  • The Big 6 provides a framework to systematically find, use, apply, and evaluate information for specific tasks.
  • Information Literacy The ability to assess the validity and usefulness of information has always been a critical skill. Given the ease of publishing information on the Internet, and our increasing reliance on Web based resources these skills are even more important. These resources are designed to help students develop the ability to evaluate information.
  • Evaluating Web Pages: Techniques to Apply and Questions to AskThis UC Berkeley site offers a useful four-part process for evaluating Web pages, including examining the URL, the perimeter of the page, indicators of quality, and what others say

    Just a quick heads up that ASSET is still here for you and ready to help in filling the Discovery Streaming void. PBS is launching Learning Media, a digital repository of over 14,000 resources, including video, audio, images, interactives and lesson plans. By the end of the year, there will be 30,000 assets. This basic service is totally free to teachers. You can see more at www.azpbs.org/asset and then click on Learning Media.

    This is ASSET's answer to helping with Discovery Streaming deciding to charge for their services. If you think it's worth investigating, would you let Jon know? Thanks!

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Welcome back to our series on becoming a 21st century school or district! For the earlier installments of this series, please scroll to the bottom of this page. Previously we focused a lot of attention around the 4Cs: Critical thinking Communication Collaboration Creativity
  • Another strategy for using collaboration to transform PD is "peer coaching."
  • Reflections How would you rate the quality of professional development in your school or district? Does your PD challenge your educators to: Think critically and reflect deeply on their practice? Communicate and collaborate effectively? Bring innovative and creative practices to their classrooms? Have you established professional learning communities? Are they focused on the 4C's? Conclusion We have two major recommendations on PD: Be sure your PD exhibits the characteristics of the 4C's; Focus your PD on how teachers teach and assess the 4C's.

Attracting Blog Comments | Integrating Technology in the Primary Classroom - 0 views

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 26 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Be part of the blogging community: To put it simply, you can’t expect people to comment on your blog if you don’t ever comment on theirs.
  • Finish your post with questions: Take some of the guesswork out of commenting and give readers some suggestions on what they could comment on
  • Make sure you include open-ended questions that appeal to a wide audience.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Don’t write all the answers: I may be a little guilty of this with this post but if you write an open-ended/incomplete post then people feel like they have something to contribute and will be more likely to comment
  • Publish in a timely manner: People won’t be very interested in commenting on an event that happened three weeks ago. We try to publish a post as soon as possible after a class event on the 2KM and 2KJ blog. Students and families are more likely to comment when their enthusiasm about an event is high
  • Reply to comments: I have said this before but I believe that it is basic blogging etiquette to reply to all/most comments. Acknowledge your readers’ comments, interact with them and they will be encouraged to comment again
  • Be original and diverse: I encourage my students to post about not only what appeals to them but what they think might appeal to their audience.
  • Educate readers on how to comment: Don’t assume that all teachers/parents/students know how to leave a comment. I provide parent handouts and a video on how to comment. You might choose to have a “how to comment” page on your class blog like I have.
  • Publicly read and praise comments: We start each school day with 20 minutes of whole-class blogging. This provides a chance for students to read out the comments they have left at home and school in the past 24 hours. We have found that there was a big increase in comments when we started doing this. Students respond well to praise and are eager to get their five minutes of fame
  • Hold a commenting event: We have held a few special class events to stir up some new enthusiasm for commenting with great success. Some of these events included the Family Blogging Afternoon and Family Blogging Month competition
  • Invite people to comment:
  • Inform people of new posts:
  • Have a pattern to publishing:
  • Remember, it takes work and ongoing effort to attract comments on your blog, however once you build up the momentum the effort decreases and the rewards increase
