    "I do interact with the students - 1-on-1 - by using a "private" feedback feature available in the LMS I use. By providing both supportive and corrective feedback behind the scenes, my goal is to shape the discussion responses into the most acceptable form."

Put to the Test: Confronting Concerns About Project Learning | Edutopia - 0 views

  • "The biggest concern revolves around the implications for high-stakes testing," Rice says. "Teachers ask, 'Will my students perform as well on standardized tests if I incorporate PBL?'"
  • At first, I was concerned about spending three weeks on this project, but when I look back, I realize how much my students learned and how much time I saved by not having to reteach the same thing over and over again,"
  • "Project learning can require more time, but it's time well spent, because the students are really taking ownership of their learning, and the end result is that their learning is so much deeper," she explains. "That's something they carry with them for the rest of their life."

  • He recommends using a series of team-building exercises (5) from his company's Web site at the beginning of the project. These exercises will teach the students be attentive to one another's needs, be more communicative, and think about the consequences of their words before they speak
  • "With PBL, you give up control, but you always retain command of your classroom.

About personal development - 1 views

  •  
    This website provides information for students about their career plans. I really like the page that outlines for them how the choices they make now can help them in the future. I want to use this in my online course because I think it is important for students to see the correlation between what they are doing now and how it will help them in the future. I think I am going to add this into Module 4 to assist with the career plan. I also want to use the Structured Reflection link as an intro to the course. I think it outlines reflections and states a clear purpose to the students, who may have not done a blogging activity before.

OER Commons/Id, Ego, and Superego in Dr. Seuss's "The Cat in the Hat" - 1 views

  •  
    This site, which appears on OER Commons and originated with the National Council of Teachers of English/ReadWriteThink site, is a series of lessons aimed at high school lessons which use The Cat in the Hat to learn and practice psychoanalytical literary criticism. This will be one of the major elements of Module 4 in my "Politics of Dr. Seuss" course. I will be drawing from several portions of this activity, which reviews theme, plot, indirect characterization, and then applies Freudian concepts of id, ego and superego to analyze various characters in The Cat in the Hat.

Quest to Learn | Institute of Play - 6 views

      One of our colleagues in this program, Rebecca Grodner, is an English teacher at this school. I was fascinated when she mentioned that the school's philosophy was to reframe failure as iteration. I have made that my personal instructional mantra. She developed the Design Inquiry Cycle and shared this tool for inquiry-based learning in the UAlbany Knilt Wiki. This is the link, http://tccl.rit.albany.edu/knilt/index.php/Lesson_3:_The_Design_Inquiry_Cycle. I plan on using and adaptation of this model in my course's writing module.

      The use of PPT can help students interact witht he material in a fun way. It can help students meet learning objectives. For example students will be able to identify drug names through.

      I like the use of the Jeoprady game the best and think it could be used by individuals or teams.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      ok. i see your sticky here now.
  • Jeopardy
  •  
    The Parade of Games web site was created to provide educators and trainers with easy-to-assemble educational games in a technology-enhanced environment to support key learning points. The site demonstrates the creative use of popular game shows and other familiar games to reinforce learning. Educators and trainers can select and download those PowerPoint games that support their learning objectives and are compatible with the technology capabilities of their learning environment. I can use this in my course to help the students engage the content and make learning fun and interactive.

    Love this! I will absolutely be using some of these in my classroom!

Meridian Article: Authentic Learning: A Practical Introduction & Guide for Implementation - 0 views

  • Learning is closely connected to the world beyond the walls of the classroom.
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      This is what I will be exploring in my online course. How can we use technology to connect classroom learning with real life practice.
  • Students produce a product that can be shared with an audience outside the classroom.
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      This idea relates to students using multimedia to present their experience. Being able to summarize and present what they learned is a good reflection, and is a product that can be shared outside the classroom.
  • Learning is student driven with teachers, parents, and outside experts all assisting/coaching in the learning process.
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      Even though authentic learning is student centered, instructor can still help guide learners by assisting and coaching when needed.

Mark Frydenberg: The Flipped Classroom: It's Got to Be Done Right - 0 views

  • Many students need an incentive to watch videos at home just like they need to be motivated to read their textbooks and do their homework. Not all students are motivated to learn on their own. If students aren't prepared, it makes it much harder to have a successful in-class experience. In my case, that incentive (read threat) is the possibility of a short quiz at the start of class.
  • This one is a biggie: some instructors need to put their egos aside as they shift from being the "sage on the stage" to becoming the "guide on side."
    • Nicole Gallo
       
      This is a characteristic that online teaching helps teachers to implement.  The teacher is not always available, but students can always reach out to the teacher and to other students; this empowers students to take control of their own learning. 
  • Originator Aaron Sams writes that there is no such thing as the flipped classroom, but rather, suggests it refers to any model where students are engaged in their learning

      what did you learn?
    • Hedy Lowenheim
       
      To start with many new Web 2.0 tools, that pre-occupied me for a major part of the first week of class. No doubt I struggled with setting up the blog, learning diigo, voicethread, etc. But throughout the frustration, I really enjoyed learning how to use these new tools and very happy to now have them in my elearning toolset! It is very exciting to see all of the great interactive tools available on the web to aid with online teaching an learning!
