Ed Tech Digest
Ten years ago, in another somewhat futile attempt to reduce the backlog of resources I want to share, I began this occasional “” post where I share three or four links I think are particularly useful and related to…ed tech, including some Web 2.0 apps.

What YouTube Channels Do You Think Are Best For ELLs – For Learning English And/Or For Learning Other Academic Content?
geralt / Pixabay It’s time for me to update The Best YouTube Channels For Learning English . In addition, I have some others, including accessible channels for other academic content, at The Best Popular Movies/TV Shows For ESL/EFL . However, I want to create another specific list for those kinds of channels (accessible math, science, and social studies content). Okay, which ones do you suggest?
Pins Of The Week
I’m fairly active on Pinterest and, in fact, have curated 22,000 resources there that I haven’t shared on this blog.

I say some because one thing that has been made transparent over the past year is the lack of skilled leadership in many districts, and I’m sure that quite a few haven’t even begun thinking about it yet.

Classroom Instruction Resources Of The Week
Each week, I publish a post or two containing three or four particularly useful resources on classroom instruction, and you can see them all here. Of course, this is a crazy time for “classroom” instruction…. You might also be interested in THE BEST RESOURCES ON INSTRUCTION IN 2020 – PART TWO .

“Twenty-Eight Educators Share Their Best Teaching Advice”
Twenty-Eight Educators Share Their Best Teaching Advice is the headline of my latest Education Week column. Twenty-eight—yup, count ’em, 28—educators offer teaching advice that has helped them and their students. Here are some excerpts: I’m adding this series to The “Best” Lists Of Recommendations About What “Effective” Teachers Do .

Animated Video: “John Dewey’s 4 Principles of Progressive Education”
Peggy_Marco / Pixabay Though I’m certainly no scholar of John Dewey, this animated video seems to me to give a pretty good overview of his work. Below it, I’ve also embedded a video from the 1940’s on progressive education which includes footages of a speech by Dewey.
Most Popular Posts Of The Week
I’m making a change in the content of the regular feature. In addition to sharing the top five posts that have received the most “hits” in the preceding seven days (though they may have originally been published on an earlier date), I will also include the top five posts that have actually appeared in the past week. Often, these are different posts. You might also be interested in IT’S THE FOURTE
