"What is the best advice you would give to teachers trying to help their students become better readers?"
Professors Stephen Krashen and Richard Allington contributed their responses in last week's post. Today, I'm lucky to have contributions from two other educators, thinkers, and writers who have also had a major impact on my teaching (and, I'm sure, on the work of many other teachers), Nancie Atwell and Cris Tovani.
"Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers to engage their classrooms through a series of educational games and exercises via smartphones and tablets. Our apps are super simple and take seconds to load and run. Teachers control the questions and games on their laptop, while students respond and interact through their smartphones/laptops. Run it as an app or on any web browser."
(via @presentationzen) The modern Japanese martial art of Aikido (合気道) has many lessons for us about dealing effectively with everyday challenging situations, including difficult questions and difficult people. Aikido means "the way of spiritual harmony" and was established in the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba. Aikido is practiced on the dojo but it also offers us everyday life applications of harmony and peace that extend far beyond the mat. Aikido is an effective response to conflict as well as an approach to living and way of life which seeks to promote harmonious solutions.
