    "Active Learning - Active Learning is anything that students do in a classroom other than merely passively listening to an instructor's lecture. Research shows that active learning improves students' understanding and retention of information and can be very effective in developing higher order cognitive skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. Clicker Use in Class - Clickers enable instructors to rapidly collect and summarize student responses to multiple-choice questions they ask of students in class. Collaborative/Cooperative Learning - Cooperative and collaborative learning are instructional approaches in which students work together in small groups to accomplish a common learning goal.They need to be carefully planned and executed, but they don't require permanently formed groups. Critical Thinking - Critical thinking is a collection of mental activities that include the ability to intuit, clarify, reflect, connect, infer, and judge. It brings these activities together and enables the student to question what knowledge exists. "

Practical Guidelines for Using Technology Tools in Classroom Teaching | CRLT - 0 views

  • While technologies make it easier for instructors to create learning opportunities, provide prompt feedback, and improve student engagement with content materials, they also pose challenges.
  • Limit seven words per line and eight lines per overhead/slide.
  • Have a clear goal for using a video clip or clips
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Avoid putting students in a passive mode of receiving information by combining the overhead/slide presentation with chalkboard/whiteboard use or other learning activities.
  • Limit the length of video clips.
  • Have a back-up plan for lectures (e.g., print or save the web pages on your local hard drive).
  • Create a comfortable atmosphere for the online conferencing/discussion, for example: Be an active participant. Challenge the students without threatening them. Use personal anecdotes when appropriate. Bring your own experiences to the discussion. Do not dominate a discussion or let a few students dominate it.
  • Energize the online discussion if needed (e.g., using role-plays, simulations, pros and cons).
  • Provide detailed instructions for students, including student roles and responsibilities
  • Emphasize the need for filtering and interpreting information on the Web when encouraging students to use online resources.
  • Use clickers in conjunction with teaching strategies such as “Peer Instruction” or “Think-Pair-Share” to improve students’ conceptual understanding of the content, as well as their critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

Best Practices for Using Technology in the Classroom | CIDDE - 0 views

  • Alignment: Technology should be used for a purpose—not for the sake of being flashy and not as a distraction
  • As with lectures, discussions, and labs, provide your students with guidance when dealing with media technologies
  • Also, consider your own access to technology: make sure that you are familiar with all of the technology that you use and that media technology in your classroom is functioning correctly before the class.

  • Be sure that the technology that you intend to use is accessible to your students. While computers are virtually ubiquitous, and students living on campus have ready access to computing labs and other technology on campus, do consider whether or not your students have access to technology that you want them to use
  • tructure their interaction with the media and to assess their learning at the end of it.
  • Technology should be used as reinforcement of and supplement to your teaching, but it should not be a simple reiteration of exactly what you have done in another format.

Tips for Using Common Technology Tools in Teaching | CRLT - 1 views

  • Use fonts 24 points or larger for the text. Use dark type and light background for the overhead/slide. Avoid USING ALL CAPS. (The normal use of upper and lowercase characters is easier to read.) Use Italics or color rather than underline to emphasize a point. (Underline makes some characters difficult to read.) Limit seven words per line and eight lines per overhead/slide. Use the overhead/slide as a guide for presentation. Face the audience when showing the overhead/slide. Distribute a copy of the overheads/slides to students ahead of time if possible. Keep the room lights on and avoid showing slides in a dark room for more than 15 minutes (Dark rooms can make students drowsy.) Avoid putting students in a passive mode of receiving information by combining the overhead/slide presentation with chalkboard/whiteboard use or other learning activities. Have a backup plan in case of a power outage or equipment failure.

  • Allow plenty of lead-time for planning the course and designing course web pages. Be sure that the course web pages are functional. Have a back-up plan for lectures (e.g., print or save the web pages on your local hard drive). Be well-prepared for your presentation, for example: check the classroom set up (e.g., browser, software, computer memory, monitor, and audio). verify links, especially the external links. check the room lighting to see if it is suitable for both viewing the projected screen and taking notes. arrange for a technical support staff to be in your classroom at the start of class to help with the setup if necessary. always know whom to call for help if technical problems occur. Emphasize the need for filtering and interpreting information on the Web when encouraging students to use online resources. Remind students that only a smaller fraction of the whole archive of knowledge is available on the Web.

  • Preparation
  • ke online discussion/conferencing an integral part of the course. (Do not separate what is happening in the conference from what is happening in the face-to-face class meetings.)

  • Set clear expectations and standards for assessing student web pages/projects.
  • bring your own experiences to the discussion.

The Most Powerful Tool in the Classroom | Sarah Wike Loyola - 0 views

  • We were taught very differently because we only had access to the "Encyclopedia Britannica", text books, and card catalogs. The students of today have access to a colossal amount of information. We must take this into consideration if we are going to prepare them for the modern workplace and a future so technologically advanced that it is inconceivable at this momen
  • students need to be more in control of their own learning. In order for this to occur, educators must move aside and give up some power. This is the only way we can begin to make true educational progress, and the Internet must be our guiding force
  • As we progress in this technologically charged world, we face a very important question. What is to become of the role of teachers? Will they become obsolete?
  • The hard truth is that the tech-savvy students of today do not want to be lectured to about facts they can instantly find with the click of a button on their smart phones. Siri can often give a more comprehensive answer than many of us on any given topic. Therefore, the honest truth is that HOW we teach must change. Making students memorize rote facts and regurgitate them is no longer sensible, and educators now have the opportunity to have students think much more critically, solve problems, and use their creativity in ways they never have been pushed to do in the past.

Flipping the Class for Active Learning - Teaching Excellence & Educational Innovation -... - 0 views

  • n a "Flipped Classroom," students' initial exposure to content is shifted outside of the classroom via readings, instructional videos, individual or collaborative activities, or a combination of these. Then during class, rather than lecturing, all or a significant portion of the time is used for practice, application exercises, discussion-based activities, team-based learning, or other active learning techniques. Some preliminary assessment, such as an online quiz or brief assignment, may be used to gauge student understanding and tailor instructional plans prior to class.
