This website provide some good demonstrations of various literacy techniques that we've been reading about. It contains some videos and diagrams and some interactivity for you to check your understanding of various techniques.

I found some good things about it and some bad things about it:

**The good:**
1) Text is short, concise and well organized.

2) They use various ways of demonstrating concepts - texts, diagrams, interactive games and short videos.

3) Material is split by subject and grade level.

**The problems:**
1) All the videos are scripted (with pretty bad acting). The students follow a textbook script and the teacher never has to deal with any challenge or either behaviour or the students' misunderstandings.

2) Even though they are attempting to encourage critical thinking a lot of them include indoctrination and pseudo-critical thinking. //For example, in one of the videos where the teacher demonstrates think aloud strategy, she turns to the glossary to find the meaning of the work "**synthetic**", and after reading the definition "something artificial, created by humans", she adds her own (or the ministry's) interpretation "**so this means, creating jobs for someone**".//

Despite all the problems, I still find it a good way to introduce some techniques. Keep your critical mind when you watch/read it.
