The document discusses moving towards a paperless classroom by reducing the use of paper-based activities. It asks teachers about their current paper use and reasons for wanting to reduce paper consumption. It then provides some low-tech solutions like using individual whiteboards and publishing assignments digitally using tools like Wikispaces, Google Docs, Edublog and Pinterest instead of printing. Resources for learning more about a paperless classroom are also mentioned.
The document discusses implementing a paperless classroom. It introduces the benefits of allowing teachers and students to connect, collaborate, and communicate more effectively without paper. It describes using a "suite" of digital tools across devices like iPads and laptops to share materials online. Tips are provided, such as being organized with folders and file naming, creating reusable templates, and distributing PDFs for easy annotation. Examples are given of actual classes using these paperless strategies.

Differentiated instruction in the lote classroommmebrady
This document provides an overview of Jennifer-RichWalter's model of differentiated instruction. It defines the essential elements of curriculum as content, process, and product. Content is the material being taught, process refers to how students make sense of the content, and product is the assessment. The nature of the student is also discussed, including a student's readiness, interests, and learning profile. Readiness reflects their current knowledge, interests are what they enjoy learning about, and learning profile is their preferred style of learning.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Amanda Brown and her graduate students on the state of research regarding effects of program type, teacher personality, and language background on second language classrooms. The presentation covered comparisons of standard, intensive, and immersion language programs; the role of teacher personality; and a review of student and teacher perceptions of non-native English speaking teachers. While research on some topics like the impact of personality is inconclusive, intensive programs appear more effective than standard, and both students and teachers perceive benefits and limitations to non-native teacher status.

This document provides an overview of the importance of considering the audience when giving a presentation. It discusses how having an audience benefits the presenter by providing purpose, focus, and opportunity for feedback. The audience also plays an active role by engaging with the presenter's ideas, which increases learning opportunities and motivation for both parties. The document then outlines presentational and interpretive speaking benchmarks for Novice to Advanced language levels, providing examples of presentation topics and interpretive listening activities.
Using the common core standards to improve world language instructionmmebrady
The document discusses using the Common Core State Standards to improve world language instruction. It begins by asking participants to write a short press release describing the CCSS. It then provides a definition of the CCSS, stating that they are nationally benchmarked standards designed to set high expectations aligned with college and career readiness across all subject areas. The document goes on to list several CCSS standards that are already addressed in world language instruction, such as writing narratives, revising work, and using technology. It provides an example lesson plan for teaching about a famous Latin American figure that incorporates writing, reading, speaking, and language standards. It concludes by listing some resources for the CCSS.
This document provides tips for teacher organization including collecting student papers, numbering materials, organizing by letter groups, using electronic lesson plans, binder clip organization, and noting sources for teacher discounts. It suggests a variety of organizational strategies and resources for classroom success.
The document discusses getting students to write with more complex sentence structures than just subject verb. It was written by Tracy Brady, a teacher at East Syracuse Minoa. The hashtag #superlecny and Twitter handle @mmebrady provide context that this was a tweet about teaching writing skills.
Canada's flag features a maple leaf which has represented the country's nature and environment since the 18th century. Canada's population in 2011 was 33,369.
