Trading Card Creator The Trading Card tool gives students an alternative way to demonstrate their literacy knowledge and skill when writing about popular culture texts or real world examples. This interactive allows students to create their own trading card about a real or fictional person, place, object, event, or abstract concept. These cards are can be used with any type of book students are reading or subjects that they are studying, and make for an excellent prewriting exercise for students who are writing narrative stories and need to consider characters, setting, and plot. Specific prompts guide student through the various types of cards, expanding students' thinking from the basic information and description of the topic to making personal connections to the subject. The save capability gives students a way to work on a draft of their card and come back to it to rework and revise as necessary, and to save their finished product to share with friends and family. back to top

Free Technology for Teachers One of my favorite parts of having a student advisory group of sixteen to eighteen years-old students was talking with them about their college and career aspirations. One of the great things about the web is that students can quickly discover and research career options as opposed to having to consult a few books in the school library or career center. Here is a handful of sites that students can use to learn about career options. Career Thoughts is a site that aims to help students make informed career decisions. On Career Thoughts students can find career profiles that outline what a person in a particular career field actually does, the education requirements for that field, salary ranges, and employment prospects. iCould is a UK-based website that features videos of people sharing their career stories. Inside Jobs is a site that offers information about careers and the training required for them.

Why Teach Conceptually It is important for teachers to ensure that students have a firm grasp on the concepts of fractions. Brizuela (2005) explored the kinds of notations young children make for fractional numbers. Theories of Cognition and Learning Frameworks Zone Proximal Development Lev Vygotsky theorizes that every individual has a Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) that varies for each concept. When students enter their classrooms, they bring with them knowledge of partitioning, fair share, and equality .
