    "Social signals are one of the factors that human beings use to gauge authority, trustworthiness, and importance. A web page that shows a lot of social shares appears more important or authoritative than a web page with very few social shares."

    A key factor for New Literacies. Students need to understand how the social connections they make in a digitally connected world matters. #newlit

      I like how the author gives a summary of what folktales incorporate.

      The moral of many of the tales is that the biggest and strongest are often done in by the quicker and tricker.

      Hmmm, the page won't let me highligh the last half of the sentence - I wonder why?
  • The folktale is a story, passed down verbally from generation to generation

      Many of these Brain Targets require a minimum of change in the classroom

      Technology lends itself to timely feedback.
  • Usable classroom translation: make regular changes in your classroom such as seating arrangements, wall displays
  • Usable classroom translation: Give students the big picture; visually represent the connections between previous knowledge and new learning; indicate relationships among learning goals.

  • Usable classroom translation: stress impedes learning
  • Usable classroom translation: Creativity can be taught but it builds on a body of content knowledge being mastered. Interweave information and thinking in all content areas; show real world applications, move away from simple, single-answer problems to encourage divergent solutions.

      I think this is an important piece - being able to apply info. is true learning.

      Interesting targets to teach the way the brain learns...
  • When you’re standing in front of a classroom of students who’re not quite sure they even want to be in your class, much less pay attention to what’s being said
  • Brain Target 2: Creating the Physical Learning Environment
  • Brain Target 1: Establish the emotional climate for learning
  • Brain Target 3: Designing the Learning Experience
  • Neuroscience: The brain feels before it thinks. The amygdala (think fight/flight) receives stimuli 40 milliseconds
  • Neuroscience: The brain craves novelty. Posner & Rothbart, 2007); lighting, background noise impact on attention;
  • Neuroscience behind it: The brain looks for patterns between known and unknown information (Posner & Rothbart
  • Brain Target 4: Teaching for Mastery
  • Neuroscience behind it: In order for information to be retained it must make its way from short-term to long-term memory.
  • Brain Target 5: Teaching for the Extension Neuroscience behind it: The brain is plastic. Significant changes occur in the brain due to repeated sensory experience (Fu & Zuo,2011, Karmarkar & Dan, 2006)
  • Brain Target 6: Evaluating Learning Neuroscience behind it: Assessments provides feedback that informs and motivates students; retrieval of information recruits memory systems, reinforcing memory for that information.

      Making connections between new and old information is so integral to helping students learn.

  • She writes fluidly across genres and age groups, from picture books to chapter books, experimenting with themes of loss, parental absence and spiritual redemption.

      Wow! I can't believe that she had so many jobs that were really unrelated to writing.

      I like how she said that she is trying to bring people together.

  • By her own account, she came to writing books in a meandering way. Born in Philadelphia but raised in Florida, she spent her 20s working jobs at Disney World, Circus World and a campground, harboring secret ambitions to be an author.
  • “It wasn’t until my fifth or sixth book where I realized I’m trying to do the same thing in every story I tell, which is bring everybody together in the same room,” Ms. DiCamillo said. “That’s the same thing that I want here: to get as many different people into the room as I can. I don’t know that I will resonate with a particular group of kids, but I want to get as many kids and as many adults together reading as I can.”
