WE will be sharing in two different sessions.
Session 5: Responding to Parents
“I do want to help him with his school work. I don’t know how!"
This is the cry of many parents who are indeed interested in supporting and guiding their children with school work. In an attempt to close the teaching-learning gap for the parents, this session will focus on the developemnt of mini-lessons are to teach skills or concepts to parents, based on the P-12 curriculum standards. VoiceThread (http://voicethread) is used to generate the mini-lessons. The multimedia mini-lessons hold selected photos, documents and video clips, integrated with voice over. A second language can be incorporated, as well. Key concepts are highlighted using the doodle feature. The collaboration feature is active, when effective. The lesson segments can be embedded in or linked to class websites for parents to access.
