Troisième journée Comme la lecture, l’écriture « numérique », même s’il s’agit d’une pratique considérée désormais comme ordinaire et banalisée, ne va pas de soi. La mise en œuvre de cette activité requiert des connaissances et des compétences liées aux spécificités des supports et environnements numériques – à leurs contraintes comme à leurs potentialités – qui imposent par eux-mêmes des choix d’écriture, configurent notre expression, prédéterminent nos pratiques scripturales sans que les utilisateurs en aient toujours conscience. Président de séance : Catherine Becchetti-Bizot, inspecteur général, groupe des Lettres 08h45 : Table ronde La table ronde est animée par Etienne Candel, maître de conférences, CELSA (Paris-Sorbonne) Isabelle Cailleau, enseignant-chercheur à l’UTC : « Les écritures numériques ordinaires »

Comic Strip Generator (Over 750 Toon Choices), A Custom Cartoon Maker One Comic Book Cel At A Time - Cartoon Generator, Send As Free Ecards & Mask Email (Hide Text) Creating a Visual Dictionary on the iPad  Pic Collage (free), is one of my favorite apps to use on my iPad. It creates great looking Scrapbook pages of multiple images in no time. Today, as I was planning with our first grade Hebrew teacher, how to upgrade a traditionally taught vocabulary project (creating a dictionary of their weekly vocabulary words in Hebrew), we saw the opportunity to use PicCollage with students in the classroom. (My apologies in advance for the example below is in Spanish and not in Hebrew) Reminder: The idea of a visual dictionary should/is not be confined to the World Language classroom. Think math terms, science vocabulary, library term glossary, Language Arts vocabulary lists, etc.

Quand vient le temps de gérer sa classe, on a souvent l’habitude d’instaurer un système d’émulation ou des règles et de supporter toutes ces règles par des punitions.

How Flocabulary Works Writing is a critical part of the learning process and is supported by research and standards, from Bloom's Taxonomy to the Common Core. When students write their own academic rhymes, they build essential writing skills and master content. Oh, and did we mention it’s fun?

Using Wall Wisher in the Classroom On Friday I ran a short workshop about using online tools to brainstorm with students. One of the resources that I shared and had folks try out was Wall Wisher. Although not the most robust tool for brainstorming, Popplet is currently my favorite, Wall Wisher is easy to use and seemed to be a hit with my audience. Jo Knowles - Live Your Life: A Theme and a Challenge for 2013 Every year, in addition to writing a list of goals and dreams, I also pick a "theme" to help guide me in reaching them. This year's theme came as a gift from Maurice Sendak. A few weeks ago, I came across this very sad interview with Sendak and Terry Gross, illustrated by Christoph Niemann. I won't lie. It depressed me.

Once you’ve created a short film and put all your hard work into it, you need to build anticipation for your family blockbuster. After all, it’s a well-established tradition to create one (or more) trailers to lead the way for your film… although no one’s ever truly explained why they’re called trailers—aren’t trailers supposed to trail, not lead?
