ClassroomQ: A Better Way to Ask and Manage Questions - Nick's Picks For Educational Tec... - 2 views

  • Teachers see an ordered list of student requests along with any optional comments that students may have provided. Simply clicking on a student’s name removes them from the list. A Better Workflow ClassroomQ can play an important role in the workflow of the student-centered classroom. Students requesting help no longer have to sit with their hands up, doing nothing for extended periods of time. Teachers can give their full attention to the student(s) they are working with, knowing that other students have been acknowledged. ClassroomQ Accounts Free accounts are limited to a maximum of five students in the queue at one time (which should be plenty for most classrooms). Paid accounts ($19.99/yr.) are unlimited and also offer the ability to view who has checked in to a class along, and the option to download data from each class session.

    "The ease of use and simplicity of design are what really make ClassroomQ stand out. After creating an account, teachers can start a class session with one click. "Students join the session by going to classroomq.com/students, enter their teacher's name and class code. They can then ask for assistance and will be added to the teacher's queue with the push of a button. They can also see how many students are ahead of them at any time."ClassroomQ Assistance Button "Teachers see an ordered list of student requests along with any optional comments that students may have provided. Simply clicking on a student's name removes them from the list." Looks like a cool solution -- but wouldn't working in groups be a help? T/h to Nick LaFave

Metacognition in Education - UKEdChat - 0 views

  •  
    Metacognition is thinking about thinking. It can have a huge impact: "John Hattie concluded that Metacognitive strategies have a positive impact score of D=0,69 - just outside the top ten of the most effective pedagogical strategies available to teachers - when sustained in the classroom. Additionally, the Educational Endowment Foundation advocate that Metacognition provides a 'high impact for low value', being easy to implement." T/h Colin Hill

The less flexible the teaching, the more poorly boys read - UKEdChat - 1 views

  •  
    "n their study, Van Hek, Kraaykamp and Buchmann show that the structure of the education system influences the differences in reading performance by boys and girls. The less freedom that teachers and schools have to design their own teaching methods, the worse their pupils perform, especially boys. So the more standardised the education in a country becomes, the bigger the differences in reading performance by boys and girls. The researchers found the biggest difference between the sexes in Bulgaria, where education is very strictly standardised. The smallest difference was in Chile, where there is a lot of freedom to adjust teaching to the individual student. In the Netherlands the difference between boys and girls is also relatively small and the freedom for schools and teachers relatively large. "
