A Punny Explanation of Savings Bonds Bond. Savings Bond. is a pun-filled explanation of what savings bonds are, how they work, and why they're generally safe investments. The video also explains what junk bonds are, why they're risky, and why some people buy them despite the risk. As you might have guessed from the title, the video is full of fun James Bond puns.  Applications for Education Bond. Savings Bond. could be a good video to use to introduce or recap a high school lesson about basic savings and investment methods. If you and your student like this video, you might want to check out some of the other videos produced by Two Cents, a PBS Learning Studios production.     Google Docs Gets an Improved Citation Option You can now search for books and online resources within the Google Docs citation tool built into Google Docs. You'll find this option when you open the Citations option from the Tools drop-down menu in any Google Document that you're editing. Open the Citations menu in your Google Document, enter your search, then click on a matching resource and Google Docs will format a citation that you can add to your document with just one click. Applications for EducationThis is a nice improvement over the previous citation tool that was built into Google Docs. My only concern is that when there are multiple possible matches for a resource students will just click on the first option instead of actually reviewing the matches before inserting them into their documents. Like almost all Google Docs updates, this one could take a couple of weeks to appear in your account or it could be there right now.   Reading Progress + ReadWorks in Microsoft Teams = Awesome! Reading Progress in Microsoft Teams gives you insight into how your students read. With Reading Progress in Microsoft Teams you can get insights into how long it takes students to read an assigned passage and the words that they struggle to pronounce. You can also gain insight into whether students struggle more or less with fiction or non-fiction reading. As you might expect, you can also use Reading Progress in Microsoft Teams to view progress in your students' reading abilities. How it WorksWith the Reading Progress and Insights function enabled (your Microsoft IT admin can disable it), you assign an article to your students to read. The article can be something that you upload in the form of a PDF or Word Document. Alternatively, you can use the integrated access to ReadWorks to import an article for your students to read. A student then reads the article aloud and Microsoft Teams will analyze the student's reading. As the teacher you can then view analysis of the student's reading. Mike Tholfsen has a great video about Reading Progress in Teams. Jump to the 4:16 mark in Mike's video to see the student's perspective of completing a reading assignment in Microsoft Teams.  ReadWorks Integration ReadWorks is one of my favorite free resources for language arts lessons. ReadWorks provides high-quality fiction and non-fiction articles and lesson plans for K-12 ELA teachers. Every article on ReadWorks is accompanied by a Lexile score and a suggested grade level. Any article that you select will also be accompanied by a list of key vocabulary terms and suggested questions to give to your students. The integration into Microsoft Teams makes it easy for teachers to find high-quality, reading level appropriate, articles to share with their students.   More Recent Articles |
