Tiny Bursts of Learning | Betchablog - 2 views

    Skimming and taking in learning 140 characters at a time...a great way to learn when you are ready!

    I like the idea of stopping the "Sit and Get" model. I agree that 10 minutes meandering through Twitter can give me some amazing insights into what is happening in education and classrooms all over the place. My problem is that I can't stop after 10 minutes..does that make me a creepy lurker?

Why Diigo Rocks for Educators! - 0 views

    • Matthew Krohne
       
      I've always heard of teachers using Diigo for bookmarking, but had never considered it's possibility for student use.
  •  
    Ed tech expert and Web20Classroom blogger Steven Anderson tells teachers how they can use diigo and other social bookmarking tools as a teaching resource.
  •  
    Straightforward, simple explanation of Diigo benefits for students. According to one of the comments, students can highlight specific information from a site as opposed to just bookmarking an entire page. I like that idea for students who are overwhelmed by info or forget what parts they found useful.

The Teacher's Guide To Using Badges In Your Classroom - Edudemic - 5 views

    • Wendy Danner
       
      wondering if you could use badges for specific objectives?  Like a tracking chart on the wall from elementary?  Thinking out loud...
  •  
    Way to incoproate badges into the classrom. What another great tool to decreased the kid's focus on the grade they got and focus on the objective.

    This was a great article! Really got my mind thinking what else I could do to get the kids to focus more on understanding and acheiving a goal rather than being 'ok" with a B....
  •  
    This is a great idea to keep students focused on learning objectives and specific goal prioritization in this new era of student independence.
  •  
    OK--I know I am a little late to this rodeo...but I LOVE BADGES! I think it is the overachieving Girl Scout that is coming out in me (I had to have 2 sashes because I earned so many GS badges when I was a little girl!). Just set up badges for math and science for the first quarter to coordinate with the main learning objectives. Hopefully this will be a new encourager for the kids.

      Kind of self serving, but it does provide some basis for the arts and its connection to the common core.  Discussed earlier today in the Pathways PD with another teacher the idea that music lives in Quadrant D quite a bit

Educational Leadership:Teaching for Meaning:Why Assessment Illiteracy Is Professional S... - 0 views

  • Most of today's public school educators were never required, as part of their preservice or inservice training, to dig meaningfully into the viscera of educational testing
    • Cory Munson
       
      I was never required to take any assessment courses at UCM.  I don't think they were even offered.
  • A second reason for educators' unfamiliarity with testing is that many of them regard assessment as a complex, quantitative arena well beyond the comprehension of mere mortals
    • Cory Munson
       
      I have never heard this... ????
  • The most practical solution is to locate one or two assessment books written specifically for in-the-trenches educators.
    • Cory Munson
       
      What books are those?
  •  
    I was just practicing with an article I had to read for my edspecialist. :)

Blogging About The Web 2.0 Connected Classroom: The Power Of The Lurker - 0 views

  • The idea that we don't have to be the smartest or be an expert in everything should be a big relief in the classroom.
    • anonymous
       
      Yes, so true, wish more people understood this!
  • make a connection. There has to be some hook to draw is in
  • I start with hashtags. I show the power of the hashtag
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • have to first see the why
    • Wendy Danner
       
      This is so great!  I think so often teachers think we always have to start at the beginning but how do we really know where every person's "beginning" is?  Just another reminder that everyone (including adults) learn at a different pace.
  • So, maybe instead of encouraging (pushing) others to contribute blogs and tweets and ideas, maybe we begin by having a conversation about the value of lurking. Show there is value in what we have here and in other social networks by encouraging others to get connected and take from the network. That just might lead to the growth of our networks.

      Great 5 minute video on how to make and use diigo for your classroom
    • susanlynn26
       
      This sounds really cool!  Students often need to share websites with eachother, and if they could annotate the shared sites so others could see it, that would be amazing.
    • susanlynn26
       
      There are a lot of things we need to sign up whole classes of students for.  What is the best tech solution for this.  Ex:  Google sites.
