supplies are to be followed, that classroom open-houses are normally attended by parents, or that homework frequently comes before family time in many American households.
  • Without authentic caring relationships with educators, students may feel disillusioned with their schooling experience and struggle to do well in school
  • To show respect to a teacher, a student may refrain from acting silly or boisterous, may not call out, or may not ask a question if they feel like they would be bothering their teacher.
  • may feel uncomfortable performing in front of the class or displaying information upon request.
  • but would be very willing to share in a small group setting.
  • Assign small group work in class to create a less intimidating environment for a new student. Avoid asking a new student to display their knowledge in front of the class until that behavior seems more familiar. Allow the student to be bicultural! Treat his or her language and ethnicity as assets rather than hurdles to overcome.
  •  
    This article has a lot of good information on relating to students and parents originally from rural Mexico. There are many good points in the first and second chapters of the article.
