    I really liked the last comment by the writer. His kids are the same age as mine and I am thankful that mine were older before they had access to Facebook. But just the same we as educators need to know the good and the bad so we can help our students and their parents become better cyber citizens

    What Empathic Education Is: Reflection and Immersion Empathic Education is a system of education where empathy, the "walking in the shoes of others, " is taught through reflection and immersion. In Empathic Education, students read about empathy, they write about empathy, and they actually delve into the world of others and experience the joy and pain of people who are "not exactly like me."

    I like the idea that you have access to all of your revisions. Too often students revised something and it is not really better. They might want to go back to the original one but they do not have it saved. This way they can go back and see the progress they have made. It is also an easy way for others to help with editing.

  • She introduces the students, who start off quietly, a little wary of this newfangled sort of author visit. But soon they’re taking turns sharing their favorite characters and we forget the computers that connect us. It feels like we’re all in the same room, and the questions fly across the miles.
  • The video connection allows for some show and tell. I hold up the leaf collection from my school that sparked the idea for the book. The students also get a sneak peak at the outline I’m working on for my new project, a middle-grade mystery. I love the way they talk not just to me but to one another, building on ideas like readers do in any book club discussion.
  • Almost all authors have an online presence with Web sites and email links, so it’s often possible to send a quick note to inquire.

  • Once students are used to the technology (and they adapt more quickly than we do, most often) they’re happy to carry on a conversation as if the author is sitting in the room with them.

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

shared by meineckee on 30 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • 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.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • 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.

    Just 18 percent of U.S. school teachers use social media to connect with students and parents, and only a quarter of teachers report they would like to make it part of their lesson plans, according to a recent survey.

    One of my concerns or issues is this very thing - how can I ensure my students are using these tools appropriately when it will not only affect me and my job but also their potential employment future as well. How do we keep the professional/academic side of it separate from the personal/social side of it?

  • YouTube is rolling out some big new ways to engage with the education community. Continuing with our look at how YouTube can aid teachers and students, it’s probably a good idea to actually outline exactly how the video service can help in the classroom.
  • Help Both Struggling And Advanced Students Videos (or playlists) can help supplement in class teaching for struggling students. Students can review them at home so you’re not forced to teach exclusively to the middle 50%. YouTube user piazzaalexis uses videos like this to address misunderstandings and allow his students to review difficult concepts.
