Articles and Links 1/26
Here are a few more articles, links and posts that I have stumbled across or witnessed in action over the past week. I hope you find them beneficial.
This first link is to the Cult of Pedagogy blog. Jennifer Gonzalez shares 6 Ed Tech Tools to Try in 2016. A few of them I have heard of already and tried. I think they are definitely worth checking into.
One of my teachers shared this one with me that she was using in class when I walked through late last week. It is the Grammar Bytes! Grammar with Attitude Mooc. It is setup in a way that caters to some of the attitudes you might experience if you work with high school students. The link takes you to the enrollment page. Students will create an account and self-enroll in the course. The course has several modules that include instruction, practice exercises, quizzes, a pretest, and a posttest. It's been a good, short review for EOI and ACT.
Next up is a blog post from The Synapse blog. In this post, Education vs. Learning, the author compares the two terms and the implications of each in our lives. It is worth the read.
For those of you that believe as I do and think much of life can be explained with Star Wars references, I found this blog that has shared two sets of Star Wars Education Posters. Here is set 1 and set 2 for your reference.
These are just a few items that caught my attention this week.
