Refreshing methods of introducing poetry to students - Innovate My School | All things Elementary... Reading and Writing | Scoop.it
From www.innovatemyschool.com - April 2, 2014 10:41 AM
Great poetry can be the kind of art that stays with you forever, be it Mid-Term Break by Seamus Heaney or Daffodils by William Wordsworth. However, given the old-school nature of poetry means that a lot of students will need a great introduction from a teacher. James Harlan discusses some cool ideas for getting students into the artform.

50 Resources to Use Animation as a Teaching Tool

50 Resources to Use Animation as a Teaching Tool | All things Elementary... Reading and Writing | Scoop.it
From www.opencolleges.edu.au - January 19, 2014 8:51 PM

Via Ana Cristina Pratas, Maria Lopez Alvarado, MBA
Kirsten Wilson's insight:

Lots of resources for teaching as well as student product.

more...
Alfredo Corell's curator insight, January 20, 2014 12:21 PM

Some of the animation links catalogued here will give educators very basic tools and histories of animation while others have the animation already created and set in motion, it’s just a matter of sharing it with students.

Educators need to decide which tool is best for them. If you want to create your own animation from scratch, then you want to go to sites such as Animwork. If you want to select from animation that’s already set up for you then perhaps Explainia makes more sense.
