www.bullying.org Where you are NOT alone! Created by Bill Belsey - 0 views

  •  
    I think this tool gives a voice to all of those students who are being bullied (and cyberbullied) and feeling that they are alone in this world. It engages the students so that they can make their own creative submissions to help cope with the isolation they are experiencing and to take control of their situation. There is even a game called "Bully Busters" that allows students to create their own heroes and personalize their experience. Furthermore, there is a section that talks about "Peer Power Presenters", a program that coaches and empowers students to make presentations during Bullying Awareness Week, asserting that presentations will only be made by youth to youth. Finally, there is an option to submit and access helpful resources that include multimedia, books, articles, laws and policies, projects, research, and lesson plans. This site is packed with information and hands on materials.

Critical Literacy and Creativity - 0 views

  •  
    This wiki is part of a group project between four educators with a common interest in Critical Literacy and Creativity. The authors assert that creativity is a part of human beings that affects how we live and understand and that it is an integral part of education and learning, not an added extra.

Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants - 1 views

  •  
    I read Marc Prensky's article for my other class. I like the way he contrasts the two groups, especially within the frame work of the immigrants trying to educate the natives. He does a nice job describing how the two generations view each other, of course supporting the theory of why educators must change.
