Every one of the teachers in Exempler courses for observation talked about they way analzye their course, sometimes when its over sometimes during, to see what worked and what did not work

That was the role of student.

The Angel LMS that I am familiar with even gives he teacher the option to shut off news posts in a discussion forum so the student has only one option and that is to reply to a previous post.

build a wiki together

don’t show them how you do it, let them find out how it is done on their own

leave it up to the student to choose,

Case Study

Hopefully they will read the author I provide them with and than on their own they will read more articles by that author because they like him.

Another issue I am having is questioning if I have too much for the student to do. I really wanted them to do a group project but it seems like too much work.

Managing Impulsivity

Listening with Understanding and Empathy

Highly effective people spend an inordinate amount of time and energy listening (Covey, 1989).

Senge, Roberts, Ross, Smith, and Kleiner (1994) suggest that to listen fully means to pay close attention to what is being said beneath the words—listening not only to the "music" but also to the essence of the person speaking; not only for what someone knows but also for what that person is trying to represent

our inclination and ability to find problems to solve.

Thinking Flexibly

Flexible thinkers display confidence in their intuition

They tolerate confusion and ambiguity up to a point, and they are willing to let go of a problem, trusting their subconscious to continue creative and productive work on it. Flexibility is the cradle of humor, creativity, and repertoire. Although many perceptual positions are possible—past, present, future, egocentric, allocentric, macrocentric, microcentric, visual, auditory, kinesthetic—the flexible mind knows when to shift between and among these positions

Thinking About Thinking (Metacognition)

Striving for Accuracy

Whether we are looking at the stamina, grace, and elegance of a ballerina or a carpenter, we see a desire for craftsmanship, mastery, flawlessness, and economy of energy to produce exceptional results

Questioning and Posing Problems

Generative listening is the art of developing deeper silences in oneself, slowing the mind's hearing to the ears' natural speed and hearing beneath the words to their meaning

Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations

Thinking and Communicating with Clarity and Precision

Gathering Data Through All Senses

Creating, Imagining, Innovating

Creative people are open to criticism. They hold up their products for others to judge, and they seek feedback in an ever-increasing effort to refine their technique. They are uneasy with the status quo. They constantly strive for greater fluency, elaboration, novelty, parsimony, simplicity, craftsmanship, perfection, beauty, harmony, and balance.

Responding with Wonderment and Awe

Taking Responsible Risks

Finding Humor You can increase your brain power three to fivefold simply by laughing and having fun before working on a problem. —Doug Hall

Thinking Interdependently

Collaborative humans realize that all of us together are more powerful, intellectually or physically, than any one individual

Working in groups requires the ability to justify ideas and to test the feasibility of solution strategies on others

t also requires developing a willingness and an openness to accept feedback from a critical friend. Through this interaction, the group and the individual continue to grow. Listening, consensus seeking, giving up an idea to work with someone else's, empathy, compassion, group leadership, knowing how to support group efforts, altruism—all are behaviors indicative of cooperative human being

Remaining Open to Continuous Learning

Intelligent people are in a continuous learning mode

They are invigorated by the quest of lifelong learning. Their confidence, in combination with their inquisitiveness, allows them to constantly search for new and better ways. People with this Habit of Mind are always striving for improvement, growing, learning, and modifying and improving themselves. They seize problems, situations, tensions, conflicts, and circumstances as valuable opportunities to learn (Bateson, 2004).

They understand that collecting information and putting it on their blog is not a challenging task. They understand that an entry that paraphrases information found online is not as interesting and valuable as one that shows the author in the process of analyzing and reflecting on his or her research. Finally, they can see and understand how much effort is needed to produce an entry that makes a personal statement, that constitutes a valuable and unique contribution to the studied field. In other words, they now understand that in order to produce something uniquely their own, they first need to have a solid grasp of all the facts and spend some time reflecting on them and their own thoughts about their research.

Making Assessment Personally Relevant

Understanding our perceptual style will help us to seek information arranged in the way that we process most directly.

Information processing is

personality factors.

includes their motivation, values, emotional preferences and decision-making styles.

The Dunn and Dunn Learning-Style Model and PEPS

5 main categories and 21 elements in

nsist of the following: 1.      Environmental (Sound, Light, Temperature, Design) 2.      Emotional (Motivation, Persistence, Responsibility, Structure) 3.      Sociological (Self, Pair, Peers, Team, Adult, Varied) 4.      Physiological (Perceptual, Intake, Time, Mobility) 5.      Psychological (Global/Analytic, Hemisphericity, Impulsive/Reflective)

The Dunn and Dunn Learning-Style Model is a comprehensive and extensive model that incorporates many internal and external factors in the learner’s environment to create an optimal learning experience.

Kolb’s Experiential Learning Mode

ccording to Kolb, the learning cycle involves four processes that must be present for learning to occur

Concrete Experience: Feeling/Sensing; being involved in a new experience Reflective Observation: Watching; developing observations about own experience Abstract Conceptualization: Thinking; creating theories to explain observations

Diverger: combines preferences for experiencing and reflecting Assimilator: combines preferences for reflecting and thinking Converger: combines preferences for thinking and doing Accommodator: combines preferences for doing and experiencing
