The Discovery Technique For Teaching Grammar: Just Get Out Of The Way And See How Much ... - 2 views

  • the discovery technique has three primary benefits
  • First
  • since students are solving a grammar mystery, they tend to pay more attention and stay more engaged
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • They are discovering it for themselves
  • Secondly, students who learn with the discovery technique tend to remember the rules of grammar better because they have played a part in discovering them
  • The final benefit might be the greatest of all. Because they have learned grammar by figuring out the rules from context, students familiar with this technique have an easier time figuring out unfamiliar grammar structures they encounter in the future
  • Instead, students are given content in which the target structure is used. Students then discover the grammatical rule or figure out the pattern for themselves. The teacher’s role is to guide students to their own discovery, not to give students the information on the grammar rule.

    My y1s are really enjoying Scratchjr, great for younger children, and as it's a free app it's good for the school budget too.
  •  
    My 5 year old daughter loves Scratch Jr. She had a tutorial from us initially, but was able to use the software independently very quickly, to her own delight.
  •  
    I as a teacher love scratch. And of course for the students too, scratch is fun way of learning.
  •  
    I am began teaching coding this semester in my computer lab. I haven't played with scratch too much but look forward to using with my kids next week.
  •  
    I have used the computer version of Scratch with students in grades 3-6 (in Australia). My colleagues were amazed when students produced maze games where if the player bumped into the maze walls they were returned to the start - little did they know how easy it was once we got the hang of the coding. Great stuff.
  •  
    Actually there is also a new curriculum for Scratch with worksheets: http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/guide/download.html It has also been translated into several languages. This is a very helpful tool if you want to start introducing programming to a class. I have been using it now twice, and I am happy with the outcome. In particular the worksheets are so helpful and give you more time to support the individual child.
  •  
    I have use code.org as an introduction before using scratch. It allows the children participate it in games involving angry birds, plants vs zombies, flappy birds and the disney frozen characters.

Educational Technology Is Making Achievement Gaps Even Bigger - 2 views

  •  
    "The very tool designed to level the playing field is, in fact, un-leveling it," they wrote in a 2012 book based on their Philadelphia library study. With the spread of educational technology, they predicted, "the not-so-small disparities in skills for children of affluence and children of poverty are about to get even larger."

    This is a tool I used to play in the classroom, there are thousands of quizes created but the best of all it's that i can create my own, even recycling other's questions. It is a nice way to promote competition among students, and to motivate them to seld evaluate their knowledge.
  •  
    I learned about this during the shut down. I created some times table quizzes and it was great because you can ask questions in a variety of ways. Audio Questions, pictures or written. Great tool, and the self marking and statistics provided are very helpful.
