What is Newsela?

Newsela is a service aimed at helping teachers find current events articles that are appropriate for their students' age and reading abilities.  One of the most challenging aspects of nonfiction reading is finding nonfiction text at reading level.  With a wide range of reading levels in each class, it almost feels impossible at times to find nonfiction texts to meet the needs of all of your students.  With a lack of parapros in the classroom, creating differentiated reading groups (that stay on task) also feels difficult at times.  Newsela solves many of these issues!  

To learn more about differentiated reading with Newsela and Google Docs, please visit this blog post by Beth Holland.

Why is it AWESOME?

1.

You can search by grade level, reading standard, or language.
Picture
Picture
2.
​
You can look up articles by a range of different topics.
3.
​
Once you have found your article, you can differentiate by reading on different Lexile measures that fit your students!
Picture
Picture
Picture
4.
​
You can import your Google Classroom roster to assign students quizzes and to track their reading of nonfiction text.
5.
​
Students can answer a writing prompt on the article they read.  PRO educators can customize the prompt! This is great for short-constructed responses based on nonfiction text. If your school is like ours, preparing students for our Georgia Milestones tests require a lot of constructed responses and this is perfect!

Epic! Books for Kids

Picture

What is Epic!?

EPIC! is a website and an app that offers its services FREE to educators and paid subscriptions to parents.  It is filled with thousands of high-interest stories, some that are read aloud and some that are not.  It is simple and easy to use, yet highly engaging and motivating to our little readers. 

Here is how it works.  As the teacher, you set up a profile for each student in your class by typing in their name.  Then your students makes some choices on their interests and the app/website creates a personal library for them.  As the students read from this library, they earn badges and little images to change their profile avatar.

Picture

Why do I love it?

EPIC! is based on the child's age and interest.  And this is what gets them excited!  As they log for the first time, they must tell their age.  Then they pick some topics that they are interested in reading about, such as: adventure, fantasy, sports, humor, etc.  The next screen breaks those choices down into even smaller categories.  For example, if they pick sports as a broad topic of interest, the next screen allows them to decide if they want to read about basketball, hockey, dancing, etc.  Each child gets their own personal library!

Students earn badges as they read. This was an aspect I liked about Biblionasium as well. It really helps to motivate some of our more reluctant readers in addition to the high-interest reading material.

EPIC! keeps track of all the activity and reading done by each student.  Teachers and students can see all the books that have been read, the number of finished books, hours spent reading, and number of pages flipped. Which helps us as teachers know if a child really read a book or was just flipping through it to read quickly.

How can I use Epic! in the classroom?

One of my favorite aspects of Epic! is I can import my students from Google Classroom, which are already setup at the beginning of the school year. This makes my life SO much easier!

On the sixth day of sharing...Wonderopolis!

What is Wonderopolis?

Wonderopolis is a free website that provides high-interest nonfiction content and a "Did you know?" for each "Wonder". The best part is that there is a new one everyday! This teacher resource is perfect for addressing our Georgia Standards of Excellence.

"Wonders" are great hooks to get students engaged in learning. While the videos captivate student attention, the question of the day can serve as lesson starters and prompts for class discussions or research lessons.
​
Wonderopolis also allows you to search for topics and browse by categories. This would allow you to search the archive for a Wonder that supports the lesson you have planned.

How can I use this in the classroom?

  • Use the wonder question as a journal prompt before reading the answer, then go back and write in the journal what you learned about the topic.
  • Explore nonfiction writing traits/styles by analyzing the author's writing
  • After researching a topic, create and publish your own wonder using ChatterPix, Tellagami, or Google Slides.
  • After students watch the video and explore text, create an open ended response question that requires students to use information from the video and text to support their ideas; You can model first by writing aloud as a group.
  • Ask students to teach a partner about a wonder to practice summarizing and finding main idea.

Great lesson ideas:

On the fifth day of sharing...GoNoodle!

What is GoNoodle?

Go Noodle is a revolutionary educational site that promotes movement and brain engagement in the classroom with imaginative games, videos, brain breaks, and activities.  Activity videos include stretching, calming, dancing, and sports. Even though there are premium accounts available, the free account provides a great deal.  Disclaimer: I have not purchased the premium version, but have played around with a teacher friend's account to test it out. 

Using GoNoodle in the Classroom

My favorite ways to include GoNoodle in the classroom:
Picture
To Calm
During those times with students have a little too much energy or on those days where we all need a stress relief, GoNoodle's calming activites are just what you need.  My personal favorite is the oh-so-charasmatic Maximo who leads fun yoga videos.  However, with the holiday season in full swing, I love Melting, a calming video which focuses on breathing techniques by relating breathing to melting ice.  
To Energize
Our students need frequent brain breaks in order to learn best.  This is probably what GoNoodle is best known for and for good reason.  With so many fun, engaging options, it's hard to choose!  From Koo Koo Kangaroo to Moose Tube, there are so many fun videos that your students will never get bored or used to the same videos.  Most videos in this area have choreographed, directed dances so it makes it easy for even the most reluctant students to participate. 
Picture
Picture
To Learn
Event though the majority of GoNoodle is completely free to educators and parents, there is  a GoNoodle Plus version which offers a ton of resources connected to ELA and math standards and learning objectives like Mega Math Marathon, where students actually run an entire marathon (over several visits) while answering math questions on a topic you choose or Bodyspell, a kinesthetic spelling activity.

The BEST thing about several of the GoNoodle Plus activities is that you can customize them with your own questions, making GoNoodle Plus a perfect for tool for reviewing your curriculum!
To Play
I saved the best for last!  We all know those days where that lesson you spent forever planning ends a little too early or you have those extra five to ten minutes at the end of the day when your students are too tired to listen to story or maybe too excited to listen to one, or you're too tired to corral them to the carpet to listen quietly, or there has been a never-ending rain attack on your sanity so there has not been recess in four days...GoNoodle is there to save the day!  The Indoor Recess Mega Mixes are perfect!

PebbleGo

What is it?

PebbleGo is a kid-friendly, searchable database that covers a variety of topics: animals, earth and space, biographies, and social studies.  They are divided further into topics and subtopics. Every subtopic presents a five-part report with text, photos, videos, links to similar topics, printable assessment sheets, and a correct citation.

Features

  • Kid-friendly design
  • Easy to search
  • Easy to navigate between tabs
  • Option for read aloud
  • Optional extensions such as maps, videos, and images enhance the information and learning experience
  • Most articles (science and social studies) are aligned to CCS

How can I use it?

In general, you can use these databases to teach kids about research, reporting, and citing. Through this, you can present new topics while also introducing new vocabulary. Kids can do research on their own or in small groups, in the classroom or at home. At this agae, students would benefit from more guided searches and specific assignments (e.g., Go find out about the life of Dr. Seuss and report on what you learn) using graphic organizers as you are teaching the research process. 
Kids can write, draw, or talk about what they've learned. They can fill out printable worksheets, define key words, or share with their peers. Kids can also share their reflections on their research process ("First I started with animals, then I found that animal communication was really interesting and I clicked there…"). If you're looking for ideas or inspiration, the pre-made lesson plans can help you in the creative lesson-building process.

As with the research process, I always emphasize the importance of sharing what you learn with others. Using one of the graphic organizers PebbleGo shares or creating your own will help students as they decide on what information is important enough to share with their learning community.

ChatterPix Kids

Introduction by ChatterPix

Why will I love this app?

ChatterPix is an amazing tool which allows to students to share their learning with others and connect across the globe with the sharing option.  I love when students can take ownership of their learning and show off their personalities and voices in their projects.  It is amazingly simple to use, which makes it a perfect app for beginning technology users.  I recommend this for K-2 students, though I think even adults would have fun playing with it!

Here is an example my daughter made at home (because like her mother, is a total technology nerd) about her animal project from school:

Example Lesson for ChatterPix

This is an example lesson plan I made for 2nd grade tying into social studies and writing standards:

Biblionasium

What is Biblionasium?

Biblionasium is a reading-focused social network designed specifically for kids ages 6-13. With Biblionasium, students build their very own book shelf – a safe space to keep track of what they’ve read and what they want to read. Within Biblionasium, students can share and receive book recommendations from the classmates, get coaching from fun mascot Chip Manzee, and be motivated by custom reading challenges.

Why Biblionasium?

Short version:
Humans are social by nature.  Giving students a voice in their reading community is essential for a life-long love of learning. The more students discuss and share what they are reading, the more they will read. 

Long version from Biblionasium:
Biblionasium is a fun and engaging reading community that will help you connect to your students outside of the classroom.  You can setup your favorite books and recommended lists on virtual bookshelves that will be available to your students at all times. Students can email you their reading logs instead of handing them in on paper; you can set up fun challenges and rewards that will help encourage your students to keep reading, and you can set up a reading list that the students won’t lose. It brings children together and gives them a chance to easily recommend books to each other.


Biblionasium offers numerous benefits to educators:
  • Reading program customization and differentiation: With Biblionasium, you can tailor reading programs to the individual needs of each student. You can even administer programs and fun reading challenges by group, class, grade, individual student, or reading level.
  • Easy, effective data tracking: Actionable data is finally at your fingertips. Biblionasium provides reports that track what each student is reading and at what level, using Lexile® measures. Reports are available for groups, classes, grade levels, or individual students.
  • Student-to-student support network: Students are encouraged to recommend their favorite books to their classmates, receive reading ideas from their friends, and generally interact with reading material like never before.
  • Simple organization support: No more lost notes or reading logs; with Biblionasium, everything is stored online. Better yet – it’s all accessible online anytime, 24/7.
  • Entertaining, positive, and immediate feedback: Chip Manzee, Biblionasium’s reading coach and mascot, helps students understand good reading behavior while motivating them to succeed. Additional positive reinforcement opportunities are available through fun games and reading challenges, with built-in support for goal- or reward-setting.
  • Collaboration with parents and family:  Foster a strong connection between the library, the classroom, and home with Biblionasium. Biblionasium allows parents to stay connected to educators by accessing their child’s recommended, required, and favorite book lists. Parents and family members can take an active role in motivating students to read.

Biblionasium and Follett

Picture
One of the best parts of Biblionasium is that it is now partnered with Follett (our online catalog)! When students make reviews of books we have in our library, it will now show up for others to see when searching in our catalog.  This makes Biblionasium an even more authentic learning platform for students because they can help others in our school find books by reviewing books for our students, staff, and parents. I can't wait to try this out more during our spring semesters.

Parents can join in too!

Unlike Accelerated Reader where students cannot access their information or take quizzes from home, students are able to access and participate in Biblionasium from home.  By accessing the site at home, a love of reading can be fostered in the home as well as in school.
Teachers, please feel free to use this letter to send home to parents so they can participate as well.

Scaffolding Resource

Our students often need scaffolding for typing answers online because this is new to a lot of them.  I created a book review sheet for students to complete during a lesson, Writer's Workshop, or morning work before they can review a book on Biblionasium.  I think this helps model the expectations of what to write online and how to stay in an academic mode when socializing on an educational website (because we all know the moment students get to go online, they tend to fall into the 'lol' zone).  Switching between academic and social language is a difficult skill to learn.  By giving students an outline of expectations first, we are helping them learn that when they are online, there are different expectations when typing for an educational purpose and when playing POV games with friends.

The Hour of Code

Picture
Did you know this week is Computer Science Education Week?  To celebrate, the Hour of Code began several years ago and has become a world wide phenomenon.  While many of us complete the Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week, the Hour of Code can happen anytime during the year.  It is a time to just celebrate the creativity and critical thinking required to learn how to code in a fun, engaging way.  The resources at the bottom of this page have some really fun games to learn coding.  However, if you want to tie in coding with your lesson plans, there is one in particular for third grade called Multiplication Escape in which you code your own math game.  There are also unplugged lessons (where you do not need technology access) you can use to learn sequencing, problem solving skills, and more!  I could see this being turned into a Writer's Workshop tie-in if you have them write an informational piece on how to play a game or maybe write their feelings about playing the Hour of Code.  Google is also hosting a fun holiday themed coding event this month where they post a new coding game each day.  My favorite has been the Code Lab where students can learn the movement of directions and building a game with a fun holiday theme, but there are a lot in Santa's Village to choose from! Going along with another math resource, there is one with coding your own snowflake, which could be tied into a symmetry lesson.

If you want to know more about coding or how to use it authentically in your classroom, I would be more than happy to work with you!

The holiday season is my favorite time of year! It is the time of year when we can all come together under a common ideal and put our selfish tendancies aside to focus on sharing, learning, and growing with others.  There is just something special about this time of year...

It is also the perfect time of year to share with our students, teachers, and community!  So in honor of the holiday season, I wanted to create a little holiday cheer by sharing 12 resources I think are awesome!

Check back tomorrow for our first resource!!

2016 Georgia Educational Technology Conference

12/2/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
I admit it. I am a conference addict. As educators, we all have our 'thing'-Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, an IV of coffee continuously pumping Caramel Macchiato into our veins, those little bars of Hershey goodness hidden in the back of our drawers so nobody sees...but mine is conferences. Specially the awesome kind. Which GaETC is. 

While I have attended GaETC before, this year I was blessed to have a paid registration fee from receiving the Technology Innovation Grant last year. 

While there a great many things I learned this year, here are my top takeaways:

#1
Presenting!

PictureGetting ready to present in the largest room EVER
One of the things I love most about attending conferences is presenting. I really love being able to share the good, the bad, and the ugly with other educators to show how easy (ok...and super hard) project-based learning can be BUT I also love getting feedback from others outside of my 'people.'  It's always nice to see how other grade levels, content areas, districts, etc. could use the project and offer their own input to make it even better.  It's the heart of collaboration as educators. 

I'm new to Richmond Hill Elementary School this year so many of my coworkers may not know this, but I was one of four GaETC Technology Innovation Grant recipients in the state of Georgia last year. Under the grant, I was able to co-teach a semester's worth of 7th grade biology with an astounding classroom teacher in an inquiry-based teaching model with Google Classroom.  While Kayla, the science guru, taught the traditional science standards, I was able to come in and help with research and information literacy skills. Students created new organisms using stuffed animal parts, applied their knowledge of biomes, adaptations, food chains, and food webs to their new organism, and then wrote children's books about their new organisms.  Students loved writing their e-books and once the project was finished, we took a field trip to the local elementary school to read our books and discuss the writing process. It was an amazing experience for me as an educator, but also an authentic, real-world inquiry-based project for our students. 

As part of the grant, I presented the project to others and was able to attend the conference for free. All of the resources for the presentation and the project can be found here.

#2
Networking

Picture
Educators are a special type of professional who often lack networking opportunities, especially those of us in the library field.  Conferences are a wonderful, authentic way to connect with other educators and meet with our PLN (professional learning network) from Twitter.  Because there is often only one media specialist in each building, it's essential we connect with other media specialists across our district, state, and around the world to discuss our ideas, projects, frustrations, ah-ha moments, data, and our daily lives in schools.  I have been lucky enough to develop a really supportive PLN through #tlchat, #mslibchat, and #istelib, but there are so many more groups on Twitter you can meet with depending on your needs and desires in a PLN. While I was teaching in a one-to-one district, my PLN consisted mainly of #1to1teched and #1to1techat.  If you are interested in tracking down a Twitter group for yourself and to view the official Twitter Education chat schedule visit here.

Besides meeting up with PLN members from Twitter, having fluid, authentic moments spark from sessions is one of the most essential aspects of going to conferences for me.  It's easy to get bogged down in session timing, schedules, and trying to pace from one side of the arena to the other, but we really need to take that moment to talk to the neighbor next to you before a session starts, speak with presenter afterwards for questions or clarification or just to say 'good job!'  During one session on Flipgrid (I'm sorry that I don't remember the name), I was sitting next to another media specialist from Augusta, Georgia.  It turns out we were both looking to start a Flipgrid project with our 3rd graders in January and that is why we were in the session! Now we are connecting online and our two schools will connect through Flipgrid as part of their social studies projects. If we had been in our own little bubble, we would have never connected like that. 

#3
Vicki Davis

If you have been hiding under a rock in the blogging world, you may not have heard of her, but Vicki Davis (aka CoolCatTeacher) is a local Georgia girl who has been a shining light of awesome in my teaching/library career.  In a world where there a million and one technology apps, websites, and ways to learn through technology devices, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and not know where to start.  When I started teaching almost a decade ago (boy, that makes me feel OLD), her idea of focusing on THREE things to learn and use in a school year made all the difference to me.  Each year, I have tried to focus on three technology tools to become an expert on and it has changed my life.

She was a main presenter at GaETC (sessions can be found here), but my favorite presentation of hers was on Technology Driven Differentiated Instruction.   I will never understand, with all of the technology we have today, why we are still not talking about this enough.  With Google Classroom, Seesaw, and so many more amazing apps, differentiation should be easy to incorporate into our classrooms.  But it is also easy to forget to connect with kids on a personal level when we on our devices all the time as well.  One of my main focuses as an educator (whether when I was a teacher or now as a media specialist) has always been developing relationships with students.  How do we expect to know how to teach our students or include their voice in our libraries and classrooms if we do not get to know them more than just their names and behaviors in class?  That is really what Vicki was getting down to in her presentation, which I think is important when we are enhancing our lessons with technology. We need to remember who are students are as individuals.

#4
​Seesaw

Where has Seesaw been my whole life?  Ok, my professional, educator life? I felt like at GaETC, Seesaw was a huge buzzword...and once I went to the session "Using Seesaw in the K-2 Classroom" presented by Serena Gable and Mary Harris, I could see why.  It felt like an undercurrent I couldn't really see until I actually learned what it was.  Seesaw is an an interactive digital portfolio that includes web, video, and audio content, and offers immediate response capabilities. There are also many levels of sharing available in Seesaw, so the teacher can determine which assignment responses are visible to parents, other students, or even administrators.  In the session I attended, we acted as students, navigating through assignments and submitting work that was automatically added to our portfolio. As students, we loved the various options and its user-friendliness; as teachers, many of us were eager to incorporate this tool into the classroom.  If you have not checked it out, do it. Do it now. And you can thank me later.

#5
Chris Craft

For those who know me well, or maybe even have just glanced at my Twitter or blog, know my obsession for all things Google.  Last year during my professional development sessions, teachers would start a chocolate eating contest where they had to take a bite of chocolate each time I mentioned Google. But I digress...

Chris Craft is the Google Guru. I met him at the Google Playground at ISTE, but he is an amazing speaker to listen to and learn from so I went to as many of his sessions as I could.  I have been wanting to start the Google Certified Educator program, but with getting my specialist degree, it's always being put off. He has renewed my desire and I think I will definitely do this once I graduate in May.  If you would like to see his presentations, visit this link, but I highly recommend the Top 10 Chrome Extension and Getting Geeky ones!

#6
Learning to Fail

In our educational culture we have created through standardized testing and evaluations based on great observations, it's been indirectly taught that failing is not ok. It has been absorbed into the hearts and minds of our students and our teachers.  It is our jobs as educators to teach that failures can be just as exciting as failures as we are innovating and to create a climate in our classrooms, libraries, and schools in which failure is an option and how to learn from our failures.

“If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.” - Ken Robinson

​So thank you to our keynote speaker, Josh Stumpenhorst, for being so inspirational and showing this video. Innovation means taking risks. If we want our students to learn to create, being innovative, and thrive in questioning everything, we need to create a culture that emphasizes taking risks.
I was so thankful to be able to go to GaETC this year to bring back some ideas for our teachers and for our technology specials, but this year I really focused on finding ideas for transforming our library into a learning commons. More information to come on that later! 

See you next year, GaETC!
