Join educators from the US and worldwide at this year’s conference, themed “Strategies for Proficiency & Acquisition,” to learn from top experts in world language teaching.
Beyond the Advance Presentation for By the Book 9John Rodzvilla
In June 2020, L.L. McKinney, a Black author of young adult novels, began the #publishingpaidme hashtag to create a discussion on how the publishing industry treats Black authors: “what they’re paid. What the marketing is. How the books are treated. How one Black book not reaching its parameters casts a shadow on all Black books and all Black authors, and that’s not the same for our white counterparts.” (Grady 2020) McKinney’s call resulted in an online discussion across 65,000 tweets between authors of all races and the creation of a Google spreadsheet that collected information on over 2,000 titles.
While the conversation was originally meant to discuss the ethical value of book publishing, it became an economic assessment by authors of how publishers treated authors of color and women authors without a full analysis of the data collected. This paper would present the data collected from relevant tweets and the Google database to show not only the range of advances among participating authors split out by their race, gender, sexual orientation and the genre of their work, but also the publishers’ treatment of their titles in terms of deal announcements and pre-pub attention in industry publications. The paper is based on a multi-year project of cleaning and evaluating the collected data to assess what it reveals about the habits and strategies of American publishers in acquiring and promoting titles from a diverse group of authors across the literary, non-fiction, children’s, mystery, romance, and SFF genres.

5. Youtube.com/education
You Tube for education is a safe place
for students to watch thousands of
educational videos without
inappropriate content. PBS, National
Geographic, TED lectures, and Khan
Academy videos can all be found on
YoutubeEDU.
6. Khan Academy
Khan Academy
What an incredible set of resources, coupled with exercises for our students – or anybody for that
matter. The premise is that anyone can call up for FREE, short, bite-sized videos to learn something —
anything — from their catalog.
Some K12 teachers are actually flipping their learning.
Instead of lecturing to their students during the day and giving problems for homework, they are having
students watch the Khan Academy videos for homework, then having students practice in class, with the
teacher there for support. Students can watch and reply those parts they don‘t understand, then get real
support from their real teacher at school. It‘s a no-brainer! www.edweek.org
Khan Academy gets it. Many of our students are quick to utilize video for learning. They can play it back
without having to ‗ask to have that part explained again.‘ They can take it anywhere and learn any time –
at their convenience.
All of the videos from Khan Academy are mapped to Common Core standards.
7. Have you ever wished your job allowed
you to wander the halls and peek into
other teacher‘s classrooms … be that
proverbial fly on the wall?
While some lucky teachers may be able
to do this, most of us do not have this
opportunity. Enter … The Teaching
Channel.
The Teaching Channel records real
teachers in action in their classroom.
Sometimes the teacher then meets with a
mentor or expert to process teaching
strategies and learning. It is a great way
to get new ideas and learn from each
other!

curating sources of information and
posing questions for students to hunt for
the answers from the links.
2. If you require students to gather articles
or current events, or research current
topics, then Scoop.it is a tool that can
help them do that.
