    Backchannel chat room. Seems like it is easy to create a secure chatroom, but there are several tools that are just as easy or easier.

    Great post by Clarence Fisher about reading a novel with another class via Skype and how he is using technology to build the conversation. Instead of being afraid of letting students chat online, he is developing their skills. Rather than hiding some of the less rigorous comments, he's sharing with everyone, so he can learn along with us.

    For all the teachers wanting to do a skype with an author. Here is a list of authors willing to do it for free.

    Thanks Roland. I shared this article with my SR coaches. Many of them made plans to have their students use the video conferencing equipment to chat with an author. Skype provides them a free option they can begin utilizing while they are waiting for the IVC equipment to arrive and be installed. Also nice to have that quick list of authors for them to consider inviting into their classrooms. Thanks :)

  • This way, each kid reads every fifth chapter, all the way through the book.

      I a little scared about this so far...:( I tried something like this once with not so great results...but let's keep reading.

      I felt the same way b4 starting Lit Circles
  • the expert for each chapter recounted the key elements of the chapter to the rest of the kids, who hadn’t read it After this round of highlights from each chapter, the groups transitioned into general discussion about the five-chapter segment of the novel.
  • (recognizing that reading doesn’t necessarily guarantee remembering)

      OK Students need to engage with the text in order to remember.
  • ...30 more annotations...

      ok confirms what I thought
  • Chapter 8 in MacDougal-Little’s The Americans covers the reform movements between1820-1850. There are four distinct strands which emerged during this period- religious renewal, abolitionism, the early women’s rights efforts, and workplace reform
  • she did want them to sample Dickens’ voice and pick up some cultural background from the era.

  • under tough requirements to “cover” material

      OK, students become bored quickly with large reading assignments.
  • Tom’s Cabin, that connects the movements of the period in a vivid, powerful way.

      Ms. Hamilton is right on!
  • Or for teachers who worry, sincerely, whether hearing an oral summary from other students is as good as reading an expert’s version in print.

      ?: I wonder if this is effective for the majority
  • having every student read every page in the textbook may not be the only alternative
    • Jessica Slaton
      Jessica Slaton on 07 Aug 09
       
      OK: i agree...reading is not always comprehension
  • Are kids actually working, thinking, and engaged with the text we assign- or are they just imitating a sentient life form while remaining functionally unconscious?
  • But textbooks frequently can be easily subdivided
    • Jon Edwards
      Jon Edwards on 07 Aug 09
       
      OK, Often true for my text.
  • is covering material the same as understanding it?
    • Jessica Slaton

      !: very important question to ask when decided to go with this method
  • the language was just too hard for her kids to plow through.

      I see this with R & J and Odyssey

      I think this would be really good with The Odyssey. Plus some art work.
  • But textbooks frequently can be easily subdivided.

      OK - allows students to become teachers to other students, a role at which a lot of them excel.

      New: Sounds like a useful tool for this process
  • it is much harder to “fake it”
    • Abby Dobie
      Abby Dobie on 07 Aug 09
       
      X I'm not sure I agree. Often with jigsaw when the "experts" get together students are more interested in "getting the answers" than truly engaging with that text (ie. asking questions, making inferences, etc) I suppose it depends on the follow-up activity and HOW they go about sharing their info.
  • imitating a sentient life form

      ? I wonder if mixing in questions with the guide will help ensure that students follow the guide.
  • the author is there to answer questions and talk to the students.”
    • Jessica Slaton
      Jessica Slaton on 07 Aug 09
       
      :) good point
  • when you have to read, write, talk, and listen, it is much harder to “fake it” than it is to slide through a textbook assignment without understanding.
