  • incorporating coding helps students gain skills such as sequencing, problem solving, math concepts, as well as perseverance so that they will become better readers, writers, and mathematicians. I believe that making the time during the school day will prove beneficial for all students.

    Kim, I browsed through this blog a little bit to check out some of the posts and they seem awesome! I believe this blog can be an amazing resource for educators and I could use it efficiently in my future classroom for ideas, motivation, and support. I believe this resource is mostly for teachers as it is a blog about the future of our schools with mainly content focused for teachers. I have posted a similar blog, Wesley A. Fryer's, on our class diigo page, you might want to check it out! Thank you for this resource!

    I thought that this was an interesting article when it came to evaluating teachers and the difference between teacher who use gaming in the classroom and those who don't I think however it would have been more interesting to hear more about the experiences of the "Barrier Busters" and the "Naturals" . I definitely appreciated the point that was made about how for Naturals gaming is not considered as some innovation and instead as a teaching tool. What would be the significance of having the number of years the teacher has been teaching?

Kids Will Be Kids: 8 Easy Strategies to Engage Students | - 2 views

  • 2. Tea Party I have no idea where this name came from as there is no tea served, but the idea is a fun one. Give every student a quote on a related topic. For example, during Fahrenheit 451 the quotes relate to conformity and nonconformity. When we read Lord of the Flies, the quotes are all about human nature. The students have to read their quote to as many classmates as they can in 5 minutes. Then we have a follow up conversation as a class about the quotes they found most interesting and powerful. Just the act of standing up and moving around makes this activity fun for students.
  • 5. Crowdsource Instead of Lecturing It’s not fun for students to sit still, listen and take notes for a prolonged period of time. I’ve tried to replace some direct instruction with crowdsourcing. Instead of telling students about Shakespeare’s sonnets or life during the Great Depression, I allow them to work in groups with their devices to research information and share it with the class.
  • Storytime Every week I ask students to sit on the floor for a children’s story. At first they think I am crazy, but they love this routine. Regardless of the subject you teach, there are awesome picture books on a related topic. I’d make time to read to your students.

  • Alexis Johns on 11 Oct 15
     
    These strategies are great suggestions. I especially like the idea of four corners. I feel like I could use it when I have students do current technology articles. I also like tea party, that would be a great way to introduce a careers research assignment, giving each student a basic definition of a career in the field and having the "tea party" before they choose their topic. I feel that this is geared towards teachers looking to improve their classroom and shift more toward a learner-centered room. As the blog states, it is also a great resource for teachers who have especially active students.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this article! When I first clicked on it I expected it to be elementary based like so many engagement articles are. But then I realized it was for secondary so good for me! The main thing I pulled out of this article was the idea for crowd sourcing. It seems like a simple concept but I had never thought of it before. I think this is a great resource for teachers and I plan on using the crowd sourcing technique on Tuesday!

Student technology ipad techissues

shared by Ping Gao on 06 Oct 15 - No Cached
  • I’ve seen students with iPads and the novelty is there and the engagement is there, but it’s not clear that novelty and engagement will lead to increased academic achievement,”
  • One big challenge can be how to frame curriculum design using the technology so that it moves beyond novelty and engagement into deep learning.  This takes time, patience, and observation.

  • Resistant means "refusing to accept new ideas or changes." This label carries a layer of judgment that may prevent us from trying to understand our coachee's reality, dilemmas, competing commitments, or even aspirations.
  • Inquiry is an ongoing process of asking questions and examining evidence in order to improve our practice.
  • What might be underneath the resistance I'm feeling?

  • How safe does she feel to discuss weaknesses in her practice?
  • Above all else, approach your coachee with humility.
  • When I arrive at coaching with equal parts humility and confidence in what I have to offer, I inevitably can see past "resistance" to the person in front of me - with her own unique story, values, and capacities to build from.

    At my school, access to technology (i.e., laptops or computer labs) is not always equitable. Some teachers have nearly 1:1 access, while others (like myself) have to schedule weeks in advance for access -- and even then, can only schedule three days in a row. Thankfully, there are ways to teach our students 21st Century Skills (such as critical thinking, etc.) without having to possess a 1:1 environment. This article gives some examples.
  • prierj on 15 Nov 17
     
    I like how the article gave ways for educators to teach effectively with technology without 1:1 as you mentioned. This isn't something that is commonly thought about so I'm glad this article touched on it!
