40 of the last storybook towns left in Europe Much of old-world Europe has been swept away.

Article 2 - Traditional Nursery Rhymes and Teaching English to Modern Children - CLELE JOURNAL - children´s literature in english language educationCLELE JOURNAL – children´s literature in english language education Nursery rhymes have been used in teaching English to children for a long time and for a variety of reasons, including linguistic, cognitive, affective, and cultural ones. However, because many rhymes were created more than a hundred years ago, when society cherished somewhat different values from those in the modern day, care should be exercised when choosing the rhymes to be used in teaching modern-day children. The article argues for and develops criteria that can help teachers of young and very young learners select the rhymes suitable for language instruction in terms of their content, accompanying illustrations and language. Thus, rhymes need to be considered from the point of view of the relevance of their content to the children’s world and their age appropriateness, and whether they provide material for encouragement of discussion and exploration of values, as well as the means for overcoming a variety of problems children may encounter in their daily lives.
How to Use Periscope for Education Periscope, Twitter's live video streaming app, is taking the education world by storm. Since its debut in early 2015, teachers and administrators are trying to figure out how to use Periscope for education and not just as a way for students to stream silly human tricks on live video to their friends.

That fact alone should make you stand up and take notice about how important a company like Twitter thinks that live streaming video really is in today's social media landscape.
Collaborative Stories 1: Prewriting and Drafting Overview Featured Resources From Theory to Practice Responsibility vs Accountability Lately the word "responsibility" has been used interchangeably with the word "accountability" when it comes to teachers, teaching, and learning. Oh my! Why is it that teachers are held accountable for what learners are to learn? If teachers are accountable for what their learners are learning, are learners only learning for their teachers or a grade, not for themselves? Where does intrinsic motivation factor in the equation? Evaluations of teachers are often based on learner performance and data, so teachers feel not only accountable but responsible for what their learners learn.
ESL Kids Classroom Games & Activities Airplane competition: First, have your students make some paper airplanes. Stand the students in a line and let them test fly their planes. For the competition, assign different classroom objects points (e.g. table 5 points, door 10 points, trash can 20 points). Ask a S a question and if s/he answers correctly then s/he can throw and try to hit one of the target objects to win points. This works well as a team game.
