Marc McEwan- Portfolio May 2012
Marc provides concise summaries of 3 teaching documents:
1) His teaching philosophy focuses on getting to know students, promoting independence, and collaboration.
2) Sample lesson plans include a kindergarten bug unit, an elementary story writing unit, and a middle school history lesson on trade between Europe and the Americas.
3) Examples of assessments include a US regions test, a unit assessment on The Headless Horseman story, and a modified history test on industrialization.
Kamloops.indigenous lit circles
An morning presentation on literature circles without roles, for primary, middle and secondary, using Indigenous texts. A grade 6/7 example using visual journals is included.
Types of wikis
The document discusses various ways wikis can be used in educational settings. It provides over 50 examples of how wikis can be used for resource creation, student collaboration, group projects, student interaction, the classroom, and the community. Some key uses include virtual field trips, study guides, peer review, tracking assignments, teacher collaboration, and writing a book or textbook collaboratively. Wikis allow for flexible uses like project housing, global collaboration, and showcasing student work.
Blogging for Educational Purposes
The document discusses three types of blogs that can be used in language classes: tutor blogs run by the teacher to share course information, class blogs as a collaborative space for teachers and students, and learner blogs as individual student spaces. It provides guidance on starting a classroom blog, such as choosing an easy platform, teaching netiquette, keeping posts short, informing parents, using correct grammar, not grading blogs, challenging students, and giving the blog time to be effective. Potential uses of classroom blogs include providing reading practice, guiding students to resources, enhancing literacy and writing skills, encouraging shy students, stimulating discussion, creating an online portfolio, and building relationships between students.
Clicker në klasën tuaj
The document describes various ways that the Clicker software can be used in the classroom, including creating talking books, building sentences, labeling activities, and more. Some of the key capabilities mentioned are using grids for word banks, building sentences in a forced order, adding pictures and text to create personalized resources, and recording accounts using a microphone. The document provides many ideas for how teachers can incorporate Clicker into their lessons across subjects to engage students at different levels.

This document discusses various online tools that can be used in the classroom, including:
1) Blogs, wikis, and online word processors for collaboration and sharing work.
2) Storybird, ToonDoo, Kyolo and Xtranormal for creating animated stories and videos.
3) Social networks for breaking down classroom barriers and sharing text and media.
4) Notely for taking notes across devices and Bubbl.us for creating diagrams.
Web 2.0
This presentation surveys the tools and technologies that collectively constitute web 2.0, and explores ways of applying them in an ELT context. The defining characteristic of web 2.0 is that users of these social technologies are actively involved in communicating and collaborating with each other as they build connections and communities across the web, so these technologies can easily be harnessed for use in language learning.
Moving beyond the static website, the web 2.0 technologies that we explore are dynamic and interactive, providing opportunities for learners to engage in language production in numerous forms and contexts, creating as well as consuming content.
We suggest creative ways to use facilities for chat, both in text-based forms like instant messaging and discussion boards, and in voice-based technologies such as Skype. Writing can become a collaborative project through the use of wikis and blogs, and listening can be practiced through podcasts and vodcasts. Sites such as Youtube provide limitless access to authentic listening material, while Teachertube offers more focused activities for language practice.
Many of these technologies can be combined in a single platform to allow communication in a range of media, integrating skills and providing access to authentic English in a wide variety of contexts. Social networking sites offer numerous facilities to support communication which can be restricted to a defined group of users or allow learners unlimited opportunities for international communication. And social sharing or bookmarking facilities such as Delicious allow language learners to chart their progress across the web, labelling, categorizing and sharing their experiences.
Some of the technologies that we consider, such as virtual learning environments, are quite complex and time-consuming to use effectively, but we also offer many practical suggestions that can be implemented quickly and easily, extending and enhancing the experience of our students.
Historical Figures
The document outlines a unit plan for a 3rd grade social studies project where students will become experts on historical figures. It describes 5 lessons where students will: choose a figure, research using books and online, create a Fakebook page as their figure, contribute a wiki page with information and images, record an interview podcast as their figure, and write a story presenting what their figure would be like today. Tools used include Audible, Fakebook, wikis, and Slideshare. The justification explains how each tool helps students comprehend and apply their knowledge in creative ways.

In the last 10 years there has been much speculation about the role of e-books and e-book readers. This presentation looks at the impact of e-book readers on publishing and reading, the types of e-book readers, their advantages and disadvantages. Weblogs
Blogs can be a useful tool for education by promoting critical thinking, collaboration, and reflection. They allow authors to instantly publish ideas, questions, and links to engage readers and ask them to think and respond. When used in education, blogs can enhance curriculum by facilitating inside and outside classroom collaboration. They also support different learning styles and build relationships between students, teachers, mentors, and professionals. Blogs have been used successfully as class portals, for novel study reflections, as online filing cabinets, e-portfolios, and collaborative spaces.
