Blog Post #12 - Be GLAD

-

This Blog entry is about a tool of my choosing.

Link: https://begladtraining.com/about

Description:

Be GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition Design) is a professional development model for language and literacy. This site promotes high academic achievement and college/career ready skills.

Ease of Use:

I would rate this a 7/10. You have to purchase these trainings but they seem very helpful and focused on differentiated instruction. This helps build scores and it user friendly to students and teachers.

Versatility:

I would rate this a 9/10. This is because it has trainings for teachers and students and it has ways that it includes differentiated instruction. They provide training for elementary, spanish, secondary, and pre-k. 

Use it?:

I would rate this a 8/10. While I probably wont use it as often because it is not free, it may be helpful when it comes to ELLs in the classroom or a struggling reader. It is just another source to have in my back pocket.

Conceptual Connection: 

This connects to the Grounded technology packet we talked about through table 11. Specifically the Practice section, because this site allows students to go through trainings/practices that help them learn and improve scores.

 This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT slide 2. Link:  https://www.gonoodle.com/ Description: GoNoodle is a platform that provides activities, such as brain breaks. This platform has guided videos that include dancing, singing, clapping, and interactive videos. This is very popular in younger grades and is used to transition and give some energy to the classroom.  Here is a link that has multiple channels located on the platform:  https://www.gonoodle.com/tags/6YlOrw/channels   Ease of Use: I give GoNoodle a 10/10 on ease of use. This is because the website is very organized in multiple ways. It has channels, subjects, routines, and different types of activities organized at the top of the site. It can also be trusted to be kid appropriate rather than youtube with little control in this aspect. Versatility: I give this a 7/10 for versatility. This is because it has many different types and channels of activity. that being said it doesn't quite appeal...

This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT slide 1. Link:  https://www.youtube.com/ Description:  Youtube is a platform created by Google that is used to make videos and as a social media platform. This is a platform where people can share videos that they created. As an educational tool, Youtube has many different formats of learning such as lecture, self-paced learning, visual aids, etc.  Here is a link to help teacher use Youtube effectively:  https://www.commonsense.org/education/articles/teachers-essential-guide-to-youtube Ease Of Use: I would give ease of use a 6/10 . While Youtube can be very beneficial it also can provide materials that do not suit the intention of learning. Because Youtube is created by many different users, it can often not completely fit the intended use. Due to the large amount of content on Youtube it can be hard to narrow down and choose a video that suits your classroom.  Versatility:  I will give versatility a 9/10 . ...
