Ed Tech Tips with E. Mosier
Make your classroom more E-fficient!
Exciting News for Your Classroom!
So, how does it work?
Classroom Use
If you're doing a Current Events lesson, or want a short lesson plan to round out a unit or the end of a week, reading and analyzing articles online from the NY Times is a perfect solution! A great advantage is, each student can log in using their Chromebook, complete and assignment in Google Docs, and then Share it with you! This will alleviate the stack of old newspapers piling up! Or, they can simply log in for some silent reading time, and peruse the articles that interest them most. Plus, not a penny will be spent by anyone on any of the editions!
Resources Available within the E-Edition
Once in, there are several resources available for both students and teachers. You may choose to use these or not, but they are included with the Sudlow subscription!
Teacher Resources:
Introducing the Times: Printable handouts and links that help you and your students get acquainted with The Times.
Short Activities for the Day's Times: Warm-up activities, curriculum extensions, skill builders, and literacy games all in easy to use and print PDF format.
Curriculum Guides: An assortment of guides to use when teaching for subjects of English/Language Arts, Geography, Science, Social Studies, Government, and Literacy Skills.
Daily Lesson Plans: A great sub-site to explore for other activities to use with the NY Times.
Student Activities - These are great, short activities that can be printed out and used for any day's newspaper. Some activities include: News Bingo, Student Opinion, Daily News Quiz, Fill-Ins, and a This Day in History activity. There's even an opportunity for a "Test Yourself" option for vocabulary and comprehension building activities.
