XtraMath Showbie Review for Teachers If used strategically, Showbie can be a great way to support and organize classroom learning. There's a nice mix of built-in features for offering feedback: You can type or draw to offer written feedback, or you can record audio and pin it to a student's assignment. Showbie also stands out for its flexibility. It's useful that you can submit assignments from dozens of iPad apps (from Google Drive and Dropbox to Explain Everything), and it's nice for teachers and students alike that you can access Showbie well on a desktop or a mobile device. The built-in videos and help text also make it especially easy for students, teachers, and parents to understand the app's features and how to use them. The only point of concern with Showbie is that its free version is so much less powerful than the pro version.
The Seven Best Short Films for ELT Students - Kieran Donaghy I’ve been writing lesson plans designed around short films for my website Film English for six years. Teachers often ask me how I find the short films I use in my lesson plans. The answer is quite simple: I’ve watched literally thousands of short films and developed an instinct for the type of engaging and simple short films which will work in the ELT classroom. In this article I’d like to share what for me are the seven best short films for the language classroom. The Mirror The Mirror is a short film by Ramon and Pedro which tells the story of a boy’s journey from childhood to old age. The Notebook The notebook is a moving short film by Greg Gray and is wonderful for introducing the theme of empathy. The Present The Present is a gripping short film with a wonderful twist by Jacob Frey which deals with the themes of empathy, teenagers and disability. Soar Soar is a delightful short film by Alyce Tzue which can be used to get students to predict and write a narrative. I Forgot My Phone
National Geographic Magazine Trees are more than just beautiful fixtures of any city neighborhood. They make hot summer days more bearable by providing shade and naturally cooling air temperatures in the immediate surroundings. However, researchers have found a distinct and historical connection between tree canopy disparity in wealthy, mostly white neighborhoods and low-income, often minority communities. It goes back to a discriminatory housing practice called redlining.
