  • There are so many ways to use mobile devices with students. You can create interactive textbooks (1) for children to read, ask them to explain their thinking through screencasting (2) or help them access informational text using QR codes (3). Mobile devices can also be used to help students practice foundational math skills and build their math fluency.

    This seems to be more fun than educational. This seems that we are trying to hard to push integration. Why is it so important to integrate? How is this a better way to teach? In the SAMR model this seems to be mere substitution and boring.

  • understand that being an adult doesn't mean the end of reading for business or pleasure, just the continuation of a lifelong series of opportunities.
  • set a standard of reading for children is to take advantage of any opportunity within your school or city where adults read to children.

  • Seeing adults reading does more than set an example
  • children hear you model inflection and intonation (prosody),
  • It's priceless when
  • connect adults with opportunities to read to children and provide reading material through book giveaways and community partnerships such as Little Free Library (9).
  • correlate pictures with words
  • correct yourself on pronunciation or phrasing
  • variations in cadence and tone,
  • nuanced communication through the spoken word.
  • I guarantee that they will cite their personal experiences with a parent, teacher or another adult as a catalyst of their fondness for the written word.

Teaching Students to Embrace Mistakes | Edutopia - 0 views

mistakes students Feedly

shared by Davin Rose on 08 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • Telling students they need to take advantage of the feedback they get isn't just good advice
  • This latter category is called deliberate practice and involves isolating what's not working and mastering the difficult area before moving on.
  • Mistakes are the most important thing that happens in any classroom, because they tell you where to focus that deliberate practice.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • So why don't students view their mistakes as a valuable asset? Well, students don't think about their mistakes rationally -- they think about them emotionally. Mistakes make students feel stupid. "Stupid" is just that: a feeling. Specifically, it's the feeling of shame, and our natural response is to avoid its source. If we say something embarrassing, we hide our face. If we get a bad grade, we hide the test away. Unsurprisingly, that's the worst move to make if you ever want to get better. Academic success does not come from how smart or motivated students are. It comes from how they feel about their mistakes.
  • Changing your students' perspective on mistakes is the greatest gift you can give yourself as a teacher.
  • Davin Rose on 08 Apr 14
     
    If Students are not willing to accept mistakes they will never try out of fear of failing. Ultimately they will not make it anywhere with that mindset.

Technology and Teaching: Finding a Balance | Edutopia - 0 views

  • There is no doubt that finding the time to integrate technology is an overwhelming task for anyone. Throughout the course of a day, teachers find themselves pulled in many directions. However, technology is already integrated in nearly everything we do and nearly every job our students will encounter. So how do educators find an ideal balance for learning about and eventually integrating technology? It begins with a focus followed by good instructional design -- but ultimately, a healthy balance.
  • It's equally important to expose students to information literacy skill sets. As databases grow and information continues to evolve into paperless formats, it is essential to teach students how to question effectively and efficiently.
  • Getting caught up in the never ending, always expanding world of web 2.0 applications and iPad or Android apps will only confuse your students and, inevitably, frustrate you.

    This seems to be the real question at the end of the day. How much integration is necessary in order to have students being the most prepared for the real world and not just academia.

  • There are also some other pieces that make educators skeptical. It is a privatized exam through Pearson, costs $300, and is scored outside of the context of the teaching practice.
  • I believe a successful teacher is one that can awaken the curiosity of their students, illustrate the intrinsic value of the subject matter, and foster understanding rather than memorization.

    This is erie and exciting. Teachers who don't have to put in the same amount of time and training in the upfront aspect will be seen as different from those who have traditional training.

  • teachers who practice flipping have seen "higher student achievement, increased student engagement, and better attitudes toward learning and school."
  • But instead of having students view the content at home, that video becomes a station in class that small groups rotate through. The rest of their time is spent on other activities -- independent work and group work, with some activities related to the lesson and others focusing on different course content.
  • The teacher can observe whether students are really watching.

  • It doesn't make for tidy one-period lesson plans.
  • More preparation is required at the beginning.

    This is an interesting concept that allows the teacher more hands on time during the reflection side of education. This would become very helpful during certain lesson plans in the chemical classroom.

    The trap of teaching. Students trap teachers by asking questions to waste time in order that they don't have to continue on in the lessons particularly when it has worked in the past. Once students get away with it once they will continue to try it again and again.

How Assessment Can Lead to Deeper Learning | Edutopia - 0 views

Self Assessment Feedly

shared by Davin Rose on 08 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • The assessment process itself helps students develop critical thinking and analysis skills.
  • "Deeper learning is when a student learns something beyond the content, when they are able to apply their experiences, or knowledge gained in other classes, to what they are doing. It means internalizing information."
  • "Being put in a position to articulate a concept to an audience takes greater comprehension than just learning the idea for yourself. By talking about the project, I deepened my own knowledge of the math we were learning."
  • Davin Rose on 08 Apr 14
     
    Having students assess their own work may seem terrible at first, but if done properly they may begin to develop important critical thinking skills. This could be a great way to develop certain intuitions that students may have.
