Close Reading and Argument Writing - Authentically Across the Curriculum - Gu... - 0 views

  •  
    "Close Reading and Argument Writing - Authentically Across the Curriculum 7/16/2015 0 Comments Close reading of informational texts and non-fiction articles is not - and should not be - reserved for language arts classes. Every content area would be immensely enhanced if science teachers, social studies teachers, physical education teachers, welding teachers, woodworking teachers (in other words, "all technical subjects," as Common Core states) would not push aside the textbook, but instead embrace it, along with content area and trade articles. Students would then simultaneously learn how to dissect the readings while gaining knowledge in these content areas. What often happens is that teachers feel that students can't handle the text books or can't read the articles independently - and often that is true. However, when teachers instead go into a survival mode, of sorts, and read aloud the whole chapter or article or summarize it with a slideshow, it ends up doing a disservice to students - students are not learning HOW to read these complex texts. They are not learning how to acquire the information on their own. They are not being given the skills to read the sometimes intricate information within a particular content area or even within their possible future trade. They are not being given the opportunity to read, understand, articulate, and discuss or even debate topics within their area of study. Teachers sometimes feel that they can't do these things with students because they are not language arts teachers, or because they don't have time, or simply because they don't know how. Alternatively, a simple solution is to let go of the control and let students do…..with the guidance called close reading. Close reading is a guided reading approach. It is guided because 1) the close reading strategy is reserved for complex texts that are often too high for students to be left with independently and 2) students don't use close reading strateg

Raw, de los datos a las visualizaciones en simples pasos - 0 views

  •  
    Muy interesante herramienta para pasar tablas de datos a visualizaciones gráficas, en vectores y personalizables... "RAW works with tabular data (i.e. information which is possible to record or track in a spreadsheet). There are many ways you can upload your data in RAW: Dropping a plain text file containing delimiter-separated values such as .csv or .tsv. File extension does not matter, as long as you use one of these delimters: comma, semicolon, tab or colon. Copying and pasting your data from a spreadsheet (e.g. Microsoft Excel, Google Docs, Apple Numbers...) or a text file. This is particularly helpful when you do not want to (or can not) export your data any time you change it or when you want to use only specific columns. Typing your data directly into the text area. While it is unlikely to use this option, it can be useful for editing your data."

OpenLibra | Problems in Introductory Physics - 0 views

  •  
    "This book is a collection of homework problems for use in an introductory physics course. It is a work in progress, currently complete through mechanics and electromagnetism. There is a complete set of ancillary materials, including solutions and an online answer checker. If you're an instructor, you can use these problems as a plug-in replacement for the ones in a commercial textbook, thus insulating yourself from common hassles associated with using the problems from a commercial text. For example, you can change books without having to redo all your problem sets, or you can tell your students that they can use any edition of a particular text."

Eleven Ways to Improve Online Classes - 0 views

  •  
    "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,

Flipeando con la estadística | The Flipped Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    "En esta ocasión, ofrecemos una sencilla propuesta para aplicar el modelo flipped classroom al estudio de los gráficos estadísticos (integrados en el currículo L.O.M.C.E. de la asignatura de Matemáticas, de 1º de E.S.O.). Para desarrollar esta sesión flipped, haremos uso de los contenidos digitales Tangram, de la editorial Digital Text. Tangram 1º de ESO Estadística Los gráficos estadísticos, tienen la particularidad de ser fácilmente entendibles, incluso para aquellas personas que no disponen de unos conocimientos matemáticos básicos. No obstante, lo deseable sería que el alumnado de este nivel educativo, a parte de interpretar correctamente la información que los diferentes gráficos muestran, pueda crear gráficos estadísticos a partir de la información recogida. Para ello, es necesario que conozca las características diferenciadoras de las distintas variables estadísticas, y qué tipo de gráfico es el más adecuado en función del tipo de datos que se están analizando. Dada la relevancia que tiene la componente visual en el estudio de los gráficos estadísticos, el uso del modelo flipped en el aula puede resultar interesante a la hora de agilizar el proceso de presentación de los distintos gráficos, aportando además una visión de calidad en los mismos y ahorrándonos el tiempo que nos llevaría construir uno a uno los distintos modelos. Con un simple vídeo, no muy extenso, el alumnado tendrá un acercamiento bastante bueno a las contenidos objeto de estudio. Ya en la clase, podrá invertirse el tiempo de la sesión en el afinamiento de aquellos aspectos que tienen mayor importancia. Los materiales Tangram, nos servirán en este cometido, y podremos realizar incluso ejercicios comprensivos adicionales o enlazar con el uso de herramientas informáticas, como la hoja de cálculo, si se desea que los alumnos y alumnas generen sus propios gráficos de manera rápida, sencilla y con una calidad aceptable.

Leonardo da Vinci, Notebook ('The Codex Arundel') - 0 views

  •  
    "Contents:Notebook of Leonardo da Vinci ('The Codex Arundel'). A collection of papers written in Italian by Leonardo da Vinci (b. 1452, d. 1519), in his characteristic left-handed mirror-writing (reading from right to left), including diagrams, drawings and brief texts, covering a broad range of topics in science and art, as well as personal notes. The core of the notebook is a collection of materials that Leonardo describes as 'a collection without order, drawn from many papers, which I have copied here, hoping to arrange them later each in its place according to the subjects of which they treat' (f. 1r), a collection he began in the house of Piero di Braccio Martelli in Florence, in 1508. To this notebook has subsequently been added a number of other loose papers containing writing and diagrams produced by Leonardo throughout his career. Decoration: Numerous diagrams. "
