LIVING IN A DIGITAL WORLD

Don’t believe everything you read. Not everything online is true. In fact, there’s a lot online that’s not true. Before believing (or sharing!), dig deeper. Search for facts. Just because it’s written online doesn’t mean it’s true.

Have you been to MiddleWeb?

Middleweb.com is a website full of information from various bloggers designed to support teachers in grades 4-8. They have excellent posts that will get you thinking and give you ideas that you can use with your students.

I really enjoyed a blog last week about rigor with EL students. The title is "Keys to Keeping the Rigor High for ELs" by Tan Huynh.
