Tom Snyder Production’s Word Workshop for Teachers
##AUTHORSPLIT##
<—>
Word Workshop for Teachers by Janet Caughlin is a how-to book written by a teacher for teachers. Educators wishing to make more use of technology in their classrooms will find this book, on the popular and versatile word processing program, extremely useful. The Workshop includes a CD-ROM containing Microsoft Word documents that are utilized in the book’s learning activities, examples of documents created by teachers for use in their classes, and more than 150 picture files that may be inserted into documents. The book assumes that the user is knowledgeable in the basics of computing, but includes several pages of explanation, especially for novice users. The book’s most valuable aid for novices may be the pictures of toolbars for three versions of Microsoft Word (Word 97 and 2000 for Windows, and Word 98 for the Macintosh).
The learning activities that are the main focus of the book are located in a section called Learning Word. Examples of documents created by teachers and technology specialists are in How Teachers Use Word. In addition, teachers’ examples of how their curric-ula ask students to utilize Word are included in How Students Use Word.
Learning Word contains activities covering many operations within Word that can be used to create and modify Word documents with illustrations of the document being prepared, allowing users to verify their progress in the activity. Step-by-step instructions are provided for activities, such as inserting pictures into a document; using the Equation Editor, which is great for math teachers; creating personalized letters for groups using merge; and printing envelopes and labels. There are also activities that show how to create newsletters and brochures, and use hyperlinks within Word documents for linking to other documents, the Web and to create Web pages. Instructions for the many operations are, for the most part, thorough and accurate. An exception to the thoroughness with which the many operations are explained is that of screen capture. Although the procedure of screen capture is explained, an explanation of how to use the print screen to capture only the active window is omitted.
How Teachers Use Word contains examples of how Word is used by seven teachers and technology specialists. Their worksheets, letters, newsletters and other documents are displayed as graphics in the book, and are included on the CD-ROM. The appendix contains several pages of examples of various Word menus, tips on sharing Word files and printouts of photos included on the CD-ROM. In addition to being an easy-to-follow tutorial on many uses of Microsoft Word, Word Workshop for Teachers will occupy a spot on the bookshelf as a handy Word reference tool for teachers.

Vocabulary Workshop Activities and Games
This game is based off of the game BOGGLE in which players attempt to find words in sequences of adjacent letters.
The purpose of the game is to discover as many words as possible within a jumbled square of twenty five randomly selected letters. A valid word can only be formed if each letter is contiguous (i.e. side-by-side, above or below, or on the diagonal) with the next, and no letter position can be used more than once in any given word.

A tongue twister is a series of words or sounds that are usually repetitive and are difficult to pronounce quickly and correctly. Most English language teachers use tongue twisters to develop the students pronunciation and accent. Sometimes, we use tongue twisters just for the sheer fun of doing it. I often get my students to memorize this and ask them to say it out loud in class as a group and in pairs.
Game Type: Individual, Pair, Group
Download Tongue Twisters (95406 downloads)
One of the most fun vocabulary workshop activities where students guess the mystery word based on two or three pictures. The pictures are the clue to the puzzle so the students must be able to identify them first, then combine the words to get the answer. For example, the pictures of an “ice” and a letter “T” will create the word “iced tea” if combined.
Game Type: Individual, Team
Download Visual Puzzles (39587 downloads)
There are many types of word puzzles for all ages including adults! I like the fact that I can have a number of different unique word puzzles created to printout on the same topic. So when we are studying a topic in English, say “Family and Friends”, I can print out six different sets then split the class into six groups and give them each a unique puzzle to solve.
You can let the students (in their groups) create word puzzles themselves for their classmates to solve. Assign each group their “mission” and explain the kind of puzzle they should make online. They have to send you the digital copy at the end of the lesson so you could produce enough copies for the rest of the class. During vocabulary workshop, the group that created the puzzles take the center stage and discuss the answers.

Speaking Activities and Games
This activity is based on a system designed by Edward de Bono with an ESL twist. Basically, 6 Thinking Hats is a tool for group discussion and individual thinking involving 6 colored hats . Just like de Bono’s idea, each color represents a mode of thinking which allows the students to expand their views on a particular thing or issue. I love this speaking task because it helps students to think logically and become better speakers.

This conversation activity is about student preference. Students are given a question that starts with “Would you rather…” followed by two equally good or equally bad options. For example, “Would you rather be beautiful but poor or less attractive (ugly) but rich?” Answering “neither” or “both” is against the rules so students must choose 1 and justify their answer. Sometimes, students’ answers will crack you up! One student said that she’d rather be rich but ugly because if she’s rich, she could afford plastic surgery!

This was my introductory teachers class. It went well.
The idea was to do something relaxed and entertaining after meeting everyone. Basically they just need to watch the video
and write down as many words as they can. They’ll most likely have to watch it more than once.
The powerpoint was there so we could talk about all the verbs shown in the video and their related meanings. It kept them busy and happy as pigs in shit.
Feel free to use and adapt.

This is awesome! I can see this being a lot of fun comparing what each teacher wrote down! thanks for the idea…i have a workshop today and was scrambling for something good 
Logged
This is a remarkable video! Thanks for finding it! I conducted my first teacher’s class this week and have my next on Tuesday. Looking forward to using this video and powerpoint. Thanks!

I am actually going to try and use this as an icebreaker to one of my high school classes! Thanks so much for posting!

sircharles.dewiet, or anyone, can you repost the slideshow in a ppt format because my school uses Windows 2003. Thanks in advance.
Logged
Here you go.
Modifying it in a different version could be a bad idea. I know mine sometimes messes up if I do.
Logged
I used this for my English teachers class, my General Subject Teachers class, AND my conversation club. My favourite part is that you can stagger the levels and have the better ones guess what the common word is and the less skilled students just read it off the PPT and explain it to them. I highly suggest giving it a run through once just to watch and then have them think of words the second time through, seemed to save a LOT of problems. Hope this helps!

Your powerpoint is simple and clean. Thanks. I may change it to be one slide a picture but nonetheless.
Most people here can’t design a good one…
Logged
Just a quick note for any elementary teachers out there thinking of using this — like I was just now, having seen it on the «most recently updated topics» list…
There’s a different kind of «blowing» happening at the 0:33 mark, which some students might pick up on, especially with a repeated viewing.
So, remember, this one is only for the adult classes!
Edit: can’t spell
Logged
I’m not quite sure what you mean. There’s a blowfish at 0:33. Not much else.
Logged
Haha, wow, well this is awkward… I’ll try to explain:
When I first viewed this post, I wanted to download the clip. I couldn’t figure out how from the forum here, so I went to youtube.
I found a clip of it where, right after the the guy blows his nose at 0:32, there’s a quick 1 second clip of a non-explicit *******.
Here’s the video that I originally found:
At 0:33, right after the guy blowing his nose.
And apparently it’s the version that was screened at some festival:
At 2:37 in the video above, you can see it.
But here’s the version from everynone’s YT channel.
As you can see, the «blowing» has been replaced with the punching.
Edit: Found the clip!

Shit, that is awesome. I wish I had used the unedited version for my class.
Btw if you want a good flv grabber (that works with vimeo) try Internet Download Manager (IMD) works with everything. You might have to pay for it… but there are ways around that.

This is such a good lesson!
I teach a 2hr seminar once a week for teachers and this worked perfectly. to fill time after the video and the ppt i had all the teachers do a creative writing activity where they had to use most, if not all, of the words they wrote down at the beginning of the class in a short story. Then i read them to the class and they had to guess who wrote each story.
