For those who don’t speak Pirate yet, here’s a translation:
Yarrrrrr….! Tomorrow is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! I found a great site that is geared towards teachers and students that shares many ideas for activities and lessons to make the day interesting. The whole site is not for teachers, so be sure to check things out before sharing the main url with students. The Pirate Fun and Games section has the most kid-friendlly information.

EXTRA: If you’re having trouble making a connection between International Talk Like a Pirate Day (today) and school, Joel Heffner sent me this link to a wonderful TED Talk. Dave Eggers talks about his 826 Valencia tutoring center and some of the magic that is happening in his neighbourhood – all behind a Pirate Supply Store!

  • Belize Literacy Program

    In November 2012, members of the Belize Ministry of Education, principals, and lead teachers met in each of the six districts for two days of conversations and discussions around the challenges and next steps in integrating technology to support teaching and learning in Belize. The sessions highlighted global trends and challenges from the K-12 Horizon Report, the National Education Technology Standards (NETS) for students, teachers, and administrators, as well as an overview of the content from the August 2012 technology workshop for teachers.
