Cette semaine, à la une, un site de la BBC qui passionnera vos élèves
(j'allais dire 'comme un roman, mais je crois que 'comme un jeu vidéo'
conviendrait mieux!). Puis des dossiers autour de deux dates:
le 11 juin, l'anniversaire de Mandela et le 14 juin, Flag Day. Et de
nombreuses ressources à découvrir: des almanacs, des dictionnaires, des
sites de leçons, et bien d'autres...
Bonne semaine à tous!

SPYWATCH (BBC Education Newsletter Fri, 11 Jun )
-------------------------
Contextualised rhyming, phonics, story-writing activities and spycatching itself are just
some of the skills you can pick up at the Spywatch literacy site. Recently nominated for a
Yell Award, this site continues to fox users with its beguiling mix of grammatical
challenge and literary espionage. Young students Norman, Mary, Dennis and Polly are on
hand to guide you through a variety of literacy games and spyhunting activities against
the exciting backdrop of World
War Two and German double agents.

[un jeu superbe : la BBC sait ce dont les profs ont besoin! On peut charger le site pour
l'utiliser hors connexion, et le texte est simple (vocabulaire niveau 4ème) et écrit
assez gros pour bien le lire. L'histoire est bien présentée, style BD avec des sons, les
jeux sont simplistes, mais on suit
bien l'histoire, et on trouve en plus des indications historiques sur la guerre. Pour
tirer parti des jeux, recommandez l'utilisation d'un dictionnaire et une trace écrite des
mots nouveaux, assortie de dessins ou de traduction. A démarrer en classe entière :
l'ensemble va accrocher les élèves pendant plusieurs séances....en autonomie! Vous
pourez ensuite demander un compte-rendu écrit ou oral ou même faire un évaluation, en
les prévenant bien des notes à prendre et de ce sur quoi vous évaluerez.]

Resources for teachers

Helpwiz (ResearchBuzz #29 -- June 7)
-------------------------
If you have Shockwave, go check out Helpwiz . It's a directory of reference and
research sources online with a Shockwave interface. The interface makes for a display of
lots of information within a very small area. My only two problems with this method are
that
1) I couldn't find the raw URL anywhere, and 2) Searching the directory seemed to take a
while.
Still, this is a good idea and worth a look.
--> http://www.helpwiz.com/
[ un annuaire thématique, j'ai aimé leur liste de dictionnaires]
NetFirst Calendar Planner (ResearchBuzz #29 -- June 7)
-------------------------
The OCLC has a really neat feature called the NetFirst Calendar Planner. Each issue
presents details and links to holiday and event information taking place about 90 days
from the issue date. Perfect if your site has an "on this day" feature that you
want to be more than just a listing of information.

Walking Out of History (From the MPR Newsroom)
-------------------------
A ship trapped in the Antarctic ice. Twenty-eight men surviving horrendous conditions. A
quietly heroic captain. The true story of the crew of the Endurance told in text, sound,
and photos.
--> http://news.mpr.org/features/199905/31_rabej_walking/
[vous pouvez écouter l'histoire, avec ou sans le texte sous les yeux. Excellent pour une
compréhension orale]
'Every Day' Activities: Today in History (Education World Newsletter Vol.3 Issue 18)
-------------------------
Many sites offer "This Day in History" resources that are a great way to teach
current events, history, and cultural literacy. Imagine a classroom timeline that
highlights current events or events connected to historic periods. Add pictures collected
from Web resources such as the Library of
Congress and LIFE magazine. A great opportunity for learning!

glossary of theater terms, creative dramatics games and activities, a skit, quizzes, and
more!

Module Maker (Blue Web'n Update 6/11/99)
-------------------------
This site guides teachers through the process of creating online research modules for
their students. The research model presented here is intended to "challenge your
students to make up their own minds while supplying them with rich information to support
such thinking," and the guidance includes advice on asking good questions,
scaffolding the assignment to direct
student efforts, and setting up the online module in stages. Authored by Jamie McKenzie,
publisher of the From Now On Educational Technology Journal, Module Maker includes
examples and templates to help teachers get started with their own online research
modules.

Library and Archival Exhibitions on the Web -- Smithsonian Institution Libraries ( The
Scout Report June 11)
-------------------------
Compiled by S. Diane Shaw, Special Collections Cataloger at the Smithsonian Institution
Libraries, this site lists over 350 exhibitions on the Web created by all types of
libraries from all over the US. The exhibitions cover a wide range of topics, from the
history of the sugar trade at LSU to the Psychedelic Sixties at the University of Virginia
(reviewed in the June 26th, 1998 Scout Report), with travel photographs from the Ohio
Historical Society and a 1940 Tour of the Oregon Coast from the Oregon State Archives
along the way. The unifying factor is that all the materials shown in the exhibitions are
from library and archival collections; they are primarily
paper-based materials such as photographs, documents, book jackets and illustrations,
postcards, prints, and posters.

Kids + Violence -- What You Can Do (wNetSchool Bulletin - Summer 1999)
-------------------------
In the wake of the massacre in Littleton, CO, newspapers, listservs, and television
programs across the country have been trying to find ways to approach the topic of
violence in school. The National PTA sponsors the Violence Kids Crisis site :
--> http://www.pta.org/crisis
which addresses the issue from parents' and teachers' perspectives. PTA's list of "10
Things You Can Do" counsels parents on how to talk to their children about violence,
how to get more involved in their children's lives, and how to make a difference in their
community. Other PTA sections include :
--> http://www.pta.org/commonsense/
Common Sense, which offers strategies for raising alcohol- and drug-free children.
--> http://www.pta.org/events/violprev/
PTA's Community Violence Prevention Kit, which helps parents and teachers organize
community efforts and forums. The discussion section of the site allows parents across the
country to talk to each other about violence.

supervisor for Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, he takes on his biggest project

Tate Gallery Online ( The Scout Report June 11)
-------------------------
The Tate Gallery in Great Britain, "home of the national collection of British art
from the 16th century to the present day" now offers online browsing of its permanent
collections. The Tate's collections include many famous works from the history of British
art as well as international
modern art. After selecting Collections, users can choose from an alphabetical list of
artists. Small squares indicate that an image is available. The Tate currently consists of
three galleries, located in London, Liverpool, and St. Ives, and from the homepage
visitors can discover "What's On" at each. There is also an evolving section on
art projects at the Tate, currently featuring the Bankside Browser, a collaborative
project that solicited artwork from artists in the Southwark Borough of London. The
project inaugurates the new Tate Gallery of Modern
Art that will open in Bankside in 2000, and includes an exhibition archive of small works
that can be viewed on the Web. [DS]

How Things Fly (The Scout Report for Science & Engineering June 9)
-------------------------
Provided by the National Air and Space Museum, this site allows users to visit the special
exhibit How Things Fly. In How Do Things Fly? the following topics are discussed in a
question and answer format: Can you fly?, Air is "stuff"!, Balloons, Animal
flight, Airplanes, and Spacecraft.
The physics behind flight for each topic is at a general level, making this site an
excellent source for K-12 education. Specific science activities, along with recommended
reading, are found in the Resource Center. Additional links contain interesting comments
and activities for particular
topics. [JJS]
