To discover more about cultural awareness in schools, visit the websites, watch the videos, or listen to the podcast posted in this Padlet. These resources will assist educators in gaining a better understanding of global and/or cultural awareness, diversity, supportive learning experiences, and civic involvement. Also, there are resources teachers can use to teach these topics in their own classrooms. en-us 2022-05-10 23:48:33 UTC 2022-05-11 22:41:53 UTC hello@padlet.com jonalyncurameng https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2178470154 The eSchoolNews website is a credible website that educators can read to learn and understand how culture can impact students' learning ability. An article on this website, entitled "How Does Culture Impact our Ability to Learn?" is an eye opener for us teachers in the classroom to reconsider how we plan and prepare our lessons. Then, in the implementation of our lessons, we need to make sure that visual aids, graphic organizers, sentence starters/frames, and lesson activities are culturally responsive or diverse. According to the study, teachers can progress toward academic equity in their classroom by understanding the impact of culture, adopting a student-first approach, and generating numerous points of interaction with the same subject.]]> 2022-05-11 00:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2178470154 jonalyncurameng https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2178490969 This website is full of resources educators can use in their classroom to educate students about the importance of learning and taking civic possibilities even in digital life purposefully. The digital civic toolkits found on this website will help the students, especially the youth who are now starting to recognize, learn more, and explore their identities and communities online. The Toolkit explores various civic possibilities and dilemmas through the five modules focusing on Exploring Community Issues, Investigation, Dialogue, Voice, and Action. These modules are assured to best meet the interests and needs of your students, classroom, and community. The modules were originally created for high school students, however, they can be altered for students in lower grades. Each module includes a topic or discussion starter, numerous activities, and a concluding reflection with broad recommendations. You may need to incorporate additional scaffolding and supports depending on the age and level of your kids. There are links to extra exercises if you want to delve deeper into ideas.]]> 2022-05-11 00:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2178490969 jonalyncurameng https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2178499685 The students believe that their social, cultural, and personal roots vastly differ from their current classroom experiences or school lives. Therefore, in this Tedx Talks video, Manuel Hernandez, an ESL instructor in New York City, an educator, and an author, discusses how multicultural students wanted to learn but were inhibited by how the classroom materials were not relatable to their own cultural experiences. By watching this speech, educators will be able to establish the purpose of culture, assess and construct an inquiring and reflective attitude toward their teaching profession and its usefulness in improving English language abilities; and use elements of culture and identity to learn English. ]]> 2022-05-11 00:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2178499685 jonalyncurameng https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2178540582 2022-05-11 01:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2178540582 jonalyncurameng https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2180113571 This website complied several videos that are age- appropriate for the early elementary level. There are also ready-to-use resources teachers can use in their lessons. These video resources on this page are helpful for teachers who are starting to teach about diversity to their children. As they begin to notice that everyone may look different, it is essential to instill the importance of celebrating diversity in these young learners. Educators should show the children that everyone is unique and special in their own way. These videos on this website can definitely help students learn more about diversity. I would recommend using these videos as part of lesson presentations, especially in Social Studies subjects, during the cultural month, International Day, or the Asian Heritage month celebration. ]]> 2022-05-11 21:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2180113571 jonalyncurameng https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2180141209 Touchable Earth is a website showcasing videos of kids from around the world that encourage the learning of global citizenship, culture, and appreciation for all people. These videos are brief and wonderfully created, showing children from around the globe teaching other kids about their country and culture. To learn, teachers ad students can watch the videos together as a class to explore each country or have kids explore on their own. Though there are very few teaching supports, teachers can still plan and create their foundations and learning extensions. These short videos or movies could be used in various ways, such as assigning students to research traditional clothing from throughout the world and create a presentation to share with the class. Teachers can also direct children to compare and contrast their lives with another country or culture. Children can also learn more about the geography, culture, language, history, festivals, religion, and other aspects of one of the highlighted nations. The featured countries are China, India, Nepal, Russia, Syria, Mongolia, South Africa, Iraqi Kurdistan, and Romania. ]]> 2022-05-11 21:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jonalyncurameng/Bookmarks/wish/2180141209
