Zaption – Zanslöst bra! I tisdags var jag i Ronneby och föreläste för gymnasie/komvux-lärare om flippat klassrum med förmågor i fokus. Under föreläsningen hade jag inslag av interaktion, bl.a. fick pedagogerna möjlighet att själva, med hjälp av den digitala anslagstavlan Padlet, synliggöra olika metoder och verktyg som de använder i sitt klassrum. Ett av namnen som kom upp på vår padlet var Zaption, en av deltagarna berättade att Zaption är ett fantastiskt verktyg när man arbetar med flippat klassrum. Zaption ger användarna en möjlighet att dela flippar, men även en möjlighet att lägga in frågeställningar inne i flippen, vilket gör eleverna mer aktiva under tiden de tittar. Jag blev nyfiken och ville ta reda på mer. Nu blev jag givetvis så nyfiken att jag var tvungen att skapa ett konto på Zaption. Du får en rundtur i form av en flipp när du loggar in, här får du en kort överblick över de funktioner som finns och hur du ska göra för att använda verktyget. Då får jag fram några olika alternativ.

These legends can be used for entertainment purposes, as well as for semi-serious explanations for random events such as disappearances and strange objects. Despite its name, an urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban area. Rather, the term is used to differentiate modern legend from traditional folklore of pre-industrial times. Some urban legends have passed through the years with only minor changes to suit regional variations. Origins and structure[edit] The term "urban legend," as used by folklorists, has appeared in print since at least 1968.[2] Jan Harold Brunvand, professor of English at the University of Utah, introduced the term to the general public in a series of popular books published beginning in 1981. Propagation and belief[edit] Other terminology[edit]
Google Calendar Vissa av våra elever har svårare att strukturera sin vardag än andra. Den gemensamma klasskalendern kan vara till mycket hjälp i att strukturera sitt arbete men ibland krävs det ännu mer hjälp. Då kan en schemakalender med påminnelser vara praktisk för eleven. Påminnelserna kommer att komma varje gång eleven är inloggad på sitt googlekonto i Chrome men också på mobilen om man lägger till kalendern där (vilket kanske är den bästa lösningen). Förhoppningsvis kommer schemakalendrar genereras automatiskt sen men tyvärr är vi inte där ännu, så vi kan göra det manuellt. 1. 2.

Mathematics and graphic organisers Doris Lessing once said, “Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so.” My wife and I experienced what Lessing described through a process with our third-grade girls as they were struggling with a multiplication math standard (3.OA.4). The girls were getting stuck in a couple of areas regarding the standard, and were developing negative feelings about math and about themselves as mathematicians. We felt some urgency to try something new, and the new thing we tried had to be engaging and fun, and provide ways for the girls to again see themselves as mathematicians. Lesson 1: A Numberless Word Problem Although the girls weren’t interested in learning the standard, I knew that if I found the right problem, I could pique their interest. Molly the zookeeper has 24 bananas to feed the monkeys. Molly is a zookeeper. Once the girls had written their questions, I asked them to share with each other.
Lektionstips Engelska: An American in Sweden För ett antal år sedan sprang jag på en blogg av den roligare sorten. Det var en amerikan som bodde i Sverige och bloggade om sina upplevelser. Språket är verkligen autentiskt och väldigt informellt, vilket gör texten väldigt lätt att ta till sig.Jag kontaktade bloggaren och bad att få använda hans texter i undervisningen, vilket han gärna lät mig göra. Jag valde ut de avsnitt där han beskrev möten med svensk mat, som nyponsoppa, flädersaft, blodpudding och Djungelvrål. Jag skapade frågor till texterna som syftar till att både förstå innehållet och förstå vissa språkliga finurligheter. Jag har använt de här övningarna i många grupper och de lockar alltid fram skratt. Enjoy!
