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

shared by Sarah Ebener on 09 Oct 15 - No Cached
  • 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.

    good ideas for high-interest, engaging lesson activities
  • 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!

    This is a very cool website. This website has a great deal of information on it and Catlin is very inspirational. I think this resource would be good for teachers to glim inspiration form and for Catlin's students to access information about her courses. For a teacher to have a website is a very new thing and I am sure that many teachers do but have never explored one before; good find!

    A meeting place for a world of reflective writers. This blog is outstanding! I have been trying to come up with new ways to become a better writing teacher. These writing teachers provide free resources for a writing binder they created with their students, and I plan to implement this into my own class!

    Since I am a TESOL major, I am very interested in motivation for writing and ways to make writing fun! I definitely think I would use this in the future for advanced students for ESL. It would help me think of new prompts, new ways to make writing fun, and motivation for students. The website is definitely for teacher use because it is a resource for lesson plans and activities. I said it before, there will always be blogs and websites that give resources and ideas like this. But there are a lot of bad blogs and websites and this one definitely has a lot of good ideas!
  • Megan Skiles on 12 Oct 15
     
    Great blog, I like how they have it organized and the amount of resources you can find on this blog. This blog had many great ideas for teachers to use while teaching students writing. This is a resource that would be helpful for teachers.

    My friends got me into minecraft, and it is an impressive game. I like how the article doesn't just focus on using it like an art tool like I've seen other articles, but how it can teach different skills. Of course, minecraft doesn't follow the same rules as the real world such as physics. So its real job is to just get kids interested from a young age and perhaps learn more about how they really work. Another way I've seen minecraft used educationally is to introduce kids to working cooperatively on a joint server. So they know how to behave online and solve problems diplomatically.

    This website seems great and definitely something that I would use in the classroom. I think making video lessons and using old lessons will really spice up learning and make everything clearly visible. It seems like this website can be used both by students and teachers evenly. teachers can make them and students can use them (Students can create for projects as well). SchoolTube is similar but could maybe used as a reflection to the lessons on here.
  • davidstanfield on 13 Oct 14
     
    Videos are such an important part of digital learning and this is another tool to bring them into education without simply just passing the link out to a class. The teacher can tie in specific questions, notes, and resources. This really expands the use of the video and lends it towards 24/7 learning and the ability for students to control their own pace of the lesson. Along with this tool, I recommend VidoeNot.es and Educanon.
  • bredvick on 13 Oct 14
     
    Nikki, I have this same page bookmarked on my Diigo, so I definitely find it very useful and inspiring. I think Ted talks are a great resource that we can use for our students! They have so many different Ted talks on very different issues, and being able to watch a video for a quick 15 minutes can catch the attention of the students. I also feel as though the Ted talks I have watched have been very inspirational and done very well! I would definitely be able to effectively use these resources in my future classroom. I believe this resources if for teachers to use and share good Ted Talks, but then those teachers are expected to share with their students. I would recommend following Ted Talks so you can see when they post new and similar videos.
  • jared sunds on 20 Oct 14
     
    This is brilliant! TED talks are so widely known and used in so many different walks of education! The ability to create and share lessons across such a well traveled network of people is phenomenal resource to help you find what you really need to get your things done. I am glad you bookmarked this!!

I think that the Social Media cheat sheet is very helpful for teachers that are trying to get more technology in their classroom and don't know where to begin. This resource could be used by students as well. It will give an opportunity to talk with students about effective ways to use technology in their learning.

  • Nearly two-thirds of all faculty have used social media during a class session, and 30% have posted content for students to view or read outside class. Over 40% of faculty have required students to read or view social media as part of a course assignment, and 20% have assigned students to comment on or post to social media sites. Online video is by far the most common type of social media used in class, posted outside class, or assigned to students to view, with 80% of faculty reporting some form of class use of online video.

    This is a good resource to use with administrators and school board members.

This resource could also be used with teachers to give them some ideas on how a technology integrationist could provide support to them in the classroom.

    This is a good article to look at. I feel that it would be good for a classroom because it is talking about how to transform a classroom into a 21st century classroom and what it should look like. This would definitely benefit both teacher and student. The teacher can use the technology to help teach while the students can use the technology to help learn and grow.

  • The 2014 Gates Foundation report, Teachers Know Best: What Educators Want from Digital Instructional Tools, indicates that Teachers want tools “supporting student collaboration and providing interactive experiences”. These types of tools are fun and engaging, and they support 21st century skills like collaboration, communication, and creativity. Learning this compelled me to write the article, “20 Fun Free Tools for Interactive Classroom Collaboration”, which has been in the top 10 most popular posts on the site since I published it in May. We followed that in July with “5 More Cool Tools to Take Classroom Collaboration to a New Level”, another popular post. So there you have over two dozen fun free interactive collaboration tools to consider using in your classes this year!

    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.
  • Cassidy Winslow on 14 Nov 17
     
    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!
  • trina79 on 14 Nov 17
     
    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.
