Applis pour le vocab!

Digital Resources for Elementary FI
http://goo.gl/A1ADNC



There are lots of great apps and websites that Elementary FI teachers can use to build vocabulary and create engagement. Without enough words, students have difficulty expressing their ideas, but traditional vocabulary activities are often dull and uninspiring. This use of technology can spice up a lesson, and in some cases offer affordances that traditional exercises cannot!

Further Conversations about FPPoL

Looking Closer - Integrating Aboriginal Content and Ways of Knowing
http://goo.gl/uPb8Lt

This second session was offered in the context of our district's curriculum implementation days. It was an opportunity to extend our discussions which we began in the session on First Peoples' Principles of learning.

We explored:

"How can I include Aboriginal worldviews, content, and pedagogy into my teaching in respectful, authentic, meaningful ways? Where can I find resources to do this in my class?"

Advocacy in Action
http://goo.gl/F7azc3

This presentation was offered (with co-presenter Nancy Sharkey) as part of the BCTLA's webinar series. We explored why Admin reports for Teacher-librarians can be an effective tool for advocacy and we looked at what might be included, and what "unorthodox" formats might work best. (The link is to the slideshow, with speaker's notes for additional links.)

Encyclopedias are a great way to build context for students. I use this slideshow to promote the many features of WB, the three levels and the three languages.
