We inaugurate a new regular section on ToolsTice: teachers' sites. The blogosphere on the teachers' side is doing well. More and more of you are devoting time and energy to providing online educational content for your students and/or colleagues. The confinement of spring has further amplified the movement and shown all its usefulness.
Many of these blogs are remarkable. Showcasing one of them every week is a way for me to pay tribute to their authors and their work.
If you are a teacher and author of a blog yourself or know one that you think is great. send me a small message so that I can give it a spotlight in a future post.
We start this series with A small corner of history-geo Directed by Remy Fauthoux teacher in a small college of 110 students in the Pyrenean mountain, the College of Baretous in Arette.
A small corner of history-geo
Remy offers on its website all college courses in History, Geography and Civic Education with free access. There are also many resources available, including: flashcard-style memory cards for each lesson. Through the pages you will find work done by students that can also be a source of inspiration.
In addition to the lessons and exercises offered online and for download, the site offers a useful method corner, some great texts and quotes and a great section comic book that remains an original medium for teaching history. The author will offer you album reviews to approach the story class by class in a different way.
Linked to the college ENT and chatbox, the blog ‘Un P’tit coin d’histoire-géo’ also serves as a gateway and integrated communication tool.
A blog to save time in class and offer helpers accessible all the time
Remy Fauthoux : The site gives my students all the courses of the year, so my students do not copy a written trace in class but make their own pencil trace on the notebook and then pick up the teacher’s trace in the evening, either by copying or by printing and pasting from the site. They find associated with each course a test evaluation of which 50% questions will be asked during the classroom assessment. They also have access to checklists to review each lesson as well as review games mostly built on learningapps. The site allows me to save time in class and offer accessible help all the time.
Are you a teacher, do you run a teacher's site or do you know one that you want to highlight? Send me a note.
