This stat would make an awesome discussion prompt for upper elementary and middle school students. Let's stop telling them what they think and model critical thinking by asking them what they think and what their evidence is!

I’m totally excited because we’re about to (next week or so) revisit this creative writing project I dreamed up with a Gr 5 teacher two years ago…pseudo-letters to Santa from various characters…all put together in an innovative #zine format—take a look…

Currently prepping Gr 5 team-teaching character study writing project

Inspiration: Jolly Postman books.
A sorta “zine” with
recycled envelopes (from all my book order labels) as 3 “pages”

Kids to write letters to Santa or family re: gifts wanted—but in the voice of different well-known characters…

Exactly this.

*Which* parents get choice here?

“a major step forward in putting parents back in control in what their children are exposed to.”

And again, we see them pitch their taking the choice away from parents as somehow empowering parents.

My fourth graders are researching planets. They have access to several online sites (Brain Pop, PebbleGo, Britannica School). We checked out a bunch of books from our school library as well. They cheered when I brought out the books. Way to make me love my job, kiddos.

I have thoughts on this, mostly in agreement, but am cognizant of accessibility issues. There is further discussion to be had on tech over-reliance but it has to be in tandem with what (print-based) mediums are used to teach (and how to go beyond them).

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.

24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.

The pen is mightier than the keyboard.
