Three Takeaways from the last class!!!




1. Unite for Literacy was absolutely amazing and all I can say is WOW!!! This was definitely one of the most valuable resources shared in our final class. It is so beneficial for teachers, students, parents, and absolutely amazing for home-based learning!! I'm sure there are many people out there like myself who did not know this type of resource was available!!

I love that you can actually listen to and read all the books in multiple languages which is highly valuable for teachers having to assist ELL children enrolled in our school system.

The books actually eliminate so many social barriers for kids by offering a variety of topics that accommodating children from various ethnic backgrounds. This website accommodates children from different nominalities, races, genders, and disabilities. I like that you can use the search bar at the top to look up books of interest. It's amazing offering so much variety. I know I will continue to use this resource in my future endeavors.


                                                               
2. EdWeb was another awesome online learning experience for teachers. It's great to be aware of such great learning tools to aid with our movement to a more technical/virtual world. This site offers free online learning through webinars and other professional learning experiences for administrators, educators and parents as they cope and deal with the new type of web-based learning. Another amazing benefit is this site is free!! I am very excited to further my learning through this site where I will be able to continue learning to be better able to assist teaching my future students and as assist my children in their education and learning. It's ideal that you can take a quiz after each webinar and earn a certificate!!! I have already mentioned this to a few of my close teacher friends and one of them messaged me to thank me for introducing them to this wonderful resource.

3. My final takeaway from the last class was definitely READ & WRITE FOR GOOGLE

                                                           
I want to commend everyone on an absolutely awesome Presentation!! Every presentation was engaging, informative, and very well presented. It's amazing to see all the different ways we were able to put our minds, thoughts, and experiences together to come up with an amazing presentation. It's absolutely amazing how much I have learned through these presentations and seeing the creative measures taken to deliver such valuable information. We were able to deliver such wonderful tips, useful information, and a fully descriptive and comprehensive package for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of the Read & Write for Google Chrome Extension.
HATS OFF TO EVERYONE FOR AN AWESOME PRESENTATION!!!!! I'm sure we all were able to gain valuable tips and techniques from each and every presentation as they were so uniquely presented and truly beneficial!! BIG SHOUT OUT TO BARBARA WELSFORD for introducing us to this and so much much more.

    Great blog post! One of my main takeaways from Class #4 was the website Unite for Literacy as well. As a Kindergarten teacher, I could see so many possibilities and usages for this resource. I also think the best part of the website is the fact that it is available in different languages! And it is FREE! I have already told some of my friends with young kids about this website, as I am sure they will benefit from it.

  3. Hi Janine!
    I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog for class #4. I blogged about Unite for Literacy, as well. I can't say enough good things about this resource! As I mentioned in my post, I wish I had known about this resource sooner! None the less, it will definitely be something I will share with my entire staff for the coming school year. I love how it allows access for all. The fact that the books can be read aloud in all languages is fabulous. What a great resource to use with all our English Language Learners. While it allows them to be exposed to the English Language, it is something they can use at home with their family in their spoken language. Such an awesome way to get parents involved in literacy.
    Just one of the many super resources we've gotten to learn about in this course!
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Janine :)
