    This blog post gives statistics that prove that students using mobile learning have increased test scores to about 20%. This blog post focuses on developing countries and it really opened my eyes to the countries outside of the United States. I always know how lucky we are with all the resources we have here, this blog post reminded the importance to all students around the world with how technology can really help them.

    ICT for learning may be a trendy and popular topic as a blog on this site last week discussed, but the fact remains that children from poorer households are less likely to have access to ICT both in and out-of-school. As a result, they take longer to adapt to using the technology or hone their...

    An ASCD article that describes in detail the topic "learning target", which is a main focus for Data Meeting 3. It delves into what a learning target is and how to develop criteria for success in the classroom. Overall, this resource speaks volumes and, as an added bonus, it lists in its reference section two books (only a few captures available) that I recommend browsing through as well.

    In my data meeting, I learned that I needed to focus on what this article is calling a "learning target" for my student. Great article.

    The NEA published this wonderful compilation of "research-based instructional strategies, school change activities, and family/school engagement efforts for closing the achievement gaps." Within its pages, the acronym C.A.R.E. - Culture, Abilities, Resilience, and Effort -- is referenced and connected to strategies for teachers to employ in order to make improvements in their classrooms. Teacher checklists, lesson plans, and student worksheets are included for each of these areas, which is great! The chapter on abilities is very interesting. It references the 8 different learning styles and challenges teachers to consider incorporating activities that touch on all. Overall, this booklet of sorts contains a lot of information that provokes much thought and reflection.

    With all the areas that children are taught in school, the author feels that while trying work at the achievement gap we should look at the engagement gap. The eagerness that children have a young age needs to be maintained. Hands-on learning should be implemented into the lesson.

    This article hits the nail on the head! At my school we are redesigning our language program to a more student-centered, hands-on instructional approach. I think it is very important to change up the old ways of teaching and find new ways that really engage students. This year, I took out all the desks in my room. Taking down that physical barrier has helped to improve student engagement. We sit or stand in a circle and students are much more motivated! Including games and activities that connect to students' interest is also important.
  • jillthomas on 10 Mar 16
     
    This is a great article focusing on engagement in the classroom! It discusses the necessity of hands on learning to maintain students interest. This is important for students of all academic levels. Hands on learning not only engages students because they are "doing", they also are developing critical thinking skills. As a special education teacher, I know that in order to assist my students in learning, I need to keep their attention and provide them with interesting, hands on learning.
  • ndouglas7 on 24 Oct 16
     
    I love this article! I have always been a strong believer in hands on learning and I love that they call it an engagement gap! Students get bored when a teacher gets up and lectures them all day. They need to be engaged! The activities need to be purposeful and have a specific meaning but a teacher can make just about any topic engaging just by getting the kids moving and interacting. I 100% agree that students retain information longer when they are engaged and enjoying what they are learning.

    This blog post explains the biggest learning gaps come from students of different ethic/racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. This is a great blog post that lists different ways that technology can help reduce the learning gap in schools for those particular students. One way that I am familiar with was to individualize student learning to help students stay motivated. Technology can individualize student learning in so many ways.
  • ndouglas7 on 24 Oct 16
     
    I enjoyed reading this blog because it points out the different factors outside of school that affects achievement gaps. Technology is not always an option for these students at home but for the most part a student can get access to the Internet somewhere and if there are resources online for that student, this will help in closing the gap. Blended learning is becoming more popular and has a noticeable impact on students exposed to it.

    A comprehensive mission of public schools is to produce students who are intellectually competent and prepared for postsecondary education and the increasingly competitive workforce. However, differences in educational outcomes of students indicate that the impact of our current public school system is limited.

    Abstract: This reflective essay describes a teacher's development of a student-centered approach to teaching which bridges the gap between students' knowledge before and after a course. In "mind the gap teaching," students' prior knowledge leads the conversation and, in turn, the teaching, allowing them to integrate new information more effectively.
