4 Tools for Building Academic Vocabulary - Getting Smart by Susan Oxnevad - 2 views

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 19 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • There is a wealth of research to suggest that vocabulary knowledge is the single best predictor of student academic achievement across all curriculum areas.
  • Technology is an effective and engaging tool that can be used to improve vocabulary acquisition for all learners and engage them in the learning process.
  • Engaging students in activities to build vocabulary is all about the learning that occurs during the process of creating, not about ending up with an impressive final project.  Use student centered learning activities like these to make good use of technology as an efficient and effective tool for learning.

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 16 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • This is absolutely awesome for managing student work in Google Apps. Doctopus allows you to share a document with your entire class without having to share individually and without having to place it in the Template Gallery. Plus, it collects all of the data in one spreadsheet! You can share the document for the whole class to work on it, for group work, or for individual work.

  • As for teachers, it is imperative that educators  share curriculum, effective instructional strategies, and assessment, in order for the school community to accomplish the goals of the common core.

      Collaboration Coaching is the human infrastructure for accomplishing the goals of the Common Core (or really any initiative that focuses on improving student learning)
  • Perhaps with the help of their growing and helpful new learning  community they spend less time doing all the work themselves! They now have time to discover the thought of making it all a reality in the classroom.

    "MentorMob uses the "playlist" concept to collect and share information. I can see great potential in this application as place to gather multiple sources for creating a flexible architecture for learning." I'm not sure if this is better than Symbaloo, Squorl, or a Livebinder, but it's along the same idea with the exception of you place the sites you want in a play list, almost like an interactive presentation.

Education Week: Educators Evaluate 'Flipped Classrooms' - 1 views

www.edweek.org/...02el-flipped.h32.html Education Week flipped flipped classroom
shared by Tracy Watanabe on 17 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • the flipped-classroom technique has also garnered criticism from some who believe that flipping is simply a high-tech version of an antiquated instructional method: the lecture
  • "My concern is that if you're still relying on lecture as your primary mode of getting content across, … you haven't done anything to shift the type of learning that's occurring," said Andrew Miller
  • "That's not how all of us learn," he said. "Just because you flipped your classroom doesn't mean your students will watch the videos. How are you engaging your kids?"
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • "Everyone initially thought that [flipping] was an innovative way [to teach] because we're so rooted in this idea that students don't like homework," he said. "However, when you step back a little bit, what you're looking at is simply a time-shifting tool that is grounded in the same didactic, lecture-based philosophy. It's really a better version of a bad thing."
  • 2. Be thoughtful about what parts of your class you decide to “flip” and when.
  • Tips for Flipping
  • "It's a thing you do in the context of an overarching pedagogy," not the pedagogy itself, he said.
  • 1. Don’t get hung up on creating your own videos.
  • What's the best use of your face-to-face instruction time?
  • 4. Address the issue of access early
  • 5. Find a way to engage students in the videos. Just having students watch videos instead of listening to lectures doesn’t guarantee that they will be more engaged. Requiring students to take notes on the videos, ask questions about the videos, or engage in discussion about them will help ensure that they watch and absorb the material.
  • mastery-based model
  • made adjustments to the flipped classroom, moving from what they call the "traditional" flip to the "mastery based" flipped classroom.
  • 3. If possible, find a partner to create videos with. Students enjoy hearing the back-and-forth conversation of two teachers, especially when one teacher plays the role of mentor while the other plays the role of learner.
  • work through the material at their own pace
  • "For students who had not been challenged in the classroom, this was an opportunity for them to just fly," she said. "For others, it was an opportunity to take the time that they needed to move slower. And for some, self-paced became no pace," and teachers had to step in and create deadlines.
