Working with Images-Shelly Terrell

Working with Images-Shelly Terrell | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it

By Shelly Terrell

 

"Learn how images can be powerful tools for teaching. Working with images allows students to visualize learning material. Some ideas for working with images in the classroom are book scavenger hunts, visual dictionaries, and class debates. Have students contribute and write about their own photos to a classroom photo-sharing account."

Use of images has always been a great facilitator of language learning...whether in one's native language, or another. Terrell's half-hour webinar offers numerous ideas for using images as well as sources for ideas.

Exploring Empathy

Exploring Empathy | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it

What is this ability to step into someone else’s shoes? To imagine how they feel - and to hurt for them or be happy for them?  Host Frank Stasio is joined by a panel of experts to discuss empathy, the trait that makes us uniquely human.
