  • answer is correct or to present information in an unusual context
  • These practices were associated with a 31 percentile point gain in student achievement.
  • Using the voting devices but doing little with the findings.
  • Not organizing or pacing the content well
  • Using too many visuals
  • Paying too much attention to reinforcing features
  • Teachers should think through how they intend to organize information. They should group information into small, meaningful segments before they start developing the digital flipcharts
  • but those visuals should clearly focus on the important information
  • After asking a question and getting student responses using voting devices, the teacher should typically discuss the correct answer along with the incorrect answers
  • teachers should make sure that students focus on why an answer is correct or incorrect
  • simply assuming that using this or any other technological tool can automatically enhance student achievement would be a mistake.

Rethinking School Communication with a Classroom Blog | Gradebook - 3 views

  • In the past decade, there has been a monumental shift in the level of communication that parents expect from teachers and school administrators
  • A classroom blog can be a great compromise between teachers and millennial parents
  • Think of a classroom blog as a weekly newsletter for your students and their parents. It satisfies parents’ desire to know what’s going on at school, keeps the lines of communication open with parents, and becomes an archive of the school year.

    Rethinking what a blog post/communication post could look like. The possibilities are simply endless. I would recommend turning over the responsibility to your students in your classroom and rethinking the idea that it is all up to you.

    website that allows students to make online books. Students can add their own text and choose from a plethora of backgrounds. Seems geared towards younger kids but maybe it could be manipulated for high school students.

Educational Leadership:Literacy 2.0:The Joy of Blogging - 1 views

  • Students came to understand that grammar, punctuation, word choice, style, and syntax were not just a "teacher thing" but rather the means for effective communication. Students were motivated to write well on their blogs so that their posts could attract comments; learning about grammar and language usage had a "purpose and a point" (Peterson, 1998, p. 75).
  • n this post, Anni argued persuasively for water fountains on school playgrounds.1  She gave detailed reasons supporting her case, and her post sparked many responses. Donna, a teacher in Australia, explained that water fountains are called "bubblers" in Australia and that each school has rows of bubblers outside for student use. She also provided another reason to support Anni's reasoning: "Adequate water consumption is required for optimal brain function!"

Teaching like it's 2999: Reflecting on my iPad Grant Thus Far... A Story of Celebrating... - 1 views

  • Instead of being an afterthought tacked on to my curriculum, my iPads had become the epicenter. They were out all day, every day and were being pushed to their limit so that my students could be pushed to theirs. As a result I saw ten times the growth in standardized test scores this year as compared to last year. I saw students who hated coming to school show up daily with vigor and excitement for learning. I had one young lady tell me, "[iPads] make me want to come to school everyday because I know that Ms. Magiera got a lesson just for me that day. I don't want to miss my lesson. I like it cause she's - like - talking just to me."

TED: Ideas worth spreading - 0 views

  •  
    Great site for finding and sharing innovative ideas in different fields. The movies would probably be more conducive to middle or high school students because the speakers sometimes speak more quickly or use more technical language.
  •  
    Some ingenious current ideas from masters of all kinds of different fields. Give it a try, would be great for middle and high school levels. I found a sculptor who makes kinetic artwork run by wind and capable of "surviving" on the coast of Holland!
