Using the Web to Take Virtual Field Trips By: Kennedy Schultz Helping kids learn about the world can be an exciting adventure for both adults and kids. When I teach about the chateaux of the Loire Valley in France or ancient Mayan sites in Mexico, I’m always looking for kid-friendly resources that can provide accurate information and engaging authentic pictures that hold the attention of little ones. Virtual Field Trips Since my field trip budget is pretty limited, I especially love websites that offer virtual tours and live webcams to show kids what it REALLY looks like in another world location. Live web cams are another great cultural resource. We have also found web cams of the storks roosting on roof tops in Rust, Austria, and have shared our own local webcams of Niagara Falls with our pen-pal classrooms in other countries to give them an idea of our region. Organizing Teacher Resources With all these cool resources, how do you keep track of them and retrieve them when needed?
Cooperative Learning | The Comprehensible Classroom I need to make an FAQ page. Here is one that came through today: …I was looking at your website and I was curious if you teach the “nosotros” or “ustedes” forms in Spanish 1. If so, is there a certain unit in which you teach it? Thanks! The answer is, “YES, absolutely!” As I was saying, I do free writes from time to time (normal free writes, 1-3-10 free writes, BINGO free writes…there are so many options!). I have never sat down and strategically planned when to target each subject with horizontal conjugations, but I do it often enough and early enough for me to hit each of them before I start giving verb notes…which I do give, even though it is typically frowned upon by TPRS®/CI masters. SO all that to say that, while I don’t have an exact plan for when I do horizontal conjugations of each subject, I realize that it would be helpful and even beneficial to teachers that are still trying to figure this whole thing out to have a plan.
