Analyzing Documents Teach students the process of document analysis, the foundation for working with primary sources: 1. Meet the document. 2. Observe its parts. 3. Try to make sense of it. 4. Use it as historical evidence. Learning Objectives: Think through primary source documents (photos, written documents, artifacts, posters, maps, cartoons, videos, or sound recordings) for contextual understanding. Extract information to make informed judgments. Internalize the process of analyzing primary source documents."

"Draftback is a Chrome extension that indexes the revision history of a document then allows you to watch a video of the doc being created.  You can watch as a document goes from a blank page to the final version that was submitted for a grade.  This is helpful on two fronts: 1. Clicking the document graph and statistics will show you exactly how much time each student spent creating the file.  This makes it very easy to see who participated in a group assignment. 2. Think a student plagiarized something?  You can watch to see if large portions of text were pasted onto the document from an outside source.  This is a great way to keep the student's honest."

"If solving story problems brings back grade school anxiety, you are certainly not alone. Many students struggle with word problems. Such problems are more challenging because they require skills higher on Bloom's Taxonomy, including evaluating, analyzing, and creating. We may feel comfortable (relatively speaking) with math when simply given an expression to evaluate, but it can be quite a bit more difficult to decide what is important, determine relationships, see what is missing, and construct a plan to solve a problem. A while back I did a blog post on "Highlight Tool", an add-on for Google Docs that allows you to assign meaning to colors with which you can highlight text in your document. In that example I primarily applied the tool to language arts situations." This is not just limited to mathematics. Have students use the Highlighter during active reading time in all courses.
