    Blogging is one of the tools I believe we need to look at for the pilot and this post had a lot of great information for thinking about this process.  I thought it was a good representation of how teachers reacted to blogging and the challenges they have to overcome.

    More reasons students can/should blog!  Note how other 'things' can be embedded into blogs.  In this instance, you will see popplet, but you could embed other concept map tools like padlet, or voice/video sources as well to make it more multi-media.

    Why Blog? Some practical ideas on how to get started. "If students are to write about a subject on a public platform like a blog, they need to be completely familiar with the subject and comfortable expressing an opinion about it. This encourages a deeper understanding and greater engagement with the subject."

      We can't forget that it is also critical for teachers to model the thinking within the tool - it helps for students to gain a better understanding of expectations. This practices also can reduce fear as well as provide empathy from the teacher as they are required to adhere to their own expectations.
  • The challenge, therefore, is for teachers to recognize the differences in these tools and not assume that one blog is the same as the next.

Why Should We Connect Students? - 0 views

shared by Sara Wickham on 12 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • teachers seem to be happy when students publish their work for purposes of grading, but don’t do anything with it afterwards. I think we’re seeing symptoms of what I call “The Keillor Effect” coined by Garrison Keillor in this quote:  “I think that book publishing is about to slide into the sea. We live in a literate time, and our children are writing up a storm, often combining letters and numbers…. The future of publishing: 18 million authors in America, each with an average of 14 readers, eight of whom are blood relatives. Average annual earnings: $175.”

      I love the idea of challenging ourselves to think about how we can think about publishing and its ramification beyond just points in the grade book.
  • As a warm up in the beginning of class, I took standards and turned them into the following questions: Could you use the work that this group to solve a similar problem? Give an example. What problem strategies did this group use when solving this problem. Can you suggest another? Did the makers of this video “leave out a step” or go into “too much” detail? Explain. Can you suggest a different approach to solving this problem? Did this help you learn? Why or why not was this effective or ineffective?

      I love the idea of giving students prompts based on the standards for adding comments to blogs.  This could be done on a class blog or other public blogs that students are engaging with as part of the content.

      I find this article interesting considering this is what we are seeing with the online students in Clay-Platte.  Online classes have to find a way to connect with students via technology to give the 'face-to-face' feeling.  Many of our students indicated that they haven't seen their teacher and don't know who they are.

      I do think we need to consider the classes that see all ie: freshman, sophomore...and find ways to scaffold helping students learn how to 'survive' in the digital world to keep up their organization, etc.

note-taking 21st Century Skills

shared by Tracey Kracht on 07 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • Instead, students should be learning note-taking as a way of organizing data and curating information they need for a defined purpose.  Students should sift and cull, summarize and synthesize. Students should learn how to take notes in ways that correlate with real-life situations. Finally, students should master the skill of making meaning from their notes and finding the best ways to share that meaning with others.
    • Sara Wickham
      Sara Wickham on 07 Mar 13
       
      This is so true.  Reminds of the idea that students should be able to make notes, not just take notes. 
    • Tracey Kracht
      Tracey Kracht on 09 Sep 13
       
      Absolutely agree - this is so important! Simple strategies would be really great for taking time to have students think and add to their notes.
  • When does our note-taking have a real purpose? When we are collecting field notes, listening to a webinar or YouTube training video, scanning a book for nuggets of wisdom. When we attend workshops or conferences, or even when we meet someone for a networking lunch.
    • Sara Wickham
      Sara Wickham on 07 Mar 13
       
      These are great examples of why we take notes in the professional world.  These would be great examples to share with students.
  • What are the actual skills students need in order to organize the vast amounts of information they must cull through to make meaning and solve problems? Is note-taking from the Internet, from Twitter, or from texts really a different kind of animal? Won’t students buy into the note-taking process if they understand that it matters for something more than spitting back a professor’s lecture notes that haven’t changed in the last twenty years?
    • Sara Wickham
      Sara Wickham on 07 Mar 13
       
      These are great questions!
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • I have a theory that teachers do this because students refuse to read the boring textbook (another issue), so the teacher digests it for them and then conducts a forced walk through the material. Many teachers, unfortunately, think this is what they are supposed to do; sadly, they think it’s what teaching really is.
    • Sara Wickham
      Sara Wickham on 07 Mar 13
       
      How often do we do the thinking for our students?
  • But at the very least, such notes should include hyperlinks, should be posted in a shared digital space, and should be open to amendment and annotation by the students themselves.
  • Likewise, we need to think of note-taking as something more than the traditional Cornell style. Note-taking should include brainstormed lists, diagrams and drawings, photographs, and other artifacts of learning. We should rethink note-taking not as outlined material for the test, but as blogs, wikis, backchannels, discussion forums, and status updates. The form of the notes should suit their purpose; the tool for taking the notes should do so as well.

      Great ideas here on how note-taking can become more meaningful in a digital world.
