    Great tool for teachers to find aligned resources. What looks like a Rubik's Cube and teachers find Common Core classroom resources? INFOhio's IMatrix. This website helps educators design inquiry-based instruction that aligns to content standards of the four core curriculum areas: English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. By searching the matrix by standard or by subject area and grade, educators can see how skills are scaffolded for students, find interdisciplinary connections and link to resources to teach those skills. Grades 6-8 are available now. Grades K-5 will be added by February, with grades 9-12 to follow later in 2013.

  • Poole's feedback traditionally came at the end of an assignment, was delivered in writing (the typical inked-up assignment), and covered lots of traits. Students weren't really reading her feedback
  • "Too often, feedback is just a way to justify a grade, rather than help students improve," Poole observed.
  • also needed to be more specific about what students should focus on, and show them how to incorporate feedback into their revisions.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Matching feedback best practices and technology helped her hit these marks.
  • For screen sharing, Poole uses Join.me (because it's free, with no account required*). Students can share their screen with a group, or just the teacher, and it's a good way to quickly assess student work, especially if they're doing research (are they on sites that will give them appropriate information?) or preparing a presentation.
  • Poole will set her classroom up so students rotate through feedback stations. There will be a station for Traditional peer-to-peer feedback. Self-assessment screencast (use YouTube direct record function). LiveScribe feedback listening stations. Working with specific trait tools (students work on improving one aspect of their writing).
  • Getting student buy-in and understanding of the difference between feedback and criticism are lingering challenges to enacting these types of feedback processes
  • had students do a simple exercise—she brought in a teddy bear dressed in a funny outfit and asked how they would give feedback on the outfit as the bear's friend or as its enemy. Students put their responses into a big T chart, listing their ideas on what constitutes feedback and what criticism is, and this was displayed in the classroom all year.
  • her new, targeted approach to feedback takes less time and is way more effective in terms of raising the quality of student work as compared to teacher-centered, written feedback.

  • Without adjusting classroom instruction to take full advantage of a one-to-one classroom, many of these schools are just doing the “same old thing” but using more expensive tools to do so. And the operative word here may be “expensive” too.
  • Despite the rush to adopt Apple devices, it’s still not easy to sync them simultaneously to one administrative account, nor is it possible to blend a school’s iTunes account with a student’s school account with her or his personal account.
  • The promise of a personalized device was the “big reveal” at the end of today’s Apple event, when the company unveiled its plans to integrate the Siri personal assistant technology into its iPhones. Siri allows users to now control many aspects of their iPhones with their voices, including asking research questions (among its resources are Wikipedia and WolframAlpha) and listening to, dictating and transcribing messages.
