Six Traits: Word Choice
By Cornholio0
Eleven-year-old published author and seasoned presenter Adora Svitak talks about the Six Traits: Word Choice. She discusses how using a variety of words makes a more interesting, vivid picture in the readers mind. She also talks about how specific words are more interesting than general words. When using specific words you give the reader more details and then can visualize the version of the story you are trying to tell. Many times specific words stir up emotions. Verbs, adjectives, and adverbs can be specific too. She says that you will have to rewrite your paragraph to make it more interesting. Video is good quality; it is done in Power Point format. Great explanation of how word choice can make your writing better. Video can be stopped and can be discussed. Good for writers in grades three through middle school.

Micro and Alternative Credentials - Webinar 2
By Lumos Learning
Micro-credentials have emerged over the past five years in response to the increasing need for smaller, more frequent and more focused learning opportunities that attract academic or industry recognition. However, the micro-credential space is still in a formative state with no universally agreed format or definition, and with many participating actors and emerging models. This session provides an overview of HolonIQ's comprehensive analysis of the micro-credentials market globally, including definition and segmentation of the micro-credentials market, the emerging infrastructure to support micro-credential ecosystems, and analysis of the likely future role of micro-credentials in the post-secondary landscape.
