Annabel Thor That sounds brilliant. How old is he-primary or secondary? There are lots of interesting free websites for home educators. The map idea sounds fab. You could also work on coordinates and tracing a route on a map with a piece of string etc. Also, make a papier mache large map with different terrains looking a little like the sort of maps that they had in operation control rooms during the war? There are some fabulous map games too- there are printables online of flags - Sparklebox has quite a few print outs for younger children. If you look on https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources some are free. I am an ex-tutor, so know quite a lot about online resources. It can be cool to buy a URL from Namecheap and launch a free website from Weebly or Wix and list lots of resources on it to click into easily, having a page for each topic. With a subscription to Weebly, it is possible to launch videos and You Tube clips online too - this can be great for learning. Glogster is cool as well- this is free up to a point and works like an online story board. Brainpop is a real favourite- it is via subscription but it is so interesting and has small tutorials and then questions after. So much to learn- the list is endless... Good luck!

Jokes You Can Use: After dying in a car crash, three friends find themselves at an orientation to enter heaven. Each one was asked, “When you are in your casket, what would you like to hear your friends and family saying about you?” Sean says, “I would like to hear them say I was a great doctor and a great family man.” Karl says, “I would like to hear them say I was a wonderful husband and an excellent teacher who made a difference in children’s lives.” Juan says, “I would like to hear them say, ‘Look! He’s moving!’” Ladies and gentlemen, hobos and tramps, Bug-eyed mosquitoes and bowlegged ants! I’m about to tell you a story I’ve never heard before, So pull up a chair and sit on the floor. Admission is free, so pay at the door. One fine day, in the middle of the night, two, dead boys got up to fight. Back to back, they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise, and saved the lives of the two dead boys. If you don’t believe my lies are true, ask the blind man, he saw it too! On Our Mind: CMU CMLA meeting on Wednesday.

Jokes You Can Use: Bus Tour The Elevator On Our Mind: Google Phone: A Call from Dr. Tatom Eileen Award To Robert in Ukraine From our Listeners: Hey guys, I saw on this week’s podcast notes that someone was talking about screenjelly. I love using screen casts to communicate with staff and parents, so I am always on the look out for the next best thing. However, if your school is like mine, then the firewall might prevent using screentoaster or screenjelly. I did, however, find a great java based site called screencast-o-matic. http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ It works well even through the firewalls.

How do we motivate young learners to produce language and apply their learning in authentic settings? With technologies such as Skype, blogs, wikis, Voki, Voicethread, and Glogster, our young learners can use language beyond the classroom. With Internet technologies, young learners are able to share their stories with relatives and peers worldwide. In this presentation, learn about these amazing Internet tools and see real-examples of young learners having fun sharing their creations.

Once a week, I get up early with the birds, make a cup of coffee and listen to your podcast in silent reverence. Actually, scratch that. I get up with my two little ones, plug in my headphones as I run around trying to get ready for the day…but your show does have a Zen quality that calms me down and gives me confidence to face the day with my MS students. I do have a question…next year, I am implementing a 1:1 notebook program with our middle school students. What resources would you recommend as I start staff training in using moodle and notebooks in the classroom? I know this is a huge question…but to whom else can I turn in my time of need? Thanks guys and keep up the good work. We also discuss New Tech High Schools.

Observation #1: At an awards assembly in a 5-8 middle school, the principal asked the 300+ student body to hold up and wave any awards they had received during the presentation. As I glanced around the bleachers, it seemed that everyone had something to show for their accomplishments. But I wonder if this is too much. If everyone is rewarded, how effective an incentive can recognition be? At college graduation ceremonies, academic excellence awards such as Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude and Summa Cum Laude are marked individually with sashes or cords of various colors. And you don't tend to see the entire graduating body displaying this accomplishment. And yet, they have all met the undeniably outstanding goal of a college education. They are beaming with self-esteem regardless of whether they were displaying the adornments of high academic success. If we are truly preparing students with authentic content and experiences, shouldn't we be clear on the reality that everyone does not earn honors, an award, or a certificate for doing what is already expected of them as students? Every single child is a winner just by virtue of them learning both academic content and life skills as they attend school each and every day throughout the school year. Shouldn't we be stressing self-management and recognition of worth instead of tying it so heavily to extrinsic displays of pomp and circumstance? Observation #2: Following streams of students receiving one certificate after another, I would have expected to see recognition for a teacher's success as well. From the students' view, one would believe that teachers are neither striving for nor attaining success on a regular basis in their own lives. Yet, how many teachers during a marking period or school year attend seminars and workshops or pursue ongoing academic fulfillment in graduate courses? If we are acting as role models to our students, don't we need to do a better job reflecting our commitment to ongoing education and love of learning? What role does our school administration have in this process?
