Go to The Melissa Institute to learn more. Did you know that 85% of youth in trouble with the law have reading difficulties? The Institute’s mission is to prevent violence and promote safer communities through education and application of research-based knowledge. What is the connection between violence prevention and a literacy website? Evidence shows that students who do not learn to read on level by 3rd grade are much more likely to develop low self-esteem, drop out of school, and engage in antisocial and aggressive behavior. The good news is that literacy failure is preventable! Thank you... We want to thank all of the generous contributors who have made the development of this website possible.

The Question Matrix by This is a blog about questioning students in lessons. “Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?” Morpheus – The Matrix Film – 1999 A couple of years ago, I first blogged about Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce! In my adaptation of PPPB, I added my own twist to teacher-questioning, by introducing the characters from Winnie The Pooh. My resource can be downloaded below. Full Circle: As a result of sharing my interpretation of PPPB, geography teacher @JohnSayers then wrote this blog; Asking Questions and tweaked the resource into this useful matrix. • to clarify • to challenge assumption • to evidence for argument • to gather viewpoints and perspectives • to predict implications and consequences • to question the question. I firmly believe John’s blog and interpretation of Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce is why the questioning matrix are so popular today.

Mr. Lane's Class Why Web Literacy Should Be Part of Every Education Like reading, writing, and arithmetic, web literacy is both content and activity. You don’t just learn "about" reading: you learn to read. You don’t just learn "about" arithmetic: you learn to count and calculate. You don’t just learn "about" the web: you learn to make your own website. As with these other three literacies, web literacy begins simply, with basics you can build upon. Our Information Age began, for all intents and purposes, in April of 1993 when the Mosaic 1.0 browser made the World Wide Web available—for free—not just for use but for contribution and participation by anyone with access to the Internet. No one would have believed that peers could contribute knowledge and advice, helping one another to learn through YouTube videos, Wikipedia, or other sites. Why haven’t we had an educational revolution that takes advantage of this human quality that we now have proof exists? Web literacy explains the world we live in and gives us the tools to contribute to that world.

Food in Spanish After a few weeks off the Spanish Clubbers were eager to finish their latest video demonstrating their newest learning in Spanish – food. Can you tell what they like and what they don’t like? Can you find out what the Spanish for ‘I like’ and ‘I don’t like’ is? Which Spanish food words can you learn? La Comida from Ian Hayslop on Vimeo. Holiday Debate Topic Should schools have shorter holidays so that children spend more time learning?
