— Family Communications

K-1 0 favorites 0 promising practices https://www.pbs.org/parents/rogers Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:48 share

How It Works

Celebrate 50 Years of Mister Roger’s Neighborhood through this interactive site that gently engages and guides young children. Watch full episodes, take a look at some of the behind the scenes clips, or upload and share your Mister Roger’s Neighborhood memories. Each portion of this website brings information that shares and promotes the timeless teachings of this classic American show.

In the Classroom

Include clips and videos from this site as part of lessons on responsibility, community, and compassion for others. Include links to videos using a bookmarking tool like Symbaloo, <a href="/single.cfm?id=11744">reviewed here</a>. Symbaloo is an excellent tool to use with younger students due to the use of icons that make it easy for even non-readers to access information. Encourage students to be good helpers by taking pictures of students helping others in the classroom. Use PhotoCollage, <a href="/single.cfm?id=18310">reviewed here</a> to create a collage with your images to share in your classroom. Have students share their stories of how they are a good neighbor using a simple audio podcasting tool like Synth, <a href="/single.cfm?id=18458">reviewed here</a>. Synth is an extremely way to record and share soundbites of up to 256 seconds, then assemble the recordings into a podcast to share with a link. Students and parents will love hearing these short stories of good deeds in your classroom!

How It Works

Here’s a research-based site that will interest teachers working to improving their proficiency with technology or administrators who need better information gathering tools. This Rand study offers suggestions on effective survey design and administration techniques, the unique factors present in web and e-mail based surveys, and a look at the attractive speed with which researchers can develop and collect information using these technologies. For those who depend on accurate responses, this could be useful information.

How It Works

Children’s illustrator Keith Haring offers some surprisingly detailed lessons for primary students in this collection. Haring is a man of few words and many images, so the lessons have a particular appeal for beginners.

Children’s Literture

K-5 0 favorites 0 promising practices http://www.childrenslit.com/ Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:48 share

How It Works

Here’s a children’s literature database coupled with an ongoing service to keep reading teachers and others aware of new releases and events in children’s literature. The monthly features and booklists are freely available; members also have access to an extensive MARC book listing catalog and a searchable collection of reviews.

In the Classroom

Visit the Features link to explore some of the outstanding offerings, including a collection of Themed Reviews organized by topic, a Meet the Authors and Illustrators section (containing contact information for visiting author programs), and an impressive collection of teaching guides and materials. All book reviews include age recommendations. A "Kids’ Resources" link provides an annotated list of kid-friendly sites that can be safely explored by students.

Book Talks - Quick and Simple

— Nancy Keane

K-5 0 favorites 0 promising practices http://www.nancykeane.com/booktalks Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:48 share

How It Works

Nancy Keane has collected thousands of short (sometimes very short) book descriptions into an easily-accessed collection for use by elementary librarians and reading teachers. You will probably want to augment many of these if your book talks need to be more than a minute or two, but they can be a great starting point.

How It Works

Educators who have lamented the demise of the AskERIC service will welcome its new incarnation, offering a robust, up-to-date collection of theme-based educator resources, and wealth of lesson plans, and archives of past questions.

How It Works

Network architectures aren’t typically the stuff of K-12 curricula, but more teachers are now being required to understand at least the fundamentals of computer network topologies. With that in mind, we pass this one along both for its depth of content and its organizational structure, which seems ideally suited for those who are entirely new to the topic. There’s a lot of content here, and the organizational structure makes specific topics easy to find.

How It Works

Here’s proof that education is a challenge everywhere. In this article, a British researcher suggests that traditional top-down education innovation and reform efforts might be supplanted by facilitating peer-to-peer sharing of innovations - a sort of global teachers’ lounge. It’s an interesting perspective.
