Brought to you by NewseumED, this video is a perfect fit to introduce any unit on the First Amendment and its freedoms. Find a comprehensive lesson plan, watch the video through the NewseumEd site, and download documents in either PDF or Word formats. The documents include a list of historical figures and their involvement with the issues from the period, and a viewing guide worksheet for students to fill in. All of the actors' words, in the video, are direct quotations taken from primary sources. Since the video focuses on the origins of the freedom of the press, it would make a fascinating intro to a media literacy unit, too. You must create a free account to view the whole lesson.
tag(s): media literacy (140), constitution (111), civil rights (230)
In the Classroom
Whether studying the First Amendment or media literacy, upload this video to a tool such as EDPuzzle, reviewed here, to edit the video to show only portions you select, or to pause the video automatically and add questions for students to answer, and/or add your verbal comments. Some of the Discuss questions would be appropriate to insert after viewing parts of the video. Break students into small groups after the video and assign them different Discuss questions for reflection and investigation. Challenge small groups to create a presentation to share what they learned using a tool like Google Slides, reviewed here. After watching and discussing the video, extend either a media literacy unit or a civics/government unit. Do this by asking students to view news articles in our present political situation i.e. election time, civil rights discussed, etc. Then have them compare how the news media during the late 1700s would have handled issues of today, and how politicians of the Federalist party would have reacted to our issues today. Alternatively, have students create a simple infographic comparing the problems in the news of then and now. Use a tool such as Infogram, reviewed here.

Use the lessons, discussion questions, and news articles provided by NewseumEd to help young adults understand what media literacy is and to tell the difference between good and bad information. Though the lessons seem to center around a visit to Newseum and their galleries, there is a lot to be learned just by examining and discussing the materials presented here. There are discussion questions, media issues to think about, suggested in-class activities, and worksheets. Find a Unit plan with lessons that are standards aligned and Common Core compatible. The Unit plan and worksheets are available in both PDF and Word document formats. You must be a registered NewseumEd member to access this resource; however, membership is free.

In the Classroom
Take advantage of the free lessons, discussion questions, sample articles, and worksheets offered for use in your classroom. Divide students into small groups and assign different discussion questions and activities to each group. Allow all older students to have a voice (and engage their interest) in the small group by using a chat service like Flock, reviewed here. Enhance learning by challenging the small groups to create a slide presentation using the free Microsoft PowerPoint Online, reviewed here, demonstrating information learned. With the online PowerPoint students can add videos, images and documents making them all interactive. Note: with Flock students can also start planning the presentation and keep the plan for 30 days. If you cannot make a field trip to the Newseum for the Gallery Guide Handout, you can do a Google search for Who Controls the News and find many free resources.

Thoughtplan is a web-based tool for organizing ideas into structured notes, documents, and simple wikis. Create a free account to start a document, group related ideas, or share a document with a team. Teachers can use it to organize unit plans, and students can use it to outline a research project or collect ideas for a group assignment.
tag(s): gifted (60), organizational skills (93)
In the Classroom
During the first week of school, project a Thoughtplan document for a fictional student and model how to organize assignments, activities, and deadlines under clear headings. Have middle and high school students sketch their own weekly plans on paper, then use Thoughtplan to organize them if your school permits student accounts. Offer sample headings such as "Due This Week," "Start Early," and "Questions to Ask" for students who benefit from a starting structure. For group projects, ask students to work backward from the due date, break the project into smaller steps, and record who will handle each task in a shared document. Set aside a few minutes at each checkpoint for groups to review their plan and adjust their next steps. Use your own Thoughtplan document to outline units, gather teaching ideas, and keep track of materials to prepare throughout the year.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Designed as an interactive online course this site helps high school students develop the sophisticated research skills needed for college and careers, an important component of most standards. The formal research process is broken down into six steps: Asking Good Questions, Finding Information, Selecting the Best, Putting It Together, Your Presentation, and Making the Grade. Students work through a variety of activities linked from outside sites, including reading articles, watching videos, and completing worksheets. Each module is introduced by Voki avatars, reviewed here. Several popular research tools, such Zotero, reviewed here, and Evernote, reviewed here, are introduced. If your district blocks YouTube, the videos may not be viewable.

Create books together, as a class, as you move through a unit or topic. Enhance student learning by adding images and ideas your students suggest. Use in a flipped classroom to deliver course information. Assign several student groups a different topic and extend and redefine their learning and technology use by having each group create their own multimedia versions as they learn more about the topic. Students can combine their books later as a class book. Make a digital bookshelf of all the versions for all to use. Challenge gifted students to modify the "standard" class text with the additional material they discover, by going deeper and learning about related topics. In lower grades, create teacher-made e-books for your young readers, perhaps adding audio - your own voice reading the text.Edge Features:

Symbaloo, reviewed here, integrates Learning Paths directly into its Webmix and Webspace platform. Teachers can create game-like, interactive learning sequences by adding embeddable resources such as websites, videos, documents, presentations, and games to a Webmix. Add activities, including multiple-choice and open-ended questions, then arrange the tiles in the order students should complete them. Students move through the pathway at their own pace, and teachers can continue editing, rearranging tiles, or adding activities without starting over. Users can explore the Symbaloo Library for Learning Paths and Webmixes created by other users. Use a shared Learning Path as is or add a copy to your account and customize it for your students. You can use Learning Paths in class or assign them for students to complete independently. Symbaloo also emphasizes student privacy: students can use an avatar and nickname, while their progress and responses are stored on their own device rather than by Symbaloo.

Use Symbaloo Learning Paths to create structured, self-paced learning experiences for whole-class instruction, small groups, independent work, or learning at home. Build different paths around student needs and interests by combining videos, websites, documents, games, and interactive questions in a specific sequence. Create a path for students who need extra practice, an extension path for advanced learners, or multiple versions of the same lesson with resources at different reading levels. Learning Paths can also support multilingual learners by including resources in students' home languages alongside English language practice and open-ended or multiple-choice activities. Use a Learning Path as a digital lesson sequence, a choice-based activity, a pre-assessment review, or a series of connected paths for a larger unit. Explore the Symbaloo Library to find paths created by other educators, then adapt them for your own students. Because the paths can be edited and rearranged after creation, you can continue refining them as your lesson or unit develops.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Badges are the "stickers' of today and much more. Use Open Badges to track student progress on big assignments, rewarding badges for each completed step. Present awards using badges such as Student of the Month, Math Hero, Perfect Attendance, and more. Share this site during the first week of school as you set classroom expectations. Autistic support and behavior support teachers will find this tool helpful and easy to use for reinforcement and tracking. Gamify your class using badges as reward levels. Challenge students to progress through different achievement levels by providing badges along the way. Share student login information with parents so they can track progress and accomplishments at home. Be sure to keep the login information yourself, just in case students misplace it. Keep track of mastery of various topics or skills, much like a sticker chart! Students can embed their class badges in other sites, such as personal blogs, using the embed code.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Use this site to work with PDF files in many ways. If you need just a page or two from a large PDF file, perhaps a worksheet to send home to an absentee student, easily extract it to send. Combine class projects received as individual PDFs to create a complete class book by merging all files. Combine several lessons into one whole unit by merging files. Make combined PDFs available as downloads from your class web page so students "get it all together." Teachers at all grades can use this tool, and older students may find it handy for their own use.Edge Features:
Parent permission advised before posting student work created using this tool
Premium version (not free) includes additional features or storage

Quizlet Live is a classroom quiz game for groups created by the makers of Quizlet, reviewed here. Follow directions to create and share a quiz set and assign to student teams. At least six students are needed to create and play a Quizlet Live game. When students receive the code and log in, they find other team members and begin competing. Accuracy is encouraged over speed; providing a wrong answer will send teams back to start from the beginning of the quiz.

Use Quizlet Live to introduce new topics or content, or as a review before testing. Quizlet Live would be an excellent tool for the start of the year to help students get to know each other, or use throughout the year to have students work with different students in cooperative learning activities.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
