This course will instruct paraeducators on how to assist teachers in assessing students’ reading and writing skills, especially in rural Alaska. Students will also learn techniques and develop an understanding of how to create environments that inspire children as readers and writers using a variety of indigenous authors.

This is a formative assessment to help students develop 2 to 3 poential topics for their end-of-semester research project. 

This is an early-semester formative assessment to help students begin developing 2 to 3 possible topics for their end-of-semester research project.

This lesson introduces teacher candidates to developing their own teaching philosophy. It is intended for those studying to be a teacher and who are in an education course within the first 1-3 semesters of their program.

This case study is intended to develop an awareness of the ethical and privacy implications for the creation, sharing, interpretation, and use of geocoded data, that is, data with locational content. It provides a set of relevant ethical and legal standards, along with a fact-rich hypothetical. By applying those standards to the hypothetical, learners from a variety of backgrounds are offered the opportunity to develop an awareness of the potential for unintended and negative consequences to result from geocoded data practices that appear, in isolation, to be unproblematic.

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, which are tiny organisms that can only be seen with a microscope. Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Microorganisms are found everywhere in the environment, including in water, soil, air, and in the bodies of plants and animals. Microbiology is an important science that helps us to understand how microorganisms interact with each other and with their environment. Microbiology also helps us to understand how microorganisms can cause disease and how they can be used to produce food and medicines. Teaching microbiology can be a fun and interesting experience for students. There are many different ways to teach microbiology, and the best way to teach it will depend on the students’ age and level of education. One way to teach microbiology is to use learning materials that are specifically designed for schools. These materials can help to make the learning process more fun and interesting for students. Some of the best practices for developing microbiology learning materials for schools include: 1. Developing materials that are age-appropriate 2. Using fun and interactive activities 3. Incorporating images and videos 4. Using real-world examples 5. Including assessment questions

Students explore how the formulas for the areas of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids are developed. 

This source is intended for pre-service teachers to learn about typical v. atypical development in children and teens and the effects of disabilities and abuse or neglect. 

Diaspora means the dispersion of the Jews beyond Israel. The dispersion or spread of any people from their original homeland.

Students will create an Adobe Spark to demonstrate the cell cycle and mitosis. Students take pictures of hand signals to model the cell cycle and mitosis, creating a digital storybook of the stages, with short descriptions of each stage. Students also add a section about abnormal cell cycles and cancer, with a specific example named and described. Students use Adobe Spark to link the stages of the cell cycle together and animate the process, simplifying the concepts to make them easier to remember.

This is a lesson using Digital Age Skills in Middle School Biology.

Students will be able to show their research of a specific element. Students are unsure exactly what the elements are so this introduces them up close and personal to a specific element, its characteristics and its usefulness. They can’t become an expert on all elements but they can become an expert on one element.
