Just arrived home from CUE Conference 2018 in beautiful Palm Springs, California! The CUE Conference is the largest and oldest education technology conference in California. We were celebrating its 40th year, with over 6,000 people in attendance.
The chrome cart is sitting in the back of your room and ….. collecting dust. It’s time to teach past tense irregular verbs. What to do? Start by using your devices in your ELA or Literacy block to teach some literacy skills such as parts of speech! We use technology throughout the day, because if students are engaged in learning their critical skills and having fun, it is much easier for your to pull small groups and work with students who need you. Students are less likely to “go sideways” and be off task if they are doing something that they love…. And they LOVE using technology.
St. Patrick’s Day; the day most of us would love to be Irish! In my classroom, I always struggled to find holiday activities that were rigorous and tied to standards. We didn’t have much time for art related projects, so we had to find resources that were rich in vocabulary, illustrations, and some writing to facilitate engagement as well as higher level thinking skills. That was the impetus for our St. Patrick’s Day Digital Interactive Research Report Google Resource.
When it was time for me to teach poetry, I would inwardly cringe. I have never viewed myself as creative or able to write “flowery” language, so poetry always scared me. There are so many kinds of poetry, genres, and rules; my biggest fear was to pass my “poetry phobia” onto my students. So, I decided to research how to “teach” poetry (hopefully without tears!)
