Why Should We Connect Students? - 0 views

  • 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.

      This is a great way to keep students grounded in what they are supposed to be learning.  It's also a powerful reminder that students need to "own" the learning goals.
  • Have students set aside specific times to consider digital feedback.
  • It commits the learner to 25 minutes of work followed by 5 minutes to consider social media feedback and e-mail. This can balance production and conversation.

      This is really key!  In the job world, we all have to find effective ways to balance productivity with the constant stream of emails, tweets, etc.  Should we be teaching our students how to achieve this balance as well?
