    From the MacArthur Foundation site announcement (12.3.09): "The report, "Meeting of the Minds," (PDF) is the result of a series of cross-generational online dialogues about digital ethics involving more than 250 adults and teens around the world. Participants discussed how to behave in a digital world, from illegal downloading and the creativity associated with remixing,to the factors that go into deciding whether to meet an online connection face-to-face".

    Classroom201X is a blog that has amazing resources for smartboards. So often smart boards go to waste because teachers don't know how to use them or don't know what to use them for. This blog is a great resource.

    This quick and easy comic shows us how easy we can incorporate comics into the classroom as a fun and inventive way for students to express themselves.

    I like this example because it makes comic strips seem easy, something I always thought would be a challenge. This could be a great activity for high school or middle school students.

    We all want to be teachers, but I think this helps us look at what kind of teachers we want to be. I know I don't want to be another bland, boring teacher who just goes by the books. Ken Robinson helps us see what schools do stop stop us reaching our full potential and why we need more creativity and arts - things that students will be passionate about in class - in the classroom.

    A TED talk (because that's more or less all I'll be posting) about the status of creativity in early education, and the implications for all levels of education (and beyond).
  • Kimberly Tracewski on 19 Oct 10
     
    Ken Robinson describes how schools are killing creativity and most importantly highlights why it is so important in our futures. He urges us to maintain creativity in our curriculum so English teachers, please do your part to keep it.

    This blog coincides nicely with the theme of our CI 335 class.  It acknowledges that technology is changing the way we learn, and it aims to encourage educators, parents, and learners to embrace technology both inside and outside of the classroom.

English poetry literature Reading

    This video is really cool! And there are many more like it on youtube. Essentially the videos are of pictures of poets with animated mouths. They move corresponding to the words on an audio track of the poem, so it looks like they are speaking the poetry outloud. It's a good way to listen to a poem or reading your version while listening to the audio. Perhaps the listener can also see how others would approach reading and vocalizing the poem.

    This is a YouTube video that was a project for a high school public speaking class. It's a good example of how we can use technology to allow our students to use a little creativity and have a little fun with their assignments. Also, many of us may be asked to teach a speech class at the school where we are hired!
