| ESL etc. Updated : Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:00:28 +0000 Take Our Jobs Take Our Jobs is a project by the United Farm Workers offering harvesting jobs to unemployed Americans. The idea is to contend the allegation that illegal immigrants take “our” jobs, while also raising awareness about the food chain. Asking students to look at this initiative could be a great way to bring up [...] Publ.Date : Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:00:05 +0000 Cool Earth Infographic This great infographic from Our Amazing Planet ties together a lot of interesting facts. Scrolling town from the upper edge of the atmosphere to the bottom of the deepest ocean trench, a lot of things are put in perspective. For example, I found it amazing to see just how close to an airliner [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:27:17 +0000 Gapminder I’ve long been a fan of visual prompts. I like materials that enable quick understanding of issues, so that students can move into discussion, writing, etc. Gapminder is a great site that shows a range of statistics in very accessible ways. The main section of the site is Gapminder World. The default graph [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 13 Jul 2010 18:30:50 +0000 The Money Gusher / Oil Spill Resources The Money Gusher, George Monbiot’s latest column, draws interesting parallels between the financial crisis and the ongoing Gulf oil spill. Pollution has been defined as a resource in the wrong place. That’s also a pretty good description of the company’s profits. The great plumes of money that have been bursting out of the company’s accounts every [...] Publ.Date : Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:33:53 +0000 War Games and Oil Spills Two quick links, both from Larry Ferlazzo: War Games: Seeing Iraq Through the Eyes of Children is a powerful video slideshow depicting some of the games Iraqi children are now playing, after years of violence. And Larry has also put together a great list of sites to learn about the Gulf oil spill. Drill, baby, drill. Publ.Date : Wed, 12 May 2010 14:23:53 +0000 How I Plan a Lesson I was recently asked in an email how I approach planning a lesson. At first, I struggled to put it into words. I don’t really think there is any one right way. For me, I usually approach lesson plans the same way I approach planning courses. I start from the big picture. [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:21:41 +0000 Dropbox Dropbox is free software that helps you keep your files synced. I like Google docs, but if you ever want to edit them in something else, the formatting is a mess. Instead, I find myself emailing documents back and forth between home and work, trying to make sure I’m always working on the [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 03 Jun 2010 11:18:47 +0000 Congratulations to Global Issues in the ELT Classroom! Global Issues in the ELT Classroom, a new textbook by the Czech Republic’s Society for Fair Trade, won a 2010 ELTon from the British Council for innovation. This book uses the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals as a framework to address a wide range of global issues. The sample activities look promising, but [...] Publ.Date : Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:03:44 +0000 Downfall Downfall is a new gameshow on ABC that tosses un-won prizes off the side of a building. Cars, TVs, motorcycles smash on the street below. It is unbelievable that, in 2010, ABC thought a show glorifying such environmental and economic waste was a good idea. To make it even more surreal, it’s [...] Publ.Date : Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:01:27 +0000 Teach UNICEF Teach UNICEF is a new website that shares a bunch of UNICEF teaching materials by topic and grade level. Topics include child labor, armed conflict, poverty and sanitation, to name a few. Most topics offer materials for grades 6-8 and 9-12, and some include K-2 or 3-5. You can also browse by [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:16:40 +0000 |
