The teacher demonstrates alternative behaviors to help you change these ineffective approaches.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In this podcast, Suzan Patrick says that the United States spend more money than the other countries in the world (except Switzerland) but there still are huge disparities between kids. Those disparities are based on the neighbourhood they live in, the family's background... It is also because there is a real lack of teachers in some subjects. This last point is really hard to solve. For example, in Georgia, there are 400 high schools and only 89 qualified physics teachers !</span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<div style="font: 16.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">That is why, Suzan Patrick says that online classes are a great solution to all those problems. It also give some flexibility and satisfaction to teachers : they feel that they have more than one at one interactions with the children, they can work with every child individually, and use time to support children to work on groups. For the students, it is also a good thing : they are going to be able to take more responsibilities, and to be connected with great teachers.</span></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">But to establish online classroom, teachers need to be prepared to teach online : someone has to teach them how it works and how to do their classes on it. </span></div>

<br />
I think that it is important for a teacher to continue to learn, thanks to the deep learning of their subjects, teachers are even more able to teach properly. A good teacher makes a good program, and it leads to a good student.<br />
According to me, SSTI can also reinforce their commitment in teaching, they focus more on their goals and they feel more concerned.<br />
SSTI is a good thing to improve the teachers' technics in teaching. Thanks to this program, they can share (in team) what they learnt: it is a good way to distinguish what worked and what didn't in their way of teaching. They can mix their ideas and their experiences in order to try to reach an ideal way of teaching.<br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Georgia; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">During this semester, we have learnt about teaching with technology ... so, we have learnt how to use some tools that we can use in teaching. It's making the class more interesting, interactive and funny :) It also makes the students closer to the new technologies.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Georgia; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<li style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Georgia; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font: normal normal normal 28px/normal Georgia; letter-spacing: 0px;"><b></b></span>Voicethread : It tr<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">ansforms media into collaborative spaces with video, voice, and text commenting.</span></li>

<li style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Georgia; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Podcasting : online audio content that you can download through the internet. </span></li>
<li style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Georgia; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Blog : It's a personal website in which we can express ourselves, share information, discuss subjects with people around the world or exchange ideas with another class abroad.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">I didn't know those tools before, but voicethread is my favourite one. We had fun in using it and it is a great solution to teach at a distance, every one can comment or add something.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">There are 3 websites in which w</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">e can chat with native speakers :</span></div>

<br />
<ul>
<li>to put intonation + rythme in your voice</li>
<li>to make gesture, mimes + facial expressions</li>
<li>to speak slowly + repeat</li>
<li>to have an eye contact with the audience</li>
<li>to make pauses</li>
<li>to vary your voice : change voices, 1 character = 1voice (don't change your character's voice during the story !!)</li>
</ul>
<u><br /></u><br />
<u>After telling a story</u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>play games</li>
<li>sing a song</li>
<li>act the story</li>
<li>make a quizz</li>
<li>make masks</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<u>How to make your own story ?</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<u><br /></u><br />
Choose your topic, what children like in stories ?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>animals (fable)</li>
<li>fairy tails</li>
<li>funny stories</li>
</ul>
<div>
Choose the type of your story : romantic, humorous, horror, detective ...</div>
<div>
Choose the child profile : age, boys, girls ...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When you are making a story, you have to think about :</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>how to tell the story : video, photos, drawings... ?</li>
<li>what is the language input and output (vocabulary, grammar...)?</li>
<li>what is the following activity ?</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
Then, when you are making your story, you have to</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>introduce the main character (who is nice, kind...)</li>
<li>present the conflict</li>
<li>detail the climax of the story (= the most interesting and memorable scene)</li>
<li>resolute the conflict (= how the character resolves the problem)</li>
<li>what happened in the end ?</li>
<li>PAY ATTENTION to never change the characters' clothes : the children have to be able to recognize them !!</li>
<li>PAY ATTENTION to use simple language : transparent words, simple tenses, short sentences...</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
In your story YOU MUST HAVE :</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>a <u>beginning</u> a<u> middle</u> and a <u>end</u></li>
<li>a conflict : external <u>or</u> internal <u>or</u> environmental</li>
<li>the resolution of the conflict</li>
<li>an happy ending !</li>
</ul>

<li>Socio-cultural objective (= the different way to live or talk, like "Hi", "Hello", Hey", "Good morning" ...) </li>
</ul>
<div>

Wordle si a tool called a tag cloud or a word cloud. It is a visual representation for text data, typically used to depict keyword metadata (tags) on websites, or to visualize free form text.</div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Chalkboard; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 6.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">'Tags' are usually single words, and the importance of each tag is shown with font size or color. </span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Chalkboard; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 6.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This format is useful for quickly perceiving the most prominent terms and for locating a term alphabetically to determine its relative prominence. When used as website navigation aids, the terms are hyperlinked to items associated with the tag.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Technology is more and more present in our environment, there have been a lot of changes : you can have any information wherever and whenever you want. And the educational system should be adapted to those changes in order to avoid a generation gap.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today's young people are known as a digital and technological generation and they are heavily influenced by all kinds of technology. However, in education the word "technology" has often a bad connotation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
According to the statistics of the NCES (National Centre for Educational Statistics), 80% of children in kindergarden use computers. This number increases to 97% for students in grade 9 to 12.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Schools should admit that there is a real need to teach to those children how to use computers and the internet reasonably and usefully. Teachers have to educate children using digital information and technology. But, they cannot do this without including it in their own classroom. Using technology in teaching has become necessary in order to best prepare students to their future in the new generation. </div>Claire Ruinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14966645152551746924noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333312795393420470.post-17093836017186414202012-04-07T14:44:00.000+02:002012-04-18T14:36:35.465+02:00Samy story<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baghdad; font-size: 14px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Samy is a little boy who travels all around the world thanks to his magical power </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baghdad; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Chalkboard; letter-spacing: 0px;">!!</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Once upon a time in a far far country, a little wizard boy: Samy was alone at home and wanted to try a new fate, for that he went to the immense magic cupboard and picked one without even reading the label and swallowed it.</span></div>

<div style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal 'Corsiva Hebrew'; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He really enjoyed it but at nightfall, Samy missed his parents and started to cry. He closed his eyes so hard that when he opened them again, he found himself at home with his parents who were looking for him all day long. When he regained them, they gave each other a big hug and Samy promised never to play with the fates anymore and since this day, he has been listening his parents.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">According to me, Facebook is a good social network: you sign up to share photos, videos, write articles or to keep in touch with your friends. Besides the most of them use it, and it is also practical. </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">

It can also help teachers to be connected with parents and to give them some important information (assignments, upcoming events...), or to show what their children do in class (with a diary for example).</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The teacher must create a Facebook profile for professional use only to separate his professional and private life; plus he has to show to pupils how Facebook works. </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Not to mention that the social networks used in teaching can make a course more vivid and more interesting than a traditional one.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">But Facebook might become intrusive quite quickly: when you have an account, everybody (or almost) can put information or photos of you without asking for your permission, and you cannot do anything to prevent it. Plus, Facebook is completely open, you have no real privacy even if you do not post things. Moreover, you cannot completely delete your account : it is still open to everyone and everyone can put some photos of you...</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">

<div style="font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
So, I am not against using Facebook to teach but as a teacher, we must be vigilant and pay attention to what is being asked to do for children.</div>
