“So if there’s anything else on your desk right now, please put that inside your desk.” He mimics what he wants the students to do with a neat underhand pitch. A few students in the front put papers away. “Just like you’re doing, thank you very much,” Zimmerli says, pointing to one of them. Another desk emerges neat; Zimmerli targets it. “Thank you, sir.” “I appreciate it,” he says, pointing to another. By the time he points to one last student — “Nice . . . nice” — the headphones are gone, the binder has clicked shut and everyone is paying attention. Lemov switched off the video. “Imagine if his first direction had been, ‘Please get your things out for class,’ ” he said. Zimmerli got the students to pay attention not because of some inborn charisma, Lemov explained, but simply by being direct and specific. Children often fail to follow directions because they really don’t know what they are supposed to do.

3. Establishing Rules. Establish a set of classroom rules to guide the behavior of students at once. Discuss the rationale of these rules with the students to ensure they understand and see the need for each rule. Keep the list of rules short. The rules most often involve paying attention, respect for others, excessive noise, securing materials and completion of homework assignments.

5. Learning Names. Devise a seating arrangement whereby students' names are quickly learned. Calling a student by his or her name early in the year gives the student an increased sense of well being. It also gives a teacher greater control of situations. "JOHN, stop talking and finish your work" is more effective than "Let us stop talking and finish our work".

This website focuses on the very essential teching practice of classroom management. This is specifically geared towards elementary- high school classrooms, where structure is necessary all of the time. i chose this because it relates to Brain Rules 5 and 6. Repetition is EXTREMELY important for elementary, middle, and high school students when it comes to teacher expectations and policies. This gives good advice to teachers to help them manage their classrooms.

and for the bright and well motivated. Expecting students to perform well becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. WebCT Tip: Provide students examples of "A"-quality work. Release statistics along with grades, so that students can see how they are performing as compared to the rest of the class (stats can give the mean grade and/or the frequencies). Use the "Selective Release" feature to release course info only as students achieve a certain level of success on a test.

This visual represenation of Web 2.0 technologies offers much to discuss and think about.
-
The defininition linked from Wikipedia is also helpful.
-
the wheel itself has me thinking about how we compose in different genres and modes in the twenty-first century and how we can encourage our students to move in this direction as well.
-
I really like this visual. With the emphasis on social networks, I am slightly surprised that the "social" portion of the wheel is not larger.
-
I agree, but there is so much going on in the wheel, it's easy to get lost. I had a hard time selecting a good definition. Others focused more on the social aspect.The wheel is a good way to veer off in many directions.
-
I like this visual. It really breaks down the categories of Web 2.0
-
What's useful about this wheel is that it breaks down the concept of Web 2.0 into so many smaller components that make up the whole. On a personal note, I am sometimes overwhelmed with stimuli of this sort.
-
The use of different sized font is interesting to me. It appears to signify importance and assist the reader in choosing the order in which to read definitions. However, this is entirely subjective.
-
I am not a fan of visual represenation because I am an audio learner. However, this interactive visual is interesting. It really makes one consider the application of Web 2.0 features. It also makes me realize they are infinite applications of Web 2.0 and may explain why people stick to the social ones. I find it interesting that a category for education is missing.

web 2.0...is about making the Internet useful for computers.

I think these definitions relate to reading and writing because we read and write for different purposes. The definition of web 2.0 I selected mirrors the same intent. Web 2.0 tools are platforms for various purposes. I think if we can fin the appropriate web 2.0 school for out reading or writing purpose we can make these practices natural. From all my research on web 2.0 tools a reoccurring purpose was business.

The Web as Platform", because I can then fill in the blanks depending on who I'm talking to. For corporate people, the Web is a platform for business. For marketers, the Web is a platform for communications. For journalists, the Web is a platform for new media. For geeks, the Web is a platform for software development. And so on.

I like the term "usability" as it pertains to writing instruction. Learning to write effectively in one's field is very difficult without the added complication of learning technology as well. The usability of Web 2.0 may prevent further complication or confusion and in fact, assist with the learning process.

I like the way that wiki breaks this idea into several different major headings that can be easily evaluated. The one thing that I always take from wiki pages is the references though. I jumped around in several different places on this way. In particular, connecting back to the original O'reilly "What is Web 2.0" piece (http://oreilly.com/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html).

Widgets for Web 2.0: What is Web 2.0 - 5 views

Web 2.0 is all about the following and more... 1. User Centric and User Oriented2. Web Services, Web API's3. Widgets, Gadgets, Mashup's4. Blogs, Feeds, Wiki's, Tagging, Podcasting 5. Social profile 6. Social bookmarking 7. Client rich technologies like CSS, HTML, DOM, XML, AJAX, JSON, XHTML, REST, SOAP
-
I really like that the first item is focused on the user writer.
-
From what I've read, that's a big part of the concept of Web 2.0-- user centeredness, and letting users get the most out of the Internet in the easiest way possible. There is so much available, but it's no good if the general public can't benefit from it.
-
The simplicity of the definition you highlighted in green seems to be show up in many articles/definitions. I like that we can break down the definition into pieces and then expand the pieces to a more meaningful idea of what Web 2.0 means. I think this ability to expand on simplified ideas is what attracted me to the wheel in one of the definitions I posted.
-
I like lists and use them frequently to order my life and my writing, so a list-type definition of this nature helps simplify the Web 2.0 concept.

Image -specifically the words in orange- make me think of the teaching world because they all highlight issues in the field of rhet/comp right now.
-
What do the words in pink make you think?
-
I suppose teaching and my own learning. It gets more into the nitty gritty of it al? It brings in the New Media aspect of rhet/comp?
