12 Affective listening activities (by Juan Uribe) – Teaching Village

12 Affective listening activities (by Juan Uribe) – Teaching Village | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it
From www.teachingvillage.org - December 7, 2012 1:11 AM

"It’s a great pleasure to share affective listening activities here at the Teaching Village. I call them affective listening activities because emotions are very present in the movement, suspense, and laughter they produce. These activities also promote an engaging atmosphere that sparks creativity, enhances attention, and activates students’ memory. Last, they present alternatives to include pronunciation, intonation, and imagination through listening in our classes. These guidelines can be used with recorded stories, movies, and even with songs."

How writers can learn to accept criticism

How writers can learn to accept criticism | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it
From drsaraheaton.wordpress.com - May 14, 2012 8:27 PM
These tips are intended help novice writers learn to take criticism from instructors, peer reviewers and editors.

 

Start with the assumption that your work can be improved


The biggest mistake writers make is assuming that once they have submitted a piece of writing, that is finished… and perfect. This assumption sets the writer up for a frustration and anger when it is returned with a request for revisions. It can be helpful to approach your writing from the point of view there is always room for improvement.

UtellStory is a new service for creating and sharing audio slideshows. To create and share your story through UtellStory you can upload pictures, add text captions, add audio narration to each slide, and upload a soundtrack to support your entire story. Completed projects can be embedded into your blog, emailed to your friends, or shared through your favorite social networking sites.

UtellStory can be used for students to create and share short stories. Would be suited to students in Years 4-12.
Katrina Elliott's curator insight, May 13, 6:49 AM

UtellStory is a digital tool that allows students to create and share short stories.  It allows students to embed into a blog or email.  It provides the option to upload images, add text and audio to each slide.  This program would be suitable for middle-upper years and provides oppertunities for students to capture and communicate findings or ideas through the use of digital tools (ACARA, 2012). It is more advanced and engaging than the usual powerpoint presentation.
Jenni Atkinson's comment, May 20, 8:54 PM
I think students would find this tool very engaging and it is a great way to differentiate assessments allowing students a choice of presentation tools.

9 Tools to Create E-magazines and Newspapers for Your Class

9 Tools to Create E-magazines and Newspapers for Your Class | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - December 3, 2012 11:14 AM

I am pretty sure as you introduce the idea to your students everyone will want to have a say in their next e-magazine. There is nothing much more rewarding to students then to have a proof of their hard work recognized in a publication of some sort.

 

Most of the tools cited here are easy to use and have user friendly interface and they will let you create your own e-magazine or newspaper in few simple steps. Yet I would recommend your discretion as you use them with your students.
