The first post of hers that I commented on was Back to the Future Project. In this particular blog, Tolisano writes a sentence in English and then a sentence in Portuguese for the majority of her blog. It is kinda distracting but it's part of her blog. She talks about a how Portuguese teacher named Ana Cortez got her 7th and 8th graders excited about learning a target language by using a Life Cycle unit. She asked her students to create a fake facebook page for a character's life, from birth to retirement. (Tolisano includes Cortezs lesson plan in her blog.) They used Google docs. These are some of the examples from Cortez's students:
The second post I commented on was "Copyright Flowchart". Tolisano states that it is the educators responsibility to model good digital citizenship for heir students. The waters are very murky when decided what you can and can not use. When teachers were in school we didn't have all of this technology at our fingertips so sometimes we are not familiar with online policies. This doesn't mean that we can just do whatever we want and then claim innocence. It is our job as teachers to become familiar with these type of things so that we can make out students aware. I loved this chart that she include in her blog. (Sorry it's so big! The next size down was too small to be able to read!)
