Réalisation de Book Trailers par les élèves Au cours de cette année scolaire 2013/2014, le groupe DocTice des professeurs-documentalistes de l’académie de Besançon s’est lancé dans l’aventure collective du Mooc. Le but affiché était de fédérer des professeur-documentalistes autour de plusieurs thématiques et de les faire travailler ensemble à l’élaboration de séquences pédagogiques. Nous étions donc dans un cas de figure où les inscrits co-construisaient leurs savoirs et savoir-faire au fur et à mesure des travaux. La présentation complète de ce Mooc a fait l’objet d’un article de Sophie Bocquet le 16 décembre dernier. Je vous propose ici de découvrir la séquence issue de mon groupe de travail dont voici le résumé : La lecture constitue un élément clé pour la réussite éducative, sociale et professionnelle des élèves en particulier au sein d’un lycée professionnel.

Teacher Training Should Start Before iPad Deployment Professional Development Teacher Training Should Start Before iPad Deployment ELL instructors, like those in other disciplines, are discovering the benefits of iPads in the classroom. With some advance planning and appropriate training for teachers, schools can avoid an awkward or stressful deployment. When iPads suddenly populate English language learner classrooms, teachers often face a steep adoption curve. Bloom, who also teaches an iPad training session for ELL teachers, said that even before they begin to use iPads in their classrooms, the first step is to get the devices into the teachers' hands and then allow a minimum half-day training session. Bloom's training regimen starts with an overview of the iPad's features, then moves on to "everything they needed to know about the device and how to use it." Teachers should receive iPads at least a week or two ahead of their students, said Connolly.

The School Library Media Specialist: Information Access & Delivery The teacher librarian sustains a healthy collection through an effective maintenance program. I hate to throw things away. How do I know when something should be pitched? There's a really old video on first aid that the fifth grade teacher is still using. It's inaccurate in some sections. The collection must be examined periodically to determine what materials need to be repaired, replaced, or removed. You also need policies that help you in the reconsideration process. What is weeding? Weeding or deselection is selection in reverse. For example, the book on the left titled Space Flight: The Coming Exploration of the Universe by Lester Del Rey (1959) was found in the science section of the library. Purging is officially withdrawing an item from the collection. A policy is an important part of the weeding process. What happened to "The Wizard of Oz"? Weed now or weed later? The answer to this question is WEED NOW! How do you deal with guilt over tossing materials? Weeding involves guilt.
Assistive technology for kids with learning disabilities: An overview - Assistive technology By Marshall Raskind, Ph.D. , Kristin Stanberry Assistive technology (AT) is available to help individuals with many types of disabilities — from cognitive problems to physical impairment. This article will focus specifically on AT for individuals with learning disabilities (LD). The use of technology to enhance learning is an effective approach for many children. Additionally, students with LD often experience greater success when they are allowed to use their abilities (strengths) to work around their disabilities (challenges). This article will introduce parents to the role of AT in helping their children with LD. What is assistive technology for LD? AT for kids with LD is defined as any device, piece of equipment or system that helps bypass, work around or compensate for an individual's specific learning deficits. In general, AT compensates for a student's skills deficits or area(s) of disability. AT can increase a child's self-reliance and sense of independence.
