BBC - CBBC - Me and My Movie - 0 views

    This looks like a great resource for teaching movie making to elementary students: "Check out the Me and My Movie feature on Children's BBC. This interactive site offers the amateur filmmaker in your classroom all kinds of videos and written instructions-plotting advice, camera techniques, lighting, etc. Trying all these short tutorials together is the Movie-Making Guide, which helps the student to plan out the entire process" (from Instructify)

Common Core Standards: Teaching Argument Writing - SimpleK12 - 0 views

  •  
    "Common Core Standards: Teaching Argument Writing Argument writing is one of three types of writing stressed in the Common Core Standards for English, history, and science/technical studies. As I transition from persuasive to argument writing, my focus is on using technology to engage and support students throughout the process. Tall order. Here are some of the strategies I used to teach argument writing. What's the difference between persuasive and argument writing? Persuasive writing aims to persuade the reader that the stated position is correct. The writer wants to "win over" the reader, often by appealing to emotions. In contrast, argument writing must present a strong claim and support that claim with "sufficient evidence" and relevant "valid reasoning.""

World War Two History Article: Normandy Landings Failure Letter - 1 views

  •  
    " A small insight into the pressure Esienhower was under in the final days prior to the landing might best be summarised by the contents of a second shorter speech that Eisenhower had written in advance, should the landings have failed. Long after the successful landings on D-Day and the BBC broadcast of Eisenhower's brief speech concerning them, this never-used second speech was found in a shirt pocket by an aide. It read: 'Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based on the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt, it is mine alone.'"

TeachPaperless: Response to a Criticism about Using Twitter in the Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    Social Media is not a monolith. It doesn't tell you what to do. There are no rules. There are countless ways to use Twitter; the key is that the use of the social media needs to be fully integrated into the teaching -- specifically for the purpose of teaching the content and skills of the course. So, the trick is to figure out how to do that for your course. And there's a good chance that a PLN model isn't gonna work for your kids. As for WHY it's important for kids to take part in authentic social media (rather than the walled garden variety), I wrote a post yesterday where I tried to sort of lay out the framework of what we're looking at on the future grid of 21st century education. It's my attempt to argue what authenticity in education means now and for the future, and I'd welcome any criticism of it. Anyway, Social Media is what you make it. It's yours to tinker with. So, use your imagination.
