LESSON PLANS - The Learning Network Blog Video “I think everyone should have wings, just like the birds. But since we don’t have wings, we fly kites.” High above Rio de Janeiro’s crowded favelas, kites soar and dive — and attack. In this short documentary, we learn how kite fighting is more than just a simple pastime for the young people holding the strings.

"Teaching Composition Online: The Quest for Classroom Community" by Letizia M. Guglielmo Abstract One of the most difficult parts of teaching online writing courses lies in trying to create the community that students develop, often spontaneously, in traditional composition courses. While teaching two sections of English Composition (English 1102) during the Fall 2004 semester at Kennesaw State University (one exclusively online and one in a traditional classroom), I found that despite my efforts to change little, if anything, in the course design for these two sections, the courses have been quite different.

heidiwiki / Teaching Composition Online Barber, John F. "Teaching and Learning in the Virtual Classroom: A Look to the Future." Composition Forum: A Journal of the Association of Teachers of Advanced Composition 7.2 (1996): 111-18. Barber describes the realities and implications of virtual classrooms and concludes that this type of environment may provide "richer" learning experiences for students (113). He goes on to offer several practical recommendations for teaching online, urging instructors to provide models for student participation and allow for the possibility of face-to-face interaction, for instance. Optimistically, Barber encourages us to consider the many advantages of the online classroom, a space that promotes "a literacy based on audio/visual rather than textual thinking" (117).
6 Alternatives To Bullet Lists Sharebar Bullets make lists of important points easy to read. When those near-perfect little circles are vertically aligned, readers can quickly process the text. Power Point Jeopardy First of all, thanks for the good feedback on my instructions for a comparison/contrast graphic organizer. I have used this particular graphic organizer many times since I learned how to make one, and after I’ve taught it to the students, all I have to do is instruct them to make a comparison/contrast organizer. Some of them even do it on their own without prompting if they think it will help them with their assignment. Also, students have reported using them in other classes. When I taught middle school, I had a colleague that taught us how to create a Jeopardy game using MS Power Point.
IEP Goal Bank This IEP GOAL BANK is the place where you can "deposit" your own IEP goals/objectives and "withdraw" the goals/objectives contributed by others. Few things cause more angst in our profession than writing IEP goals/objectives! One way to simplify the process is to use the template below. If all sections of this template are filled in, then your goal/objective is measurable.
