TIE Online Class: Web Lit for Educators

The origninal site moved, but I found a new site to share.

This something I here myself repeating all the time. Students are always in such a hurry they skip the proofreading part.

A webiste that introduce musical concepts to kids in a fun way. More appropriate for grades 3-6 (good reading skills combined with computer knowledge) than younger. Might be a bit 'kiddy' for older kids, but I enjoyed it. It has changed a bit since they firsts introduced it in that there are a few more activities.

This is the homepage for my National association. Although it is mostly directed toward educators, there are articles and links in the website for advocacy.

This is a good site to help kids learn basic music theory. The site has been updated since I started using it, and offers apps for mobile phones.

Using the diary of a girl who lived through the events of the disintegration of Yugoslavia at the end of the Cold War, this lesson explores the historical, political, and human aspects of this difficult time. This would be excellent for World History, Geography, and World Literature classes.

This lesson plan explores historical, political, social, and cultural aspects of the nation's capitol. The student is asked to tie-in their own congressional delegations, collect media files of specific sites in D.C., and make journal entries describing and detailing what they learn. It can part of an actual trip to Washington or web-adventure.

In this week's Voice of Experience essay, Max Fischer shares his experiences using moral dilemmas to bring classroom lessons to life. Discussions of dilemmas tied to his curriculum challenge students to think critically and teach many other skills. Included: Join the discussion -- share your favorite role-play or simulation activity.

The greatest moments in history are born from tough choices and difficult decisions. Using dilemma activities in teaching history or civics puts the students "in the moment" of history. The lesson can be altered to fit any age group and subject matter, and allows the class to learn appropriate tone in discussion/debate.

This lesson format allows for 21st century skills to be applied to research projects. It adds the element of computer technology to a cooperative research activity. By using graphing/tables/illustrations it can appeal to visual learners, adding an element of creativity.
