Share out—what is new in your schools?
Please Do Now: What is one good way to ensure that professional learning is effective?
Sharing answers
Think about the word “Vocabulary” Use graphic organizer to list synonyms, antonyms, related words, and illustrations
Break into 4 groups to explore online vocabulary resources
Create visual to explain your group’s web sites to everyone
Dan, Kayla, Joy had Lingro and Shahi
Snappy Words creates a web that shows words related to, synonyms, antonyms, etc for words you enter
Word Hippo—has resources for word use but too many ads—too distracting; Wordnik has unrelated pictures; they like Dictionary.com better than these
Mathwords—too cluttered, overwhelming for kids; Math Dictionary for Kids—click on discipline, click on term, it shows images and information that goes along with the word
Which of these resources would you share with your teachers?
Math Dictionary is popular with the group
Snappy Words—have students create a graphic, then compare with the ones on the Snappy Words site
Also check out ‘21 Digital Tools for Teaching Vocabulary’ on link on A.C. Wiki
Working on LiveBinder
Quotation Mingle—move around and share it with another; write their quote down.
