Seesaw

Online Learning Journal that can be downloaded on various devices. Students and teachers can post and comment on their work and other students' work. Seesaw can also be set up so parents can see their students work.

Scratch

You and the students can code in the target language. You can create learning games with code too! This tool is collaborative and fun!

Movie Talk

MovieTalk is a great way to present your students with a broad range of vocabulary in an engaging manner. It provides comprehensible input because students are seeing images (instead of written translations) of the structures as you describe them. It is an excellent way to provide differentiated instruction, because student will pick up on whatever they are able to based on their current level of language ability. Beginning students will pick up a few words, since most words will be new to them, and advanced students will pick up on the few new words to them and will notice grammatical constructions.

Technology and Computer Science Clusters for Grades 6-12

Cluster 1: Information and Communication - Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.

Cluster 2: Computational Thinking - Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.

Cluster 3: Digital Citizenship - Students recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they act and model in ways that are safe, legal, and ethical. They will recognize the community, global, and ethical impacts technology and computer science have on society and the world.

Cluster 4: Collaboration - Students use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally.

Cluster 5: Empowered Learning - Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving, and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.

Cluster 6: Innovation and Design - Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.
