By Wendy S. Bray elling children that they can learn from their mistakes is common practice. Yet research indicates that many teachers in the United States limit public attention to errors during math- ematics lessons (Bray 2011; Santagata 2005). Some believe that drawing attention to errors publicly may embarrass error m

This research article provides an overview of how transformative learning experiences can be created through instructional design.  The aim is to use instruction to make learning more experiential, personally relevant and transformative to students.  The authors explain a framework for providing transformative learning experiences, including several indicators that fall into the categories of developing personal meaning, competence with the subject and relationships.  The authors also present guidelines for designing these experiences, including applying design fundamentals, crafting the learning experience and teaching and facilitating to inspire learning.

ALIMA students: Teaching learning as a skill- not a consequence

Although a lens to view the future is clouded, and must be filtered through the past and present, the ability to stand back and think about the impact of technologies on student learning will undergird research in technology for the education of children, youth, and adults with disabilities in the 21st century. We must view the coming changes, and they will be massive, from the perspective that technology provides access to learning but does not control it; that technologies are not the content of education鉹ather, they provide a cornucopia of tools for learning.

This article is by Dr. Hoffman, Associate Professor and Coordinator of the ALIMA program at UCF. It provides guidelines for creating digital learning materials for those with accessibility issues, such as learning disabilities, or vision and motor impairments. The fact that I had no idea that's what the article was about (I was thinking about general accessibility for everyone) is an indication that this is a topic that deserves more attention, awareness, and application in practice. The article will be freely available as a PDF from this webpage when on campus or logged into the UCF proxy server.

This website is a compiled a list of some of the tech tools, including some that are becoming increasingly popular and widely used, that should be part of any teacher's tech tool arsenal this year, whether for their own personal use or as educational aids in the classroom. These resources are categorized under four categories: Social Learning, Learning, Lesson Planning and Tools, and Useful Tools. The "Social Learning" section includes tools that use social media to help students learn and teachers connect. Tools listed under "Learning" includes educational resources to help teachers make lessons fun, interesting and more effective. "Lesson Planning and Tools" provides teachers with tech tools to pull together lessons and design amazing and memorable student projects. Last but not least, "Useful Tools" can help teachers stay connected, organized, and increase the ease of building multimedia lessons and Learning tools.

I was turned on to this site in my Elementary Ed program. I used this in my 6th and 8th grade classes as ice breakers and for groups. Knowing a students learning style can assist with many overlooked academic and discipline issues. One example, kids that looked bored in lecture classes really loved the hands on labs and vice versa. Trying to hit multiple learning styles helps reach more learners and increases the exposure to the learning goals.
