Graphic Orgainzers to create a story map for prewriting or postwriting. Interactive for grades 2-5 They include character, setting, conflict and resolution. Flash required.

I really like that this lesson has K-5 lesson plan options. It is a lesson about how to search non fiction text better for finding information during research lesson. It has a video on how you should be taking notes which is really nice since students usually don't know what they can get rid of in their notes and end up plagiarizing at times

This is a great lesson to use with elementary students to analyze text and meet Common Core standards. I liked that this lesson also uses Amelia Bedelia because you can then also discuss language and meaning and how her chores are always funny since she is literally doing what she hears.

App Smashing: A Definition ... The art of imaginatively using multiple apps to create an enhanced project. There are no limitations...

Crash Course Kids is a perfect supplement to use in science for upper elementary/intermediate grade students. I plan to share these videos with our science department.

This is a free resource available to teach coding. Is it beneficial? Is it easy to implement?

This lesson plan has students complete a scavenger hunt that requires them to explore the resources on Badgerlink. It could be adapted and used for students in upper elementary through high school.

In this activity, students work together to build a classroom community on Google Classroom. It could be adapted and used with elementary, middle, and high school students.

"https://youtu.be/sPwJ0obJya0" Series of YouTube videos to share media literacy with students.

This is a YouTube series to educate about media literacy. Could see it being used with elementary and up. OER

This short lesson, presented by Common Sense media, addresses copyright to upper elementary students. Topics include what is copyright, plagarism and having ownership of your own work. Video is from the viewpoint of student author who publishes her work and looks for feedback. Good intro video.

Part of a video series that covers broad topics in education in short, entertaining videos - think the "Cliff Notes" version. It would be a great introduction to a unit for students, as well as teachers to enhance their knowledge of a subject. I would recommend it for upper elementary - high school. The particular video is on Media Literacy, but there are tons of other videos too - science, math, STEAM, theater & drama, etc. There are over 8 million subscribers to their channel, so they must be good! :-)

This YouTube series explains what media literacy is, its history, and why it's important. I would use this to teach teachers and new librarians. I would also use it to teach media literacy at the secondary level.

A new form of distance learning, online learning is education in which instruction and content comprising a formal course of study are delivered primarily via the Internet. K-12 enrollments in online courses continue to grow, and while there is great potential in the virtual schools movement, there are many challenges inherent in this relatively new method of education delivery. What Works in K-12 Online Learning provides a comprehensive overview of effective online teaching and learning practices. Based on extensive experience and research, chapters cover a full spectrum of topics including virtual course development, online learning in elementary classrooms, instructional assessment and differentiating online instruction, professional development for teachers of virtual courses, and the challenges that virtual schools will face in the future.
