    Hi Laura, This is a great matrix for sure, and it it s one that we will explore in our next F2F. It helps, as you suggest, to self-assess our use of technology, AND it can help us in selection of what tech. I like it to help me balance the WHY of introducing technology to teachers, and getting them to use it to help them introduce it to their classes. If you like this matrix, then you'll LOVE this one: http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/matrix.php It's actually broken down into subjects and it's all hyperlinked! Thanks, garth.

    Thank you both for sharing these matrices. I am going to steal at least one for part of my presentation to my faculty tomorrow morning! Helps you to evaluate if you really are using your device as a "$1000 pencil" as Alan November likes to say.

  • Daytime Light Exposure Can Boost Learning
  • 21,000 U.S. elementary students showed that, over one school year, kids who were exposed to more sunlight during their school day displayed 26 percent higher reading outcomes and 20 percent higher math outcomes than kids in less sunny classrooms.

Math Teachers Should Encourage Their Students to Count Using Their Fingers in Class - T... - 2 views

Math education Cohort21

shared by garth nichols on 15 Oct 16 - No Cached
  • This is not an isolated event—schools across the country regularly ban finger use in classrooms or communicate to students that they are babyish. This is despite a compelling and rather surprising branch of neuroscience that shows the importance of an area of our brain that “sees” fingers, well beyond the time and age that people use their fingers to count.
  • Remarkably, brain researchers know that we “see” a representation of our fingers in our brains, even when we do not use fingers in a calculation
  • Evidence from both behavioral and neuroscience studies shows that when people receive training on ways to perceive and represent their own fingers, they get better at doing so, which leads to higher mathematics achievement. The tasks we have developed for use in schools and homes (see below) are based on the training programs researchers use to improve finger-perception quality.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The need for and importance of finger perception could even be the reason that pianists, and other musicians, often display higher mathematical understanding than people who don’t learn a musical instrument.
  • Teachers should celebrate and encourage finger use among younger learners and enable learners of any age to strengthen this brain capacity through finger counting and use. They can do so by engaging students in a range of classroom and home activities, such as:Give the students colored dots on their fingers and ask them to touch the corresponding piano keys:
  • Visual math is powerful for all learners. A few years ago Howard Gardner proposed a theory of multiple intelligences, suggesting that people have different approaches to learning, such as those that are visual, kinesthetic, or logical. T
  • To engage students in productive visual thinking, they should be asked, at regular intervals, how they see mathematical ideas, and to draw what they see. They can be given activities with visual questions and they can be asked to provide visual solutions to questions.

Personalize Learning: Put the "Person" in "Personalization" - 2 views

shared by Derek Doucet on 11 Oct 15 - No Cached
  • It's time to put the "person" in "personalization" and stop the conversations going in directions that take us off course.
  • It's not about technology. It's not about the test or improving test scores. It's really not about school. It's all about the learner, how they learn best and that what they learn is meaningful and for a purpose.
  • Teachers and learners can work together to develop learning goals and design activities that are authentic and relevant for the learner so they are engaged in learning. Learning has to have a context that learners can grasp and understand.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • eachers also think they have to teach like a champion because they are the ones responsible for the learning. Don't you think that this is backwards?
  • When we put the focus on each learner and how they can own and drive their learning, then we see engaged, self-directed learners with agency.
  • This is just the beginning of a new world of learning and it's time to put the "Person" back in "Personalization."
  • They probably don't realize that their digital footprint is actually a "digital tattoo" that can never be removed.
  • If we teach as we taught yesterday,we rob our children of tomorrow.”
  • There are companies that frame "personalized learning" as adaptive learning systems using algorithms to choose the right path for learning. So we're going to end this blog emphasizing learners need to be the ones who choose their path with their teacher guiding the process. It is about encouraging learners to have a voice and choice in their learning. It's happening now all over the world.
  • When we focus on learning and not on curriculum, teachers roles change. We still can teach to standards but let's involve learners in the process and give them a voice so they own the learning.

      "It's about learners having a voice and choice in their learning ... leading to engaged and self-directed learners with agency..."
  • They also need to understand who they are, how they learn best, and how to be global digital citizens.

    A great clarification on what personalized learning is...

    When you flip a classroom, it can be a lot of front-end loading; however, one thing to leverage will be the vast array of content that already exists. This is a great source of resources for those interested in flipping the classroom!

    "Blogs and Twitter aren't the only social tools out there that can help you keep up with the latest and greatest developments in educational technology. Pinterest is rapidly becoming a favorite tool of educators all over the nation, and many have amassed some pretty great collections of edtech-related pins that teachers and students alike can use to explore new ways to learn, share, teach, and grow. While it would be nearly impossible to highlight every edtech pinboard out there, we've shared some of the boards we think stand out among the crowd here. "
