Stories continue to tell generations that the world outside is filled with great adventures, heroic princes and beautiful princesses. It also has ogres and monsters that we must battle to keep it that way. I bet all of us have our own favorite stories from childhood. Most of us also have fond memories of hours spent in storytelling. The digital avalanche may have hit the generations that have followed us. Hollywood and Disney may also be coloring TV and the movies. Storyline Online Do you act out the stories to your child? Mrs. The magic of stories is in its storytelling.

Schoolnet.com: Empowering Student Achievement Film Education - Movies lesson plans Apps to Support Bloom's Taxonomy - Android, Google, iPad and Web 2.0 I had seen two great charts Kathy Schrock had made about Apps to Support Bloom's taxonomy. I have seen, and used, the ones for Android and Google. I just found two more on her site: iPad and Web 2.0 Apps. The charts are interactive and include links to apps organized by the category from Bloom: Creating, Evaluating, Analyzing, Applying, Understanding, and Remembering. The apps I've checked out are all free. Some apps show up in more than one category too. The iPad and Android charts also have an activity listed under the apps, such as commenting, video creation, etc. These are great starting points to find apps to use with your students based on Bloom's Taxonomy.

If the Ship Sinks, We Have the Survival Kit! Practical Steps to Foster 21st Century Skills With Your Young Students As an educator, I’m always looking for tools to support students reading and writing skills. It’s important to foster students skills that 21st Century learners must develop including how to research, analyze, synthesize, collaborate, and produce work to share with a wider community. I was really excited to discover a learning tool that really supports these skills. WriteReader is a K-4 web tool that works well both as ELA and ELL. This year my Special Monthly Synergy Club for K, 1st, and 2nd Graders at our school in North Carolina quickly learned how to use WriteReader. They loved being able to select photos and write their own sentences. We all wrote on the same topic after a group vote…Dogs! I was surprised by how my students wrote words that they sounded out that were beyond their spelling knowledge or ability. Students couldn’t wait to write their next book AND to share our books with others. Over the summer break several students asked to use WriteReader with their parents at home.

Run a Pre-Mortem to Improve Your Strategic Planning – Tom Barrett's Blog If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my weekly newsletter. Thanks for visiting! A Pre-Mortem is a strategic planning activity that imagines a project has failed. Exploring the worst-case scenario is traced to great Stoic philosophers, like Seneca, who called it the premeditation of evils, “premeditatio malorum”. “What is quite unlooked for is more crushing in its effect, and unexpectedness adds to the weight of a disaster. Adding the Pre-Mortem technique to your planning toolkit will help you to project your thoughts ahead, to comprehensively assess the challenges to a project and adapt your plans. Improve Your Planning One of the biggest challenges to a successful project is the quality of planning. If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail! However, it is not negativity for its own sake. The structured Pre-Mortem process steps through how to explore each scenario, identify the causes and outlines methods that respond to each potential risk. Prospective Hindsight When and Who
