TRETC 2017

Teachers, have you considered how we can capitalize on using emoticons in the classroom? Would you like to find an easier way to help even your most reluctant students develop an extensive vocabulary? If these are questions you have contemplated, then this presentation is for you. We will share how digital literacy tools such as emoticons can be integrated with whole brain teaching methods to help students learn challenging vocabulary words in any classroom setting. Come to this session to see how the creation of “Vocamojis” not only increased engagement and motivation for learning challenging vocabulary, but also broadened the vocabulary of struggling readers.
