Peoples Academy-Newman: December 2009
http://linkstoliteracylearning.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 10, 2009. In Spanish classes this week students searched the web and uploaded some fantastic sites to help them improve their Spanish accents. Examples uploaded are: an alphabet song,a CNN report,and a movie trailer in Spanish. Although we are just beginning to tap into web 2.0 tools we can see the obvious benefits for differentiating instruction and putting students at the center of their learning. It's most definitely an exciting atmosphere here! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Walking t...

Peoples Academy-Newman: Web 2.0 Classrooms
http://linkstoliteracylearning.blogspot.com/2009/11/web-20-classrooms.html
Thursday, November 5, 2009. Often they list multiple sites that involve reading and writing. My next thought is, "how can I get them to be engaged with books too? What makes readers want to keep reading? The research suggest the following conditions:. 1 The book meets the reader's expectations for it. 2 The reader asks questions that drive the reading forward to find the answers. 3 The reader makes predictions and keeps reading to see if they are correct. Reading on must confirm or reshape. Discussion Fo...
