This is a Grade 8 coming-of-age novel study, where students are asked to explore themes of identity, expression, conformity, and growing up. I created a slideshow for it, but I have so many links within the slideshow that pasting them all in the Wakelet helped me to organize myself accordingly, and put all of my cards out on the table, so to speak. I honestly am really glad that I now know about Wakelet, because I'll definitely be using it in the future! Can't wait to view all of your posts, and feel free to scroll through mine if ever you need assistance and want to teach an excellent book such as this! :-) ]]> 2023-02-21 18:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dadwatt/hla9upxf9tsa5ywr/wish/2490100158 Elly Verlinden - EFL Resources (Korea and beyond...) frogteacher https://padlet.com/dadwatt/hla9upxf9tsa5ywr/wish/2492448626 Hi all! Though I looked through the other options presented by Gonzalez (2023) but Wakelet was really easy to use and organize the way I liked. I wanted to curate a sort of masterlist of essential resources for someone like myself who is teaching EFL in South Korea in the public system, though most of these resources (exculding the textbook guide I made) would be useful to EF/SL teachers or teachers generally. I could definitely add more but these 5 are my sort of top 5 resources I wish I had day one of my practice!

I have created a unit plan for the chapter Flight for Grade 6. This unit deals with the concept of flight- properties of air that facilitate aviation, and its history and impact. The goal is for young learners to understand the idea in detail and to be able to evaluate its global impact. Using wakelet was really easy as it allowed me to organize the material needed for the unit in one place. Though I usually use google classroom for collecting data, this is also a great option!]]> 2023-02-24 03:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dadwatt/hla9upxf9tsa5ywr/wish/2493394779 Kelley Hopper- Creating Accessible Health Care for Autistic Adults https://padlet.com/dadwatt/hla9upxf9tsa5ywr/wish/2493995707 Hi everyone.  The topic I wished to digitally curate is Creating Accessible Health Care for Autistic Adults.  There are large disparities in accessing primary care for Autistic Adults, and they have higher rates of morbidity and mortality than neurotypical adults.  This is a collection of information that could be used to plan a seminar for students of health professions or those that are practicing on how to make health care more accessible for this population.  I decided to use Live Binder to curate my information.  I really like how cleanly it organizes the information, with tabs just like in a binder.  It was quite easy to use with several different options for formatting.]]> 2023-02-24 15:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dadwatt/hla9upxf9tsa5ywr/wish/2493995707 Danielle Fernandes - Conversation lesson resources (for EFL and more!) daniellerfernandes28 https://padlet.com/dadwatt/hla9upxf9tsa5ywr/wish/2495752299 https://wakelet.com/wake/oYTUoYBWK8Q9ZZ_81nfkQ

Hi everyone~ Here is a small collection of websites I use to inform my conversation classes. These are particularly great for EFL learners from intermediate to advanced levels.

The topic I chose to digitally curate is one that focuses on a very important skill - paraphrasing! As a student coach in postsecondary education, I've noticed that many of my students struggle immensely with paraphrasing. Many haven't had enough practice, aren't familiar with what it is and it sometimes results in accidental plagiarism. To avoid this, I've digitally curated a collection of resources (links, video, practice sheets) so that students have this information readily available and accessible. With the amount of information available online, it can sometimes be overwhelming to search and focus in on the right resources, so this curated Wakelet can assist them in that process. 

Hope you enjoy! :) ]]> 2023-02-28 17:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dadwatt/hla9upxf9tsa5ywr/wish/2498373242 Brandon Frith - Starlink https://padlet.com/dadwatt/hla9upxf9tsa5ywr/wish/2498557719 Hi Everyone, after the week covering digital equity, decolonizing the Internet and open educational practice, it brought me to look at different alternatives to connect all parts of the world to the internet.

Hi everyone,
I decided to curate a collection of travel-related resources for a French lesson that was designed to teach students in a grade 12 FSL class creative ways to practice their French writing skills. The goal of the lesson was also to assist them in familiarising themselves with various French-speaking countries, utilising their knowledge of grammatical structures and vocabulary covered in previous units to present information, and using multiple digital tools and internet resources for research and presentation.

Hey everyone,

I choose to curate some links on ESL resources for all those busy teachers who have great ideas but not the time to make the necessary materials!

The resource includes Best Practice Standards for simulation design as well as example clinical case scenarios and a simulation case template. I have also included additional resources nurse educators can provide to learners to augment their education. Lastly, I provided a link to continuing education and professional development courses available to nurse educators regarding simulation education.

I choose to curate some links for a reader response unit for Grade 6 students. Here in Quebec, Grade 6 in the final year before heading off into high school which means that there is a final exam from the ministry for all students. One of those exams is being able to write a four to five paragraph essay about a story or article they read. They need to write a summary, the theme, connections, structures and features and their judgment on the piece. These are just some links that I have either created or used with my class to help them with the process of writing that reader response.
Thanks!

My future goal is to teach early childhood education at the college level; therefore, my interests encompass the fundamental concepts of child development. Literacy skills are essential to children's development; the initial first step of language acquisition is phonemic awareness, requiring early learners to notice how letters represent sound. Therefore, I decided to curate a collection of valuable tools for educators that help children learn phonemics. This collection aims to provide educators and even parents with lesson plans, activities, games, technological applications, and additional resources that stimulate the development of phonemic awareness in early learners. 
I hope you enjoy my curated collection.
Kind regards, Nicole

Not sure what a 'chatbot' is? Don't know how to build one in a designated platform? No coding needed, you can check out these nifty resources and be on your way to chatbot-creation in no time.

What's a chatbot?
"A chatbot is a conversational piece of software powered by pre-programmed responses or artificial intelligence to answer questions without the need of a human operator" (Pickell, 2019).

Why would I want to talk about chatbots with my  high school students? How might learning to build one help their learning as 21st innovators?
  • Exploring the current use and potential future use of chatbots with your high school students is relevant as they already engage with chatbots much of the time. PHASE 1 would be to help them identify when they engage with a chatbot in order to understand what it is (customer service chatbots on a website, ordering food from a chatbot, social media chatbots, fitness chatbots, duolingo/ learning program chatbots, etc.) PHASE 2 would be to help them explore what else is possible with chatbots? How might making their very own chatbot serve them? PHASE 3 would be to explore emergent Artificial Intelligence (AI) and where the humble chatbot fits into this growing field?
  • These conversations help students think in nuanced ways about their current 21st c. world and what is to come as AI's presence will grow into every aspect of their lives. The goal is to help students envision how they might play a part in innovating the course of technologies such as chatbots/AI.

Possible high school courses where chatbot/AI learning may be applicable:
  • Media Studies, English Language Arts, Language courses, Computer Science, Social Studies.
  • Recommended grade level: 9-11
