    This is an important article for teachers to use when using technology in the classroom. I feel that it is important to use technology within the classroom but that also there needs to be breaks, especially with handheld devices.

    As a consumer of today's culture myself. I have no idea what most of these apps are and how to use them in their own right. What importance do these really have in my classroom and what do they have to do with better understandings of chemical concepts.

  • 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.

Self Assessment Feedly

  • 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.

Teaching Students to Embrace Mistakes | Edutopia - 0 views

  • 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.

Rethinking Class Ranking | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Still, class rank has real consequences. While colleges and universities are often more interested in course rigor than class rank in their applicant pool, there are instances in which class rank is quite important. For example, the University of Texas at Austin provides automatic admission (1) to students graduating in the top X percent of their class (X varies annually based on the percent needed to fill 75 percent of available Texas resident spaces).
  • Guskey points out that some schools are adopting a Latin honor system similar to that of colleges and universities, in which students meeting certain requirements can graduate cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude, and that other schools name multiple valedictorians based on rigorous academic criteria.

    Out with the old in with the ancient. Our culture has a history of ditching what in recent for something that is ancient such as a latin based ranking system. I think this raises a bigger and better question. Should grades matter and what does a grade mean?
