Scaffolding - 0 views
-
According to Vygotsky, students develop higher-level thinking skills when scaffolding occurs with an adult expert or with a peer of higher capabilities
-
Conflicts would then take place between students allowing them to think constructively at a higher level

-
Instructional scaffolding is the provision of sufficient support to promote learning when concepts and skills are being first introduced to students. These supports may include the following: * Resources * A compelling task * Templates and guides * Guidance on the development of cognitive and social skills
Metacognition: An Overview - 1 views
-
Metacognitive experiences involve the use of metacognitive strategies or metacognitive regulation (Brown, 1987). Metacognitive strategies are sequential processes that one uses to control cognitive activities, and to ensure that a cognitive goal (e.g., understanding a text) has been met. These processes help to regulate and oversee learning, and consist of planning and monitoring cognitive activities, as well as checking the outcomes of those activities.
-
Self-questioning is a common metacognitive comprehension monitoring strategy. If she finds that she cannot answer her own questions, or that she does not understand the material discussed, she must then determine what needs to be done to ensure that she meets the cognitive goal of understanding the text.
-
Knowledge is considered to be metacognitive if it is actively used in a strategic manner to ensure that a goal is met. For example, a student may use knowledge in planning how to approach a math exam: "I know that I (person variable) have difficulty with word problems (task variable), so I will answer the computational problems first and save the word problems for last (strategy variable)." Simply possessing knowledge about one's cognitive strengths or weaknesses and the nature of the task without actively utilizing this information to oversee learning is not metacognitive.

hi kelly - i am also interested to know where you are regarding our course and your course. these were the questions for this reflection period " After conducting your own course review of your own online course, where are you in terms of completion of your online course? How are you doing? What do you need to complete your online course? What have you learned so far about yourself during this process? What has been the most surprising thing you have learned so far? What thoughts do you have about moving from theory (social, cognitive and teaching presence) to practice (building it into your online course)?" Also, you have neglected to self assess based on the rubric.

Sloan-C - Publications - Journal: JALN - Vol5:2: Assessing Teaching Presence in a Computer Conferencing Context - 0 views
-
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a tool developed for the purpose of assessing teaching presence in online courses that make use of computer conferencing, and preliminary results from the use of this tool. The method of analysis is based on Garrison, Anderson, and Archer's [1] model of critical thinking and practical inquiry in a computer conferencing context. The concept of teaching presence is constitutively defined as having three categories - design and organization, facilitating discourse, and direct instruction. Indicators that we search for in the computer conference transcripts identify each category. Pilot testing of the instrument reveals interesting differences in the extent and type of teaching presence found in different graduate level online courses.\nhttp://www.aln.org/publications/jaln/v5n2/pdf/v5n2_anderson.pdf
Guns Germs & Steel: The Show. Overview | PBS - 0 views
-
Inspired by a question put to him on the island of Papua New Guinea more than thirty years ago, Diamond embarks on a world-wide quest to understand the roots of global inequality.
-
These are some of the main questions Diamond answers in his book, Guns, Germs, and Steel. He theorizes that due to the east-west axis of Asia/ Europe (which would include its favorable climate, terrain, and ease of sharing and borrowing technology), the availability of domesticable plants and animals, to name a few, this area had all the right ingredients to be successful, as opposed to the Americas/Africa. The latter had few domesticable animals, a north-south axis, and a difficult terrain for "sharing", to name a few. We will all need to dive further into his book and these sites to uncover all of the necessities that helped some succeed over others.

i see your bookmarks in diigo, nicely done! now incorporate the things you bookmarked into a post with links directly to the source urls, not to diigo. (Think of diigo as our shared library where we keep/organize all our links, tagged so we can find them later easily if we want.) in your post link to the source url, on which will be your diigo comments, highlights, and stickies making your post 100% richer. (view all bookmarks and then you can see the list of bookmark tags. Also, what do you thing of tagging things with "module 1" and so on so you can isolate all the resources you bookmark in the course by course module? Think about what will make the tool useful to you today and tomorrow, and what will make it useful to the rest of us in the course. I am very interested in exploring the potential of this tool with your help and in having you tests its features and functionality and push the limits as we kick its tires.
Economics Interactive Tutorial: Elasticity - 0 views
-
In each of the following examples, choose whether you would expect demand to be elastic or inelastic. In none of these examples will the demand be as elastic as the demand for gasoline at a particular gas station on a street with many gas stations. Drivers will flock to a gas station with a price a few pennies below its neighbors' prices, and will abandon a gas stations with a price a few pennies higher. Choose "Elastic demand" if you think that buyers will buy somewhat less if the price goes up, or somewhat more if the price goes down. Choose "Inelastic demand" if you think that the buyers will buy about the same amount if the price goes up or down. An unconscious bleeding man is brought to a hospital emergency room. A patient is given a presciption for a drug to control high blood pressure. The patient's insurance doesn't cover drugs, so the patient must pay out of pocket. A hospital in-patient has insurance that will pay all charges. What would the demand be like for nurse-administered propoxyphene (Darvon), a pain-reliever? A senior signs up with a managed care plan to get the Medicare drug benefit. Even though the senior is locked in for a year, the plan can, at any time, change which drugs it will pay for, based on the plan's judgement about a drug's effectiveness and price relative to other drugs that do about the same thing. For members of that plan, what might the demand for the Darvon be like? Darvon's cheapest alternative might be acetomenophen (Tylenol) in this case. A family has a high-deductible health insurance policy. The effect is that the family pays for primary care office visits out of pocket. Now, one of their children has an earache. What would their demand be like for an office visit to get this checked out? In general, if the decision-maker has an incentive to spend less on some product and if there is an adequate substitute for that product, then demand is more ...

Best Practices for Online Instructors (revised) - 1 views
-
Online education has become increasingly popular in higher education, which is a trend that will continue as more universities have begun to heavily invest in online teaching due to student demand. While best practices for implementing online instruction are well documented in previous literature, factors identified in this review of literature serve as reminders that should be considered by higher education faculty to enhance the quality of their online courses. Teaching online requires a faculty member to think differently about teaching and learning, learn a host of new technological skills, and engage in ongoing faculty development for design and development of quality online instruction.
