Educational Learning Opportunity: Charter Schools
This document discusses charter schools, including their mission, values, funding, populations, teaching methodologies, areas of instructional focus, performance, technology usage, and teacher responsibilities. Charter schools aim to provide educational choice for parents and students. They receive public funding but have more autonomy than traditional public schools. Charter school enrollment has grown significantly in the United States over the past decade, especially among Hispanic students.

This document summarizes research on rural virtual schooling and the roles of various participants. It finds that while distance education is commonly used in rural districts, there is limited research on K-12 online learning. Most studies describe potential benefits and challenges. The roles of virtual school designers, teachers, and site facilitators are discussed, with research finding that site facilitators who work directly with students are key to program success. Open questions remain about online learning suitability for all students.
Peace Corps Press Release
A Peace Corps volunteer in Macedonia is working with his community to replace the 40-year-old deteriorating blackboards in a local elementary school. Funds for the project will come from both the community and the Peace Corps Partnership Program. The volunteer says that the old blackboards make it difficult for students to see and for teachers to teach effectively. Once completed, the project will also create a new English classroom and provide the school with its first "SMART board". Municipal officials support the effort and will work with the school on the blackboard replacement.

Digital literacies are a critical aspect of being an active and engaged member of 21st century society, and it is important to provide English as a second language (ESL) speakers with opportunities to develop their digital literacies in English. However, pedagogy and content specifically focusing on digital literacies are routinely lacking in initial ESL teacher training. Compounding this is that in-service ESL teacher professional learning is often not focused on digital literacies or does not adequately consider the specific contextual constraints and sensitivities that in-service ESL teachers face. Therefore, a professional learning course that is focused on digital literacies and personalised to individual ESL teacher contexts is needed in order to address this gap. This paper discusses the need for in-service ESL teacher training on digital literacies and presents the nascent development of a framework that will be used to deliver personalised online professional learning (POPL) that addresses these needs. The framework incorporates four critical aspects of effective professional learning: personalisation, social constructivism, situatedness, and extended time frames.

Engaging Students In and Out of the Classroom: Featuring North Kansas City Sc...
Districts today are trying to increase student engagement in order to ultimately increase student achievement. Blended learning, the teaching practice that combines teaching methods from both face-to-face and online learning, offers a model of instruction to engage students in and out of the classroom. It has proven highly effective in helping schools and districts address the challenges of student achievement, limited resources, and the expectations of 21st century learners.
North Kansas City School District (NKCSD) shares how the district uses online learning in the classroom and beyond to provide a personalized and connected learning experience. Using a 1-1 laptop program, every high school student participates in blended learning, where the teacher utilizes online learning during class and posts assignments and discussion questions for after the bell rings. A representative from NKCSD shares how the district trains teachers and administrators using modeling to create effective blended classes.
Finally, also reviewed is how Blackboard online learning solutions help districts to enhance classroom instruction by extending their courses online for an engaging, individualized and effective learning experience.
Ready, Set, Record: Being Present and Engaging Students Online Using YouTube
During this session at the 7th Annual International Symposium on Emerging Technologies for Online Learning, learn about one instructor's use of YouTube's free and easy-to-use features for recording, editing, captioning, and embedding video into his online course. An overview of the steps for recording, editing, captioning, video in YouTube will be provided as well as examples shared for various approaches for seamlessly incorporating video into any online course.

Subcultures in The Classroom: Informing ELT, engaging students!
More often than we expect, there is a disconnect between our well-meaning efforts to make English classes meaningful to students and their โwhateverโ attitude. Is it us? Is it them? Is it the books? We will review the application of key concepts from demographics and sociolinguistics as simple research tools, and their application along with ELT strategies. As teachers, we can develop skills to replicate our studentsโ subcultures and urban tribes, so that they can contextualize English as a relevant aspect of their lives, in ways conducive to their really speaking and writing.
