Claudia Giglio - Hola... soy docente de Uruguay y tengo la misma inquietud que Viviana Ruscio... el idioma. Me parecen muy interesantes estas colecciones, pero tengo la dificultad del idioma, ya que no domino el inglés.
si me pueden ayudar a encontrar en español les agradezco... saludos a todos.- Nov 16, 2011

Viviana Ruscio - Hola Claudia, lamentablemente al parecer sólo podríamos compartir recursos en español entre nosotros, pero al menos yo todavía no encontré comunidades en español, así como tampoco encuentro la posibilidad de crear comunidades nuevas. Si alguien sabe al respecto será de mucha utilidad. Por otra parte Claudia, contas con mi aporte para que te comparta los recursos en español que te interesen. Saludos a todos!

We are very proud to unveil an upgrade to our popular Route Creator tool! Most notably, it has been renamed the Lesson Planner! The new Lesson Planner still allows teachers to gather resources from around the Espresso site, but now to create their own quizzes, build classes, set assignments and track student usage on Espresso!

Today we added a new module to Espresso - Fractions and Decimals.
Use the videos to introduce and reinforce fraction and decimal concepts. The Fraction Wall activity is a great visual model for students to compare and practice recognizing fractions and their equivalent decimal notation. -

Espresso Elementary has a significant positive impact on student performance.
We recently received the preliminary results of an efficacy study into the impact of Espresso on student achievement - and all participants in the study observed that Espresso increased student engagement on the topics being taught in the classroom. They reported that students were very excited when their time came to work on Espresso and it provided a meaningful learning context resulting in higher student achievement. The full results will be available towards the end of the year.
Please get in touch if you would like further information about the study or our resources. We are also always interested in hearing how you are using Espresso in your classrooms.Espresso Elementary has a significant positive impact on student performance.Show Full Post
