This week, I subscribed to Feebly, an online feed reader that organizes information from the web into one place. A few categories I set up to organize my favourite topics are: Education Resources and Yoga!
Two favourite education resources I discovered are:
- Ted Ed
Ted Ed consists of short educational videos. This site is an offshoot of the Ted Talks, with videos designed specifically around educational topics.
I watched a cool video about the air we all breathe – this feels especially relevant in the era of global warming and the season of the covid pandemic and continual mask wearing. We need to think about our air!
- Teach Thought
This site offers a wealth of teacher resources including quotes, inspirational and ideas lists, podcasts, workshops and webinars.
I read a great article about Reciprocal Teaching, where students take on both roles of teacher and learner within small groups as a method of improving their reading comprehension. I love collaborative learning approaches, and I like encouraging learning that involves using multiple areas of the brain to help solidify understanding and information consolidation.
I am looking forward to using Feebly! I have never used this app before and it’s cool to try something new! It’s got a great set up – right off the bat, it seems very organized and easy to set up! The one downside seems to be that the search options seem limited without paying for a subscription. For example, when I went to search for #naturekids (a topic I am very interested in), it said nothing was available without a subscription.
Hello Dani,
Thanks for sharing the video on what’s in the air and the article on reciprocal teaching. Reciprocal teaching is new to me, and I will be reading more on that. With regard to Feedly, I am also looking forward to using it. I agree that just like most apps, you cannot have full access if you do not subscribe.
