    Hey David, I liked this video! It really gave a good layout to what SAMR does, what the idea behind it is, and just helped get the idea out. It will come in handy when it comes time for us to break it down and figure out how we want to portray these ideas in our project!

    I have never heard of this website prior to this link. I think it is great for teacher and students because of the collaboration feature. I would definitely use this as a shared experience with my future students!

    Mindmeister is a great resource for students! Graphic organizers are a powerful tool to help organize thinking. Mindmeister's ability to bring collaboration into the mix just makes it better, as well as being able to present. Works on multiple types of devices too, so good for everyone!

    I really like this software! When I think of Social Bookmarking I want to use it to help me find different tools that will benefit me in my classroom. I can think of a time where I am going to want a nice mind mapping software that you can collaborate with, and I know I will be able to come and look at this resource. I agree that this software could be used very effectively, especially because it does have the collaboration tool. I believe this tool could be used both for the teacher and also the student. I could see how easily I could use this website in my life, both when trying to explain things and also in group work. I am aware of different concept maps you can create online, but I believe this one looks user friendly and I would like to explore it even more!

Nine Strategies for Reaching All Learners in English - 0 views

  • Readers and Writers Workshop is an instructional model that focuses on students as learners, as well as readers and writers in practice. As readers and writers, students are mentored, working in a supportive and collaborative environment with their mentor on touchstone texts.
  • As a middle school ELA teacher, I continue to collaborate with my peers in the building and across the school district. I participate in planning and designing instruction, inquiry-based studies, and collaborative coaching and learning. These activities have provided me with a repertoire of research-based best practices to engage the readers and writers in my ELA classroom.
  • From the first day of school, we encourage students to choose the books they read. We model how to choose and review a book for reading. We also encourage students to choose books at their independent reading level rather than at their frustration or difficult level. Students read for 30 minutes daily and complete an entry on the reading.

  • Provide instruction in basic reading strategies using reciprocal teaching practice that includes predicting, visualizing, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing.
  • Teach students to mark or highlight text for main ideas and also for answers to specific questions. Text annotation is an excellent method to make meaning and provide evidence to support answers.
  • Use t-chart graphic organizers to have them identify specific lines from a text and explain their thoughts about the lines.

    Great site giving proof that flipping the classroom works! This site is a great place to start because she did a lot of the research for you and gives a list of great sources to get you started.

    I liked this site. It gives webcasts and web pages that you can look at. A great place to look for ideas if beginning the process of flipping. I have saved it to my library and plan to dig deeper into the many resources the author shared.

    How to use the social media Facebook, generally perceived as a distraction, as tool for education
  •  
    Really great step by step information on how to safely use FB in the classroom. Bold statement by the author of the article: We have an obligation as educators to model appropriate online behavior and learn right along our students.
  •  
    I think this is a great resource for using Facebook safely in the classroom. The article is definitely directed towards teachers. It provides nice step-by-step instructions for locking down the privacy of what you post to maintain that professional relationship with students and their parents.

Introducing Social Media to Elementary Students | Edutopia - 2 views

  • However, I also agree that social media pervades all aspects of modern society, and it has become an imperative for us as educators -- and parents -- to model appropriate digital citizenship to even our youngest learners. Do I really believe that toddlers should have Twitter handles? Not really. But we do need to introduce children to the virtual, social world around them in appropriate and meaningful ways? Definitely.
  • Students already have enough screen time. Students need to be able to communicate in person. Students don't need to know about social media at this point -- it isn't age appropriate.

  • Whether you introduce social media to students through a class blog, individual student blogs, Twitter or paper, there is no "right way" to begin. Do I really feel that toddlers should Tweet? Probably not. However, what's important is that we introduce all children to social media in appropriate and meaningful ways, regardless of their age, such that they can connect to a global audience and develop as empowered, networked learners.

    Understanding and tips for introducing social technology into elementary classrooms
  •  
    I really agree with this resource. I think there are a lot of concerns with starting young students on social media so early, but there are also so many important reasons as to why we should as well! I love the idea of creating physical blog walls for younger students. This introduces students to the concept of posting, tagging, and commenting without being exposed to the internet quite yet. Awesome ideas for teachers to introduce social media in the early elementary classroom!

How HyperDocs Can Transform Your Teaching | Cult of Pedagogy - 4 views

  •  
    This article talks about the concept of "hyperdocs" which puts everything a student needs for a unit or a learning cycle into one document to streamline the process and make learning more efficient for students.
  • ...1 more comment...

    I love this article! I actually just decided to do something similar. I am giving my students a doc that has everything we are doing in this lesson. I have given checkpoints and this is allowing the students to go at their own pace. I am daily checking in to see who needs more structure, and I will still do regular instruction to those who need/want it. I think this is a great tool for teachers.
  •  
    This was a very interesting article for me because I am not knowledgable of hyperdocs. As I am reading, I am realizing that it is similar to WebQuests. I love the flexibility, the fewer lectures, and privacy of students taking ownership of their own learning. This definitely fits with Voice&Choice! Since I am less knowledgable on this topic, I love how it gave models. You can tell it was made by teachers! This article really lays it out for the reader!
  •  
    Great resource for teachers to get them started with using hyperdocs. This will be very useful to help me with using hyperdocs in my classroom. I have heard of hyperdocs before and came across the Hyperdoc Handbook before on Amazon. I did not know all the details of what they entailed and this article did a great job of providing a clear explanation, examples, templates, and the benefits of using them. I loved creating webquests for my students years ago, and after reading this article I understand that hyperdocs takes webquests to the next level. I am going to share this article with my colleagues because this would be a great way for us to differentiate and provide choice to students.

How Do You Define 21st-Century Learning? - Education Week - 1 views

  • The term "21st-century skills" is generally used to refer to certain core competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving that advocates believe schools need to teach to help students thrive in today's world.
  • The research, to date, has provided no evidence that having either computers or whiteboards in schools has any positive effect on students’ reading and writing proficiencies.
  • Twenty-first-century learning means that students master content while producing, synthesizing, and evaluating information from a wide variety of subjects and sources with an understanding of and respect for diverse cultures. Students demonstrate the three Rs, but also the three Cs: creativity, communication, and collaboration.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Embracing a 21st-century learning model requires consideration of those elements that could comprise such a shift: creating learners who take intellectual risks, fostering learning dispositions, and nurturing school communities where everyone is a learner.
  • Twenty-first-century technology should be seen as an opportunity to acquire more knowledge, not an excuse to know less.
  • We need classroom leaders setting an ambitious vision, rallying others to work hard to achieve it, planning and executing to ensure student learning, and defining the very notion of teaching as changing the life paths of students.
  • Twenty-first-century learning will ultimately be “learner-driven.”
  • But being able to Google is no substitute for true understanding. Students still need to know and deeply understand the history that brought them and our nation to where we are today.
  • Technology allows for 24/7 access to information, constant social interaction, and easily created and shared digital content. In this setting, educators can leverage technology to create an engaging and personalized environment to meet the emerging educational needs of this generation.
  • he term "21st-century skills" is generally used to refer to certain core competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving that advocates believe schools need to teach to help students thrive in today's world.
  • Twenty-first-century learning embodies an approach to teaching that marries content to skill. Without skills, students are left to memorize facts, recall details for worksheets, and relegate their educational experience to passivity. Without content, students may engage in problem-solving or team-working experiences that fall into triviality, into relevance without rigor
  • Twenty-first-century learning will ultimately be “learner-driven.”

    Takes many view points on how to define 21st-Century Learning and Skills
  •  
    This is a nice tool for teachers to use. I know that I can definitely take a look at it for my own classroom. Learning definitely changes with the use of technology and how accessibly it can be for students to learn facts.
  •  
    I think this resource is very applicable to my classroom because one of my main goals to to have my students evaluate and create which is what a lot of the article discussed. Overall this is more for teacher use as it is discussing 21st century skills and what they look like. Also it comes from the Teacher PD source book. I shared an article that was very similar to this that covered 10 signs of a 21st century classroom.
  •  
    I really like the way that this article breaks down 21st Century learning and dispels the myth that 21st Century Learning is the same as learning with technology. I especially like the quote that you highlighted that states "Twenty-first-century learning means that students master content while producing, synthesizing, and evaluating information from a wide variety of subjects and sources with an understanding of and respect for diverse cultures." I think this is a useful article that helps us focus on what will truly help students become 21st Century thinkers, instead of just figuring out ways to have them do their work on the computer.
  •  
    This is a great article and gives me a great definition to wrap my head around. One item I feel is really applicable to learning in no matter the date is "...students master content while producing, synthesizing, and evaluating information from a wide variety of subjects and sources with an understanding of and respect for diverse cultures." Otherwise really good information! Thanks for sharing this.
  •  
    I think this website is a great start when it comes to thinking about teaching 21st century skills. Before you can understand something, you must understand the definition of it. I think it is important to note that 21st century learning is not the same as teaching/learning with technology. This website would be especially useful for teachers, because they need to understand 21st century learning before they can teach it. Great article, thanks for sharing!
