Online Resources project- Online Resources explained in http://euphrates.wpunj.edu/faculty/yildizm/courses/EP.doc Online Resources Please post min. 10 selected web resources that you would like to use in your own teaching with a paragraph annotation. Annotation should include: Name of the site Name of the organization/ sponsor/producer Target Audience it designed for When it is last updated Your suggestions for curriculum integration Copy and paste the link Interview School Media Librarian Questions for School Librarians --- Here is a list of possible questions that you can ask your school librarian. Feel free to revise the list according to the grade level of your students, your subject area or the type of project. You MUST ask the librarian the last question listed. Initial contact should be made by e-mail to verify a time to conduct the interview. Be sure to put “WPUNJ course” in the subject line of your e-mail. This will insure that your message isn’t deleted as “junk mail.” Please start by introducing yourself, and identifying the grade level and topic of the assignment. Ask for a convenient time to conduct the interview. The interview itself should be conducted via phone (or in-person, if convenient). If I were a teacher in your school… What resources would you recommend that they use? What can I do to encourage my students to use primary sources? At what age should students start learning how to cite sources? How would you go about teaching them? What citation format does the school use? Or, What citation format do you recommend that my students use? How can I keep my students from just copying and pasting? Should I let my students use Wikipedia as a source? Why or why not? What would be a good way to teach students learn how to refine their search strategy? To evaluate the sources they find? Why should my students use a subscription database rather than Google? How can students get articles that are more scholarly than popular? If this library doesn’t have enough books or magazines on my topic, what library would you recommend my students use? If I brought my students to the library for a lesson, what would you teach them? How far in advance should I notify you of an assignment? Why? Required question: What would you like other teachers to know about the school library? Required personal response- What did you learn from the assignment? How will you use the school library in Future?
Digital Story Telling- Literacy Autobiography
DigitalStorytelling Powerpoint
For this project, you will compose a reflective literacy autobiography that includes one or more of the following components:
Media Review
Your first recollections of reading/writing/literacy experiences; interview family members, etc., to refresh your memory, if necessary. Include titles and impressions of the first books you remember reading. Include any samples of your early writing (some people save these things) or descriptions of stories you remember having written at a young age. You may include photographs, writing samples, images of book covers, etc.
Elementary, middle and secondary school literacy experiences (be reflective and "dig deep"). Do you remember reading groups? Describe any books you remember reading in school, your own progress (above grade level, at grade level, below grade level). Do you remember any exciting events at your school or in specific classrooms that involved or were planned around books? Did you have "speech" contests or other types of performance-based literacy events at your school?
Personal introduction and description of your previous and current home literacy environment, culture, attitudes and daily oral and written literacy practices. Do you read for pleasure? What types of books? How often? Who are your favorite authors? What do you write, when do you write, what are the purposes for which you write? What types of reading materials do you have in your home? What are the literacy habits of others who live in your home?
How previous and current oral and written literacy experiences impact your current attitudes, practices, uses and literacy instruction (reading, writing, oral language use) in the classroom (be SPECIFIC using real life examples and application). We "are" what we have experienced as far as literacy is concerned. Bad experiences often leave negative feelings toward reading/writing. Positive reinforcements help us learn what to value. What is the current BIG picture for where you are in your own literacy development and what factors do you feel account for your present behaviors?
If you had to take your past experiences, reflect on your present literacy practices and develop a "philosophy" describing your own personal views regarding literacy, what would you say? Take this opportunity to synthesize and verbalize your literacy/ teaching philosophy. Use poetry, music, art as needed.
