  • making sure that students are able to navigate new ways of reading and writing.
  • : the ability to read texts closely—to be text detectives. As students enter a world in which they will do much of their reading and writing on a screen, it makes sense to start by looking at nonprint texts, such as in the genres of video, music, and visual art.

      This will also help our kids to become more critical consumers of information. They'll know that it's important to focus on the entire message...not just the "words". They'll understand how advertisers and others can use sounds, images, lighting, etc. to influence the emotions of the consumer.
  • Although standardized assessments continue to be based on individual work, we know that our students will, with rare exceptions, be expected to work collaboratively on projects after they graduate. And those projects will frequently involve shaping and writing texts with others.

Teaching Strategy: Passing Notes To Exchange Ideas - 3 views

  •  
    Which technology tool might be used to facilitate (creating, sharing) the 'note pass' activity? 
  •  
    If you're not worried about the students not knowing who is going to get their note, Google Docs would work. Thinking about how we've done note pass in PLN, usually students just pass their note around the table. In Google Docs, the teacher could have each student start a document (if he/she wanted a quote or prompt at the top, the teacher could start the doc and share it with the kids and have them make their own copy). Students could write their own ideas and then share their document with the student next to them, who then adds the next part. This would require some management and instruction the first time, but so does the traditional note pass activity.
