    Open Educational Resources (OER) are high-quality, openly licensed, online educational materials that offer an extraordinary opportunity for people everywhere to share, use, and reuse knowledge. They also demonstrate great potential as a mechanism for instructional innovation as networks of teachers and learners share best practices.

    I believe this is a great resource because it assist in giving students and instructors high quality, low cost alternative solutions to increase their knowledge on a particular subject. This is a factor of self-leadership where the individual makes choices that can increase their ability to engage on topics in the classroom. This is of course only one choice in the plethora of available online learning resources. One alternative is the ROCC or Regional Online Collaborative Courses.

  • Teachers who are interested in shifting their classrooms often don’t know where to start.
  • Sometimes you may not understand why certain things aren’t working. Ask your students. I’m often surprised by how much they know and how adept they are at articulating what they need.

    This is a great resource to help teachers in the initiative of creating a leaner-centered classroom. The first week back to work, teachers and administrators in the district watched a video about the power of belief - mindset and success. This resource is mostly for teachers but it can positively affect students and their learning success. A similar resource that should be considered is the mindset works website: http://www.mindsetworks.com/. This site explains the science behind the concept of the growth mindset and explains the role of teachers, administrators, students and parents.

  • Our goal should be to find a tool that allows students to interact in an open-ended and creative way about topics of interest and relevance to them.
  • The parameters of the interaction need to be established ahead of time by the teacher as well as the expected level of participation and interaction of the students. As engaged as your students might be in the activity, there is no escaping that this is a course assignment or requirement which may hinder open communication and could dampen some enthusiasm
  • In a K–12 setting, it is a good idea to get your principal’s permission before using social media with your classes in any capacity. For minors, it also makes sense to get permission from your students’ parents. They want to know what you are doing in class and, for the most part, will be as excited as the students.

  • Getting up to speed with the variety of technologies that make sense for you and your classes may take some time and patience. If you are not as technologically adept as you would like to be, remember your students’ experiences learning language in your class. It is only through practice, and trial and error, that you gain technological proficiency.

    From the website: "OER (Open Educational Resources) Commons a public digital library of open educational resources. Explore, create, and collaborate with educators around the world to improve curriculum." OER contains access to many different educational resources that can be found on the web. You have the ability to search by subject, grade level, and standard(s). In addition, teachers can add resources to the "commons" through a resource builder, a lesson builder, or a module builder. While not all of the content on the site is spectacular, it definitely has potential!

  • To begin with, I don’t lecture. My students don’t take notes, at least not in the traditional sense, and we don’t read a novel and simply answer the questions.
  • It also means my students don’t acquire knowledge just for the sake of acquiring it. They need to do something with it — that’s where “project-based” comes into play.
  • Finally, technology is embedded into the structure of all we do. It’s part of how we research, how we capture information, and how we display our learning. It’s never an accessory tacked on at the end.

  • One of the most important things we can do is teach our students how to use social media wisely, and how social media can be used for social good.
  • Instead, inquiry and technology are a natural part of our English classes. It’s what my students have come to expect and have started to design themselves.  Instead, of saying, “hand in your assignments,” I say, “publish your assignments and send me the link.” They think about connecting and sharing their learning in the larger world.

    I found this post very interesting. It is easy to see how PBL may work in a science or math classroom, but I have always wondered how it would look for English. It seems like this teacher has truly grasped PBL, and her students are enjoying the learning process. I think this resource could be utilized by any teacher who instructs about English content, but depending on the age of the learners, the students may not reach full autonomy as those in this article did. I particularly enjoyed one quote from the teacher, "Finally technology is embedded into the structure of all we do... It's never an accessory tacked on at the end." As we have learned about in other EdTech courses, technology needs to truly transform the learning experience. I believe the teacher is doing that in this classroom.

    This Blog is one that I have bookmarked and will coming back to. This teacher's description of her class is how I want to work to make my class to look like. She had her premise but she had been able to create a class based on inquiry, openness and trust. This empowers students to create a social media campaign, create their own curriculum, and at the same time become more advanced in the content. Ms. Barseghian, I'm gushing, but your class sounds inspirational and worth the gushing.

    Nicole I really enjoyed watching the video on inquiry based learning. I liked the principals quote that "inquiry based learning is really just a fancy phrase for curiousity." I also liked the young man's quote about "inquiry based learning actually makes you think." Memorization is not allowing kids to explore or think for themselves. The teachers did a nice job of explaining how the students curiousity can help guide what they are learning, while still getting the common core standards mastered. I agree that the concept of inquiry based learning can be used effectively in the classroom. I think that it can be used effectively in my library because we provide resources to help students answer questions they wants to know about. I think that inquiry based learning is something both students and teachers can benifit from. Teachers will find it much easier to teacher if their students are engaged. Allowing students to choose what they are learning about will allow them to be more engaged. While I do not know of anything else that is similar to inquiry based learning, I think that it can be very helpful for students at all levels and I believe more teachers should take advantage of it.

    Nicole, I really enjoyed watching this video as well. When I first started watching the video, there was an opening sentence that just drew my attention right away into the video. The teacher said, "I realized how much more they learn, then when I see that they take action and their applying the skills they learn in here, I feel like I have done my job as a teacher." When I start to begin my teacher's journey, I hope to feel that overwhelming joy of teaching my students, not just viable information, but also how it can be applied to the real world settings. I also was excited to hear that all the coordinator said that group based learning is all about curiosity. Which I believe is what we as future or current teachers try to accomplish everyday that we are in the classroom. I agree that the resource can be used efficiently in my own future classroom because I hope to one day teach my students how they want to be taught material, as well as how to share that material with others around them. I believe that the resource is a use for both teachers and students. The reason why is because teachers can learn from their students developing ways, as well as how the student can teach their teacher how they can best develop and comprehend the material. I am currently not aware of any other similar resources that could be considered at this time, but I am confident that as our class continues on, there will be more resources.
  • Erin Keiser on 11 Oct 15
     
    "Inquiry is a fancy term for curiosity". I could not agree more. This is such a motivational video to help us as educators encourage our students to dive further in exploring ideas. Curiosity leads to the ability to create strong, driving questions. I look forward to allowing my students to take charge of their learning by encouraging them to bring up real life questions that will allow them to dive into their inquiry and research. As teachers, we must learn to take a step back and allow the students to facilitate their own learning with strong question asking!

    This is a nice resource for teachers to come and look at. I think that we often forgot how beneficial it is to read a whole class novel, and still allowing students to read the way they know how to read. I really think I can take a closer look at this article for future classroom purposes.
  • bretthutch on 13 Nov 17
     
    This is an interesting article that I think is so important. I don't read novels with my classes as a CTE teacher, but we do read a lot of articles and sometimes I give students a time limit for reading them. Every time, some students zoom through and others don't even finish. I have found a couple great websites in the past that have adjusted reading levels of specific articles and that has been incredibly helpful for me. I do think that whole class reflection is important when reading the same text, as it gives different points of view and opens student's eyes to things they may not have realized.
  • bethanyluens on 13 Nov 17
     
    I definitely enjoyed this article. I liked reading novels as a whole group, but it was difficult if only half the class did the reading and the other half just messed around. A good resource for teachers to take a look at and consider. I agree that the reflection from all students is necessary, but that could be done without having to read the novel as a whole. If students don't read the book, it's on their own shoulders...
  • trina79 on 14 Nov 17
     
    This was very interesting to read. I agreed with many of the point made by the author and I think that this article can help me as I continue to work to engage students in reading. I read aloud a novel to my 6th classes for the to just enjoy listening to. We are also currently doing a whole class novel study of Holes. I agree with the author of the article that there is room for both whole class reading of a novel and choice time. I have my student independently read a book of their choice, and we have a set aside time a few times a week where everyone in the class reads. Currently my 7th grade Literature students are reading a novel of their choice and I am just requiring that they write reading response letters to me and it has been going very well. They are engaged in reading and able to read at their own pace. I gave them a deadline for when they need to have their books finished, but it is on them to decided how much to read each week. Choice and voice are very important. This is a great resource that I can share with teachers in my collaborative teacher team.
