  • Your first class should always be Face-to-Face (
  • Assessments should be real-time and the choice of F2F or online should be made available.
  • Online Learning is not differentiated unless teachers specifically utilize the various ways to provide the material
  • Online learning is here and we teachers as experts in education must embrace it.

    This article was very helpful in how to execute online and blended learning. It had great points that would be good to reference in the future.

    Some very good points for the teacher to consider when implementing and blended learning environment. I am still researching the idea of blended learning in my higher education classes, but have saved this with some of the other articles I have. I shared an article called "7 Things You Should Know About the Flipped Classroom" It too has some good ideas.

    This website has great points on blended learning. Blended learning, when done effectively, is very beneficial for the teacher and student. Teachers are able to differentiate their teaching and students are able to pause/review videos and receive extra help during the class period. Another similar resource I found was also on Edutopia. This website provides a video of how to make blended learning work in your classroom and also provides resource links. http://www.edutopia.org/practice/blended-learning-making-it-work-your-classroom

    Pinterest is an amazing tool to use in education. I receive many classroom ideas from other teachers through Pinterest and it is a great place to store and organize the resources for later use. After reading this article, I think I will create a group board and share it will my students with relevant class articles, ideas, and videos. Pinterest is my favorite resource to use as a teacher!
  • Kim Carlson on 08 Oct 15
     
    I think this article will be useful for my classroom. I use Pinterest now and we are working on maybe having a district pinterest page or links for people to follow and gather information from. I think of this article as more of a teacher article. I'm not sure how many students use Pinterest but in the education field this is huge.
  • Katie Upah on 08 Oct 15
     
    I agree that I could use this article for my future classroom because I am already familiar with Pinterest, and the article provides tips for using Pinterest with other teachers as well as students. This article as a whole seems to be geared toward teachers because it is specifically about applying Pinterest to the classroom, but on the topic of Pinterest as a whole, students can also use Pinterest to share ideas with one another and possibly look at some of the boards of their own teacher. For instance, the article states that teachers could create a Pinterest board to share with students so that students could simply use resources from the board to begin writing instead of wasting time researching. The only other site that I have encountered that could be used for similar purposes is Diigo because teachers could also bookmark articles on this site to share with students in the same way that they could with Pinterest.

They needed to consider tone, language and personality of their assigned character in order to respond appropriately.

  • 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.

  • Students can program apps. They can pitch their ideas. They can handle defending their dreams. Students can code. Students can create. Those who think students can’t do these things either haven’t tried or have a limited view of themselves as educators.
  • App programming with Crescerance has been awesome since I first learned about it from fifth grader Kennedy and from Susan Bearden at ISTE 2014.
  • Want to know more about our Shark Tank event this past spring? Here’s our wiki page on the event.

    Evidence of students programming their own apps. While I can't teach them how, I can encourage them. Hoping to use this in AP to develop a program for building a city.

    Ping, I think this will come in very hand in the near future. I only recall doing one literature review in my academic career and it's a faded memory. This appears to be a concise base of instructions on how, why and what a literature review is. I have a database of all the work I performed in my previous grad program and surprisingly there is not one source on this topic, other than the review I did for a section of a capstone proposal.
  • Lisa Bindert on 08 Oct 15
     
    A very helpful resource that I have saved for future reference.
  • Nicole Heinrichs on 08 Oct 15
     
    I think this is a great resource for both the teacher and the student. Literature reviews are a great way for students to show their understanding of a reading. I have heard of similar tasks for literature reviews, but this is a great for students to share.
