<p><strong>Honorificabil—huh?: 5 Vocabulary-Building Apps</strong></p>

Download <a href="http://www.professorword.com/" target="_blank">ProfessorWord</a> on your classroom computer(s); run it whenever you bring up a website on the classroom projector and voila! Any time you run across a vocabulary word students don't understand, <b>simply click on the word and view the definition.</b></p>
<p><b><img id="img-1359557197386" src="http://onlinegrad.marygrove.edu/Portals/133299/images/vocabulary-building-apps2.png" alt="vocabulary building apps2" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" border="0" width="176" height="63" name="img-1359557197386"/>Lingro</b><br/> This program is a fantastic <b>ESL tool</b> for native Spanish speakers or native English speakers learning Spanish. Access the <a href="http://lingro.com/" target="_blank">Lingro</a> website, type in the URL you want to visit, and <em>Lingro</em> will make every word on that site "clickable," allowing students access to <b>instant Spanish translations.</b> Students can collaborate, look back at recent words, and more.</p>

We can see a multitude of classroom game possibilities too.</p>
<p><b><img id="img-1359557269753" src="http://onlinegrad.marygrove.edu/Portals/133299/images/vocabulary-building-apps4.jpg" alt="vocabulary building apps4" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" border="0" width="81" height="80" name="img-1359557269753"/>Word Root of the Day</b><br/> While we're on the subject of root words, we love <em>this</em> site that would provide a great way to <b>start the day in any English class.</b> <a href="http://membean.com/wrotds/plic-fold" target="_blank">Word Root of the Day</a> is one of the most visually attractive, informative, interactive, and interesting platforms to <em>see</em> how roots help "grow" our words.

Did you ever think the words "Fun" and "SAT Vocabulary building" could go together? We didn't either until we found the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/sat-vocab-mindsnacks/id494140836?mt=8" target="_blank">SAT Vocab - Mindsnacks app.</a> Your students will get addicted—and this is one technology addiction we can fully support.</p>
<p>Try these new apps out on your students and see what they think. We suspect that your vocabulary building lesson plans will be even more effective when you use engaging tools your students can use both at school and at home.</p>

<p><a href="http://info.marygrove.edu/MATblog/bid/90368/5-Classroom-Management-Apps-Every-Teacher-Needs-to-Know-About">Last week</a>, we shared 5 of our favorite <b>classroom management apps,</b> but like you, we’re always looking to find the best possible tools we can—and why wouldn’t we, especially when there are so many free resources at our fingertips? If you’re looking to <b>reduce your paper trail</b>, <b>keep parents in the loop</b> and find more efficient ways to <b>manage your students’ behavior</b>, we’ve got 5 more apps you might want to add to your classroom management arsenal.<br/><br/></p>
<p><b>5 More Indispensable Classroom Management Apps<br/><br/></b></p>
<p><a href="http://www.threering.com/learn_more/"><img id="img-1359470260618" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/classroom-management-apps1.jpg" alt="classroom management apps1" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" border="0" width="266" height="103" name="img-1359470260618"/>Three Ring</a><br/> Want to ditch the notebooks and archaic filing system once and for all? Want to capture Jimmy’s first presentation or Greg’s behavioral, ahem, challenges so you can better articulate yourself during parent-teacher conferences? Now you can.</p>
<p>Simply <b>snap a photo or record a video or audio clip</b> and file away. And if you are so inclined, email your “classroom artifact” to students and parents so that they can stay up to date and even comment on their file. </p>
<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smart-seat/id420586734?mt=8&ls=1">Smart Seat</a><b><img id="img-1359470288242" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/classroom-management-apps2.jpg" alt="classroom management apps2" class="alignRight" style="float: right;" border="0" width="138" height="184" name="img-1359470288242"/></b><br/> This app’s simple drag-and-drop feature allows you to <b>create random or customi</b><b>za</b><b>ble seating charts</b>. But there’s more: Smart Seat gives you the ability to record and export <b>attendance</b>, choose random students for <b>class participation</b>, jot down <b>student notes</b>, and store student photos all in one place.</p>
<p>Taking a day off? <b>Generate a PDF version</b> or email your seating charts (with photos) to the substitute teacher. If that wasn’t enough, Smart Seat even has a built-in <b>"flashcard" feature</b> that allows you to upload pictures of your students so that you can quickly learn their names.</p>
<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remind101/id522826277?mt=8"><img id="img-1359470328002" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/classroom-management-apps3.jpg" alt="classroom management apps3" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" border="0" width="92" height="163" name="img-1359470328002"/>Remind 101</a> <br/> We know how important it is to nurture relationships with parents and keep them involved, but how do we do it? Remind 101 is a website that provides teachers with <b>a secure way to text or email students and parents with updates and reminders.</b> Here’s how it works:</p>
<p>Teachers set up classes on the Remind 101 site which generates a unique code they can share with students and parents. Once students or parents send a text message with the code, they become “subscribers.” If you have concerns about sharing your personal phone number, rest easy. Teachers will never be able to see their students’ phone numbers and students will never be able to see theirs’ either. </p>
<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id436682059?mt=8">Stick Pick</a>If you’ve ever had a student protest that you’ve called on<img id="img-1359470396641" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/classroom-management-apps4.jpg.png" alt="classroom management apps4.jpg" class="alignRight" style="float: right;" border="0" width="161" height="160" name="img-1359470396641"/> him or her too many times or favor so and so, take yourself out of the equation and blame it on Stick Pick. Shake your phone or tap the screen to pick a student.<br/><br/>That’s not all. Stick Pick even offers a variety of <b>question start</b><b>ers</b> <b>(based on Bloom’s taxonomy)</b>and records how well students respond during classroom discussions. Let’s say that Jenny consistently scores high on the questions; simply change the difficulty of the questions to ensure that she stays challenged and engaged. </p>
<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id389584618?mt=8"><img id="img-1359470480454" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/macgyver.jpg" alt="macgyver" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" border="0" width="92" height="127" name="img-1359470480454"/>Teacher Kit</a><br/> It’s no stretch to say that teachers are a lot like <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://rdanderson.com/macgyver/home/home.jpg&imgrefurl=http://rdanderson.com/macgyver/macgyver.htm&h=162&w=121&sz=1&tbnid=Yg296_VB97jcHM:&tbnh=162&tbnw=121&zoom=1&usg=__1AsrFvGlR15oLcvyyt0Ri7WTHkg=&docid=3qOcHZSyZRiyFM&itg=1&sa=X&ei=u7gGUY3mI4Kh2QXW44G4Cw&ved=0CJABEPwdMAw">Macgyver</a>: They’ve got to work with what they’ve got and often improvise on the fly. But what would Macgyver be without his trusty Swiss Army knife? Teacher Kit is the self-proclaimed “Swiss Army knife” of apps that will help you organize, monitor your students’ behavior, and keep track of grades. Here’s a video tutorial that will walk you through every nook and cranny of the app. (Mullet not included).</p>

Learn how to facilitate global education and inspire student leadership in local and global communities with social digital media tools.<br/><br/> <br/><strong>Full Session Description (as long as you would like):</strong><br/><br/>Launched in 2000, TakingITGlobal (<a href="http://www.tigweb.org">www.tigweb.org</a>) hosts an online multilingual community of youth from around the world who use social networking to create positive global change. Young leaders logging in to TIG inspire each other to make a difference, learn about issues that matter, and find opportunities to constructively channel their energy and ideas into action. With a growing membership of over 412,000 individuals in every country of the world, the TIG site reached over 5 million people last year alone. TIG’s mission is to empower youth to understand and act on the world’s greatest challenges. This mission is being accomplished through TIG’s online community and through its platform for schools, TakingITGlobal for Educators (TIGed).<br/><br/>TIGed is host to a community of over 7,900 educators in 135 countries who are interested in empowering their students to think and act as world citizens. Visitors to the site will also find a collection of resources that facilitate the inclusion of global perspectives in the classroom, and a virtual classroom and collaboration space designed for international learning partnerships. Members can start their own collaborative projects with other educators they find in the community, or they can engage their students in TIGed-organized programming in three key areas: global citizenship, environmental stewardship, and student voice.<br/> <br/>In this session, we will:</p>
<ul>
<li><span>Explore the importance of global awareness and citizenship;</span></li>
<li><span>Browse the educational tools and resources available through TIG’s online learning community for young global leaders;</span></li>
<li><span>Explore how you can benefit from TIGed's community of globally minded teachers, resources, and virtual classroom spaces;</span></li>
<li><span>Navigate through the available TIGed programs and initiatives;</span></li>
<li><span>Explore how to integrate the study of global issues into the classroom through the use of virtual tools;</span></li>
<li><span>Discuss the power of global collaboration and social networking in facilitating student-led learning and engagement;</span></li>
<li><span>Build confidence in using online tools in our classrooms to facilitate engaging, interactive, global learning; and</span></li>
<li><span>Discuss how to find the support that you need moving forward to take your classroom global.</span></li>
