6 Ways to Honor the Learning Process in Your Classroom | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Roughly put, learning is really just a growth in awareness.
  • While morsels of information -- math theorems, for example -- may not change, the context in which students use them do change. Which in turn changes how we consider and use that morsel.
  • Even what we call facts -- significant historical dates, labels for ethnic groups, causes and effects of cultural movements -- all change endlessly, if not in form (how they're discussed), then in meaning and connotation (what we think of them).
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • And thus changing how students use this skill or understanding. And thus changing how we, as teachers, "teach it."
  • This could be thought of as depth of understanding, a term that produced a depth of knowledge (DOK) framework for measuring understanding which is still used in many districts. Bloom's Taxonomy (1) or even the TeachThought Learning Taxonomy (2) are all tools to help evaluate understanding -- how well a student "gets it."
  • 1. Use Learning Taxonomies
  • 2. Use Concept Maps
  • Have students map, chart, diagram or otherwise visually represent their own learning pathways and changes in their own understanding.
  • 3. Use a Variety of Assessment Forms
  • 4. Build Metacognition into Units
  • Prime the pump by assigning students quick writing prompts about their own thinking.
  • 6. Connect Students to Networks
  • As students connect to networks, the learning process will plug them in, not just to one teacher, or 25 classmates, or eight texts, but to something much larger -- and more able to interact with students organically.

Assistive Technology: IdeaPaint- Turning Any Surface into a Dry Erase Whiteboard - 0 views

  •  
    Giving students and teachers the opportunity to visualize ideas and concepts is one proven way to improve achievement in the classroom. While many classrooms now have whiteboards as well as interactive whiteboards there are still a large number of schools that still have traditional blackboards that long for the opportunity to have a whiteboard that they can put colored markers to. Replacing blackboards with whiteboards can be extremely expensive for schools when you take into account the labor and the price of good quality whiteboards. But what if there was a cost effective way for classrooms to transform their blackboards into whiteboards? In fact, there is a cost effective way to accomplish this using IdeaPaint- an easy to use dry erase paint that can be applied to almost any surface. In fact some teachers have used IdeaPaint to paint the walls as well as the top of student's desks. I had learned about IdeaPaint several years ago but was excited to see how educators in New Jersey were using this product in the classroom. IdeaPaint has a number of great videos on their website demonstrating how teachers across the US are using IdeaPaint in the classroom to make learning more interactive and more visually appealing.

Virtually Transforming Classrooms | EDC Blog - 0 views

  • Enter the world of the post-secondary Learning Management System. Sure, it’s multi-faceted and has a wide range of tools, but in the whole it remains difficult for students to openly collaborate in person, be creative from a distance and proactively learn class material, and all within the same environment, all at the same time.
  • Virtual worlds like Second Life and Lively beta by Google, on the other hand, are three-dimensional (3D) environments accessible over the internet through a high-speed connection. At first, they feel like games, but after some time exploring you begin to realize that it’s not all stimulation: It’s intuitive, interactive, collaborative, and social. These virtual worlds have not only begun to attract attention from companies seeking better conferencing tools, considerable attention has been delivered by educators who believe that virtual worlds have a place in the educational discourse through ‘immersive learning’ - worlds that can offer course content in a virtual setting in different ways that students can immerse themselves in, rather than requiring the student to be adaptive to the material.
  • According to Calongne, “Virtual world classrooms use a mix of media-rich course materials”, and “since a student’s understanding of complex content may be hazy, offering information in a variety of ways allows students to use the information and virtual environment around them to solve problems and create solutions for their projects.” Suddenly, students are a part of the learning and not just mindlessly assimilating concepts before storing this information in the back of their minds for the long term. Now, they can experience it.

ERIC PDF Download - 1 views

  •  
    I am a firm believer in the Myers-Briggs as important information for the learner and the instructor. I understand myself much better through the lens of the this personality type instrument and would like my students to have the same access to understanding the ways they interact, learn, and process information. There are free online "take offs" of the full inventory as well as links to the full instrument for $29.

    As a seasoned teacher with a passion for technology integration, I believe in the power of classroom webpages to enhance communication and foster student engagement. Throughout my career, I have utilized my classroom webpage as a hub of information, providing students and parents with essential updates on class schedules, assignments, and upcoming events. By sharing learning resources, such as interactive websites and supplementary materials, I aim to support my students' academic growth and encourage self-directed learning. In alignment with privacy regulations and school policies, I am diligent in not posting any personal or confidential information about myself or my students on the webpage. Instead, I showcase exemplary student work, celebrating their achievements and motivating other learners. Obtaining proper consent from parents or guardians before sharing any student images is a top priority, ensuring a respectful and safe digital space for all. On my webpage, I clearly communicate classroom policies and expectations, fostering a positive and respectful learning environment. I prioritize inclusivity and avoid posting content that could be controversial or offensive, ensuring a neutral space for all students and their families. By focusing on educational content and classroom-related information, I steer clear of commercial or advertisement material. My goal is to utilize the webpage as a collaborative platform, fostering open communication between students, parents, and myself. As technology continues to evolve, I remain committed to adapting my webpage to meet the ever-changing needs of my diverse learners, enhancing their learning experience and fostering their success.
