Why Teachers Need Social Media Training, Not Just Rules | Spotlight on Digital Media an... - 6 views

  •  
    Under a new set of social media guidelines (pdf) issued by the New York City Department of Education, teachers are required to obtain a supervisor's approval before creating a "professional social media presence," which is broadly defined as "any form of online publication or presence that allows interactive communication, including, but not limited to, social networks, blogs,  internet websites,  internet forums, and wikis." 
  •  
    Great insight into educating teachers about the use of social media within their schools so that they can help students navigate these waters as well.

  • Track participation: Assign a wiki page to a group project, and then individual pages for each student to show their participation.

      I like this idea. Moves towards student ownership of learning. This is an easy formative assessment piece to put in place.
  • Solving wiki: Post difficult math problems, such as calculus, so that the class can collaboratively solve them.

    great ideas for multiple uses of wikis - with examples of each, however some of these links don't work.

Digital Student Portfolios: A Whole-School Approach | MiddleWeb - 73 views

    The particular software and services used to create these portfolios is a subject of some interest, to be sure, but it is secondary to the "big idea" itself: compiling a dynamic collection of information from many sources, in many forms and with many purposes, all aimed at presenting the most complete story possible of a student's learning experience.

      SCROLL DOWN FOR AN IMPORTANT RULE FOR SENTENCES WITH MULTIPLE VERBS (BACK TO BACK VERBS)
  • When a sentence has two verbs, the first verb is conjugated and the second verb remains in the infinitive form.

  • In sentences with two verbs, there are two options regarding the placement of the indirect object pronoun.
  • Here are examples of the indirect object pronoun placed before the conjugated verb:
  • Here are examples of the indirect object pronoun attached directly to the infinitive:
  • Here are the two methods side by side. Neither method is "better" than the other.
  • you must learn to recognize whole groups of words, rather than inspecting each word independently.
  • Your success in being able to recognize these groups is largely dependent upon having learned previous material -- namely verb conjugation.
  • You need to be able to quickly recognize a conjugated verb and an infinitive. You need to automatically recognize "necesito comprar" as "I need to buy."
  • If you can do that, it is just one small step to recognize "te necesito comprar" as "I need to buy for you." From there, the final step is easy: "Te necesito comprar un regalo."

      How quickly are you able to recognize and produce conjugations of key verbs?  Most students are not as confident with conjugation as they should be when they start studying object pronouns.  No wonder it does not come easy!  Want to fix this?   Visit this link to practice conjugating common irregular verbs in the present tense.  If you like it, keep practicing all the other tenses you need to know!

      And this is what I have the most issues with. I have an active disdain for the "transfer of knowledge" model and want to inspire staff and students to focus on the SKILLS, which I believe are the indicators of lifelong learning and a valuable education experience.
  • self-concepts are extremely resistant to change, even in the light of facts that clearly contradict them (Swann, 1992).
  • Stated more positively, with more balance between the various levels, the teacher will experience less inner and outer frictions. Ideally, there is a complete “alignment” of the levels, which means that the teacher's behavior, competencies, beliefs, identity and mission together form one coherent whole matching the environment.

Dr. Larry Dossey: Is Technology Making Children More Empathic? - 25 views

  • The shift into the distributed ICT [Information and Communications Technology] revolution, however, and the proliferation of social networks and collaborative forms of engagement on the Internet are creating deep fissures in the orthodox approach to education. The result is that a growing number of educators are beginning to revise curricula by introducing distributed and collaborative learning models into the classroom.
  • that media use among kids is so pervasive that it is time to stop arguing over whether it is good or bad and accept it as part of children's environment
  • Many observers such as Rifkin believe there are positives in the desire of kids to be electronically connected all the time. Concealed in this behavior, they say, is a need for acceptance and to be liked and loved, which is a healthy desire that has always been a part of the maturational process.

When Everything Clicks | Hidden Brain : NPR - 23 views

  •  
    This is a segment from NPR's HIdden Brain about Dr. Martin Levy's use of a clicker, usually used to train dogs, to train surgical students. It's fascinating. Essentially, the argument is made that clickers work so well because it is a form of feedback that does not use any verbal signals - no praise, no reprimand, no "good job," no "not like that." Praise and criticism distract a learner from mastering the skill being taught, making a learner focus instead on pleasing the teacher. With nonverbal feedback, the learner doesn't focus on the teacher but on the skill being taught
