A short week followed by a lovely two-week break - I'm so lucky!! Though, I will be knuckling down to some PGCE work during that time! Hope everyone has a lovely Easter - whatever you may be doing.

un problema que le encuentro es muy grave en el estado de Kentucky es las consecuencias de utilizar carbón como combustible fósil.…

For an assignment I watched a youtube video entitled "A Vision of K-12 Students Today". I thought the video was really interesting. To me the point was that the way we teach children today is archaic and outdated. The video was not all encompassing of all educators or an attach on teaching, but a simple message from students themselves that many classes are not relevant to their lives or future aspirations.  The methods, assignments, and way we deliver information as educators does not…

Hello Parents,I am a new teacher to the school and it is a joy to have your child in my class for my first year teaching. I hope that we can have a good clear communication between us so that we are able to enhance your child's learning experience.I will do a weekly blog that will ask you to help me assist your child with certain lessons we will be covering.

•    Establishing norms/guidelines for student blogging (student blogging contracts, parental involvement, inclusion of district AUPs or "acceptable use policies," etc.)

                      Before students begin blogging independently, they need to be given a tutorial by their teacher about the responsibilities associated with using social media, and the ethical and safety concerns social media can present.  They should become familiar with the school’s…

 10 More Ways To Use Blogs In Your Classroom

1. Quote of the day discussion blog. I will post a quote of the day and students can analyze the quote and discuss what it means and lessons they can apply from the quote.

                                                        Place to find a quote of the day on every topic: …

I found the video " A vision of K-12 Students Today" very insightful.  It was interesting to see how much time our students are spending using technology. Even though the clip focused on college students, I think it is safe to say that this also applies to younger students as well.  I teach third grade,and it amazes me how many of them already have their own cell phones, ipods, ipads, tablets, etc. Put this with the amount of time my students spend…

El programa: En Philadelphia hay un programa, se llama el Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger, que trabaja con Puentes de Salud.  Puentas de Salud es un programa que lucha para el salud de los hispanoblantes.  Ambos, los programas ayudan la gente que son elegible para el programa de comida del U.S.D.A (un programa gobierno).  Las familias que no son elegible para el programa de comida recibe comida al centro de Puentes Salud.  Las familias completan 4 horas de servicio comunidad…

El artículo: Elijé un artículo diferente que los artículos en el pasado.  Este artículo enfoca en el impacto de los servicios sociales en la comunidad latina.  El autor discute la población latina que está creando en los Estados Unidos y hace eso muy rápidamente.  El autor dice que los trabajadores sociales y otros profesionales necesitan el conocimiento para comprender y ayudar el población.  Los latinos tienen necesidades diferentes y problemas diferentes que otras culturas en los Estados…

Articulo: Este articulo es muy informativo, habla sobre los cadáveres que se encuentra en el sur de Arizona más específicos en el desierto. Dice que la cifra de cadáveres que llegan a la morgue va incrementado. Quieren identificar a todos los cuerpos pero es difícil, porque no hay datos de muchos de ellos. Mexico trabaja con los…

Durante mi visita a la clínica hice diferentes tareas. Primero tuve que presentarme como la intérprete a la paciente y luego a la terapéutica. Entramos a un cuarto muy chico, apenas cabíamos las tres. La terapéutica le pregunto a la paciente como se sentía, que si tenía algún dolor. Después fuimos a la sala de terapia. Ahí es cuando empezaron los ejercicios, la paciente sufría de dolor en la espalda. Cuando empecé a interpretar se me…

Dear Colleagues!

Some time ago I searched the Internet for online games dealing with the visual arts. and made a collection of links for my Swedish students. Maybe this could be of interest for someone also in the English speaking world? Please have a look:…

I learned from this weeks videos that I have a lot to learn.  I was not surprised to find out that I am a digital immigrant, but was shocked to learn that I still have several old ideas about teaching and the way students learn.  I have a decent amount of technology available in my classroom, but I don't make good use of it.  I know my students would benefit from more whole group lessons using the whiteboard, more small group lessons with the laptops, and more one on one time with the iPad. …

            According to Education Week (2010), “The term ‘21st-century skills’ is generally used to refer to certain core competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving that advocates believe schools need to teach to help students thrive in today's world.”  While the exact skills and resources can be debated, all educator’s agree that 21st century classrooms provide students with the resources and knowledge that they need in order to be…

I am working on adding an application that will allow me to create polls for different subjects! These could be anything from which subjects are your childrens' favorites, or simply what your family does in it's free time! Check back soon to see what the question of the week is!

             Esta reflexión fue un poquito difícil para mí porque un gran parte de una entrevista son las inflexiones de la voz.  Por algunas partes yo no sabía exactamente qué intentó decir Guillermo del Toro.  Además, a veces cambia lo que a decir o no contesta la pregunta exactamente.  Por ejemplo, cuando le pregunta si El Hobbit está completamente terminada, responde que terminaron los guiones y describe el proceso actual. 

            Además, el significado de la oración que…

En la traducción de la entrevista, se encuentran algunas dificultades en la coordinación de significado del idioma fuente al idioma meta, por ejemplo, con la palabra, ‘disco’. ‘Disco’ puede ser traducido en varias maneras, incluyendo el baile, la forma material del disco compacto, o la compilación de canciones de una artista musical. En este contexto, el último significado se parece correcto, pero ¿cómo se traduce al inglés? Simplemente, podemos traducirlo al cognado ‘disk’,…
