    People are designing Computer Tutors? What are you're thoughts? Personally, I can see them being a strong asset, but I don't feel they should ever be used as a substitute for human interaction.

  • about 15% of the K-12 population - are out of school 18 or more days of the school year.
  • students who skip more than 10 days of school are significantly (about 20%) less likely to get a high school diploma.  And they’re 25% less likely to enroll in higher education.
  • parental encouragement to attend school was the most widely cited factor in what would make students want to go to class diligently.

  • “If we - parents, educators, and even celebrities - show them we truly care about them, their aspirations and frustrations, they will be more likely to care about making it to school,”

  • limitations of group decision making, a context in which extroverts dominate and the creative thinking of introverts most often gets lost

      I see this a lot is group building exercises. I like giving the students a puzzle to solve. Often the quiet ones have the answer quickly, but the group continues to struggle because nobody is listening to the quiet kid.
  • rewards for classroom engagement should not be measured only by oral contributions
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Many of my best students were ones who rarely spoke in the large group, were active in smaller groups (and the smaller the better) and had a great deal to share with me privately in papers.
  • Our classrooms contain too many forgotten introverted students who may need help but are not getting it and/or have gifts that aren't being either elicited or supported.

      Not all quiet kids are troubled - should not assume "something is wrong", but many have a lot to offer a class if given an opportunity to contribute in a way that they can feel comfortable.
  • Emily Wampler on 12 Sep 12
     
    Insightful article about the need to include space for introverts to shine in areas of their talents, too. I like the emphasis not on "overcoming" introversion, but instead on helping introverts use their strengths. Definitely a good reminder to pay attention to all our students, not just the ones jumping up and down all day long.

      I agree with most of this article, but I wonder if occasionally the use of names (calling on specific children as examples) can still be appropriate?  Why are we so afraid of hurting other kids feelings?  Or is that never acceptable nowadays?
  • Say what you see, not how you feel.
  • Name only behaviors that have actually occurred.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Although the intention is good, using general praise on its own does little to help students understand your expectations and recognize their own achievements.
  • Avoid naming some students as examples for others
  • Use those opportunities to offer specific feedback focused on children's positive behaviors.
  • Each bit of such feedback will help students understand your expectations, build on their strengths, and recognize themselves as competent and independent learners.

      This seems like a case of 1. a miscommunication between professor expectations for collaboration and student understanding of these expectations and 2. students being led to believe that little to no work could be done and an a would be received

    It's also probably a case of students relying on ratemyprofessor to help them choose the easiest courses possible...
