What's a ThingLink?
My September 4, 2013 "Graphic Organizers" post used a web 2.0 tool called ThingLink. ThinkLink helps images come alive by embedding video, links, and information within an image. It is a great way for teachers to give information to students and also a fantastic way for students to show learning by creating their own.

Thank you for such a vital topic, Chandra. Turn and talk, like many accountable discussion forms, helps our English learners "rehearse". This is especially useful before writing down their thoughts. In some cases, they have trouble finding the word for what they want to express and a partner is a beneficial social support. Once they feel safe with a partner, they may be more comfortable sharing with one person rather than being singled out. Some of our ELs are hesitant to participate in such a "public space" and therefore never share their brilliance with others. "I can discuss ______ with a partner." "I can evaluate my partner's reasoning using criteria on a rubric." Love it!
ReplyDeleteTori, thank you for adding how important turn and talk is for ELLs. The partner support is beneficial in students processing information as well as having them practice academic conversation. Thanks again for your contribution!
