4 Ways We Can Connect With Parents - 0 views

  • Share student work.  Parents don’t go to a Christmas Concert to see the teacher; they go to see their child.  If you give them opportunities to see different work from students, they are more likely to be interested in the places you are communicating then by simply posting homework assignments.  Make opportunities for parents to look at the learning and creation that is happening in schools to make it more meaningful for them.
    • Pedro Aparicio
       
      Once you involve parents to participate in their child's learning process, they can be engaged to work collaboratively with you. Parents love to see what their kids are actually doing in the classroom. 
    • Pedro Aparicio
       
      Here you can find more ideas how to connect with parents. I try to share my students' works with parents as much as possible. And it really works.

  • looks at an image carefully, critically, and with an eye for the intentions of the image’s creator.
  • teachers work to help students not only to decode words but also to make sense of what they read.
  • Observation, as we’ve noted, is integral to science. Critique, useful in considering what should be included in an essay in Language Arts, is also a part of examining a visual image. Deconstruction, employed in mathematical problem solving, is used with images to crop and evaluate elements and how they relate to the whole. Discerning point of view or bias is important in analyzing advertisements and works of art.

How Computerized Tutors Are Learning to Teach Humans - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Human teachers and tutors are susceptible to what cognitive scientists call the “expert blind spot” — once we’ve mastered a body of knowledge, it’s hard to imagine what novices don’t know — but computers have no such mental block.
  • A computer never gets impatient or annoyed. But it never gets excited or enthusiastic either.
  • SSISTments and other computerized tutoring systems have focused primarily on math, a subject suited to computers’ binary language.
