2808.My Favourite Books Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they're also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami It's about two sisters — Eri,a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping,and Mari,a young student.In trying to connect to her sister,Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets. Gone Girl Gillian Flynn There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable. The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population,a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left.Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

2809.4 Apps to Enhance Distance Learning Distance learning has become the new form of education since schools closed,and teachers have adapted – with the help of some truly amazing online applications. Google Classroom This popular application allows teachers to create online forums(論壇) to share courses,news,or lessons as well as a platform to assign,collect,and give feedback on student work.I've used Google Classroom for years,and it has become the cornerstone of my classroom throughout distance learning.

Flipgrid Flipgrid is a free online application that allows students and teachers to record short online videos.Teachers can easily create accounts and then within accounts create "classrooms." From there,teachers can create posts for students to respond to via(通過(guò)) short videos. Google Meet Google Meet is an online meeting platform where teachers can share their screens with all participants to see as well as record the meeting.I've recorded all of my daily lessons and then posted the recordings to Google Classroom at the request of my students.This is a practice I'd like to continue even after distance learning as students really like the option to return to a recording of the day's lesson to review it at their own pace.
