"It has me thinking about what it would mean to improve online classes. A few ideas come to mind: Use multiple platforms. I'm not against using an LMS as a central hub. However, I think it's valuable to experiment with the types of productivity tools you will actually use outside of a classroom. Use Google Docs to share ideas, create surveys, and ask questions. Use Google Hangouts to meet as a group. Go project-based. I haven't figured this out entirely with my first class but my hope is that we can go fully project-based in the same way that my face-to-face class is. In fact, the asynchronous nature of online classes actually means there is a better potential of creating a project-based culture that mirrors the way people actually work on projects. Make something together. I use a collaboration grid with co-creating and communicating on separate spectrums (x-axis) and multimedia and text on another spectrum (y-axis). This has been an effective way to think through collaborative tools that allow students to co-create. Embrace a synchronous/asynchronous blend: I love using Voxer because students can speak back and forth in the moment. However, if they miss it, they can listen to it later. The same is true of using a Google Hangouts On Air. Make it more connective. We tend to treat online instruction as if it is a linear process and we don't do enough to link things back and forth and connect ideas, resources, discussions and content creation in a seamless, back-and-forth nature. Incorporate multimedia. It's a simple idea, but I create a short video at the beginning of each week and I encourage students to create video and audio as well. This has a way of making things more concrete. There's something deeply human about hearing an actual human voice. I know, crazy, right? Go mobile. I don't simply mean use a smart phone. I mean assign some things that allow students to get out in the world and create videos, snap pictures,

"Harry Potter: Ciencia-ficción, aventuras, magia y todo dentro de un colegio de magos son los ingredientes que nos ofrecen las ocho películas de la autora británica J. K. Rowling. Todas ellas narran las peripecias de un joven aprendiz de mago, Harry Potter, y sus dos mejores amigos, quienes luchan contra el malvado mago Lord Voldemonrt el cual mató a sus padres en su obsesión por reinar el mundo de la magia. LA EDAD PROHIBIDALa educación prohibida: German Doin es el director de esta película documental independiente Argentina, compuesta de diez capítulos que versan sobre experiencias educativas no convencionales y desde una perspectiva pedagógica progresista. Se realizaron más de noventa entrevistas a educadores en ocho países de Iberoamérica visitando 45 experiencias educativas. COACH CARTERCoach Carter: El film es la vida del entrenador de baloncesto Ken Carter. Durante 1999 se puso al frente del equipo del instituto Richmond de California, decidiendo dejar fuera de juegos a grandes jugadores por el bajo rendimiento que habían obtenido en sus estudios. Una controvertida historia ya que el equipo llevaba catorce victorias consecutivas, pero para él prevalecía que estos alumnos prepararan los exámenes. EL MAESTROEl maestro: Alberto Manzi es un profesor que acaba de regresar de la II Guerra Mundial y empieza a buscar trabajo. La tarea no es fácil y finalmente encuentra uno en el reformatorio de la ciudad, dando clases a niños y jóvenes a los que nadie acepta. Con mucho esfuerzo y dedicación consigue que estos pequeños acaben confiando en él, compartiendo sueños e historias. LA PROFESORA DE HISTORIA La profesora de Historia: Anne Gueguen es una profesora de Historia de instituto a la que siempre le tocan grupos difíciles, desafía a sus alumnos a participar en un concurso nacional sobre lo que significa ser adolescente en un campo de concentración nazi. Sus alumnos, a medida que se acerca la fecha de entrega, comienzan a creer

"Here's how you can add email notifications to any Google Form in 5 easy steps: Install the Google Forms add-on, then click the add-ons icon inside the Forms Editor (it is the shape of a puzzle icon), choose the Email Notification for Forms menu and then click the Create New Rule menu. The configuration window will open inside the form editor. Enter your full name (or the sender's name) and also specify the list of one or more email addresses (comma separated) who should receive automatic email notifications when a form is submitted. If you would like to send an auto-confirmation email to the form's respondent after they submit the form, check the Notify Submitter option. You'll also need to select the question in your Google Form that asks the respondent for their email address. Go to the next screen and enter the subject line and message body of the email notification. You can customize the emails and include any of the {{form fields}} in the subject or body as explained in the next section. Click the Create Rule button to activate the form notification. Now open your Google Form, submit a test entry and then go to your Gmail Sent Items folder to see the email notification that has gone out to the recipients."

"The Minute Paper comes in many variations, but the simplest one involves wrapping up the formal class period a few minutes early and posing two questions to your students: What was the most important thing you learned today? What question still remains in your mind? Taken together, those two questions accomplish multiple objectives. The first one not only requires students to remember something from class and articulate it in their own words (more about that in a moment), but it also requires them to do some quick thinking. They have to reflect on the material and make a judgment about the main point of that day's class. The second question encourages them to probe their own minds and consider what they haven't truly understood. Most of us are infected by what learning theorists sometimes call "illusions of fluency," which means that we believe we have obtained mastery over something when we truly have not. To answer the second question, students have to decide where confusion or weaknesses remain in their own comprehension of the day's material. Closing connections. If we want students to obtain mastery and expertise in our subjects, they need to be capable of making their own connections between what they are learning and the world around them - current events, campus debates, personal experiences. The last five minutes of class represent an ideal opportunity for students to use the course material from that day and brainstorm some new connections.The metacognitive five. We have increasing evidence from the learning sciences that students engage in poor study strategies. Likewise, research shows that most people are plagued by the illusions of fluency. The solution on both fronts is better metacognition - that is, a clearer understanding of our own learning. What if all of us worked together deliberately to achieve that?Close the loop. Finally, go back to any of the strategies I introduced in my recent column on the first five minutes of clas
