  • maintain that the new standards are a move away from No Child Left Behind because they focus on developing
  • But because a standardized test will be used to evaluate how effectively students are learning those skills, the temptation to try and teach to the test still exists.

    This article gives tips as to how to balance teaching by the standards but by also teaching at the pace of the students.

  • Video your direct instruction and then watch it.

    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.

  • 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 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.

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.

      Begin with the standards. What are your students expected to know and/or be able to do as a result of your teaching and THEN  how might technology expedite or enhance the learning.

      The key here is to actually have students CREATE not just Control-C/Conotrol-V it.  Take information from multiple sources, synthesize it, evaluate it, learn it and then create something (a document, a podcast, a digital poster, a Voice Thread and ThingLink) to demonstrate they have learned it.

  • Integrating technology is an ongoing project. You are never finished. The key is to keep on learning.

  • 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.

  • QuickCast is another option to add to your toolbox to access when you need to create a short instructional video for your students or colleagues. Creating screencasts can be a good way for students to practice giving clear and direct presentations of information. One of my former colleagues used to have her students create screencasts as means for practicing scripting and narrating while teaching their classmates about help aspects of software on their laptops.
