Teaching with Technology in the Middle: Diigo for Digital Writing Reflection - 0 views

  •  
    "Assessment of how students meet these goals is done by the students themselves, as for each piece they publish they write a reflection where they identify and explain aspects of their piece that show the following: -evidence of themselves as thinkers -evidence of using revision to improve their writing -evidence of how they worked through challenges I love using this method as a way to assess my students' writing, which I was introduced to last summer at the UNC Charlotte Writing Project. It focuses students attention on their own process, encourages them to try new ideas and approaches, respects their diversity, and guides students in being better able to talk about their own thinking and learning. Up until today, I've been having my students complete this reflective/metacognitive assignment by responding to these directions on their own sheet of paper, which they then would turn in to me. But this morning while I was preparing my class for the day, it occurred to me that Diigo's web highlighter and sticky note tools would allow students to carry out that same assignment without paper. In addition, it would also take students less time to complete, let others read the reflections they wrote, and make it easier for me to access and assess their work. "

Wow, This Is Really Useful: A Bloom's Taxonomy For Student Reflection | Larry Ferlazzo'... - 0 views

  •  
    "I've previously posted about the Bloom's Taxonomy of Reflection that Peter Pappas developed. I just discovered that he developed this excellent Prezi about it. I'd also strongly encourage you to read his post that explains it further, as well as one by Langwitches giving an example of how to apply it in the classroom."

    Excellent Prezi using Blooms for teachers, students and Principals.

Cambodia - Qwiki - 0 views

  •  
    Hard to explain To be clear, Qwiki isn't a piece of hardware. Instead, it's a piece of software meant to run on the web and as an app on mobile devices. What it does is present to you data about millions of topics in an extremely interesting and visual way. Imagine if someone created a movie highlight reel of Wikipedia pages - that's sort of what Qwiki is like. You search for something - a topic, a person, etc - and Qwiki talks to you, telling you all you need to know about what you searched for, while also showing you key things about the subject or person. You can also click on sub-topics or related topics to access more Qwikis with vast amounts of other information. It's a fairly incredible way to consume information. And the data isn't just from Wikipedia. Say you do a search for a person, Qwiki can look at their social connections and tell you about their LinkedIn profile, for example. It is very, very impressive.
