moodle help

This is the first Sketchcast Saturday. Today I explain how I'm going to use sketchcasting as a tool on my blog. This is not an introduction on sketchcasting in general, you can find that on Rich Ziade's site.

Today I had my 3rd class of Pre-Kindergarteners. I decided today I would approach the whole lesson as a series of questions. Rather than explain to the students what they would be doing (my first approach) or model what they would be doing (my second approach), I tried to encourage them to explore the tools and when I noticed students who were not using different colours I asked them: "Do you know how to change the colour of the lines?" If the answer was yes, I let them get on with it assuming they would change colour if they wanted to. If the answer was no I asked, "Do you want to know how to change the colour of the lines?", if the answer was no I let them continue in their own way, if the answer was yes I showed them how to do it. In the same way if I noticed students who were drawing lots of similar shapes I simply asked, "Do you know any other shapes?"

Hard to explain, sort of like a diigo on a photo, comments, questions can be posted or tagged to certain parts of the image Could be great for a H/W front loading session, have the kids view and ask questions /make comments before sharing in class. Could be anonymous or not.

To explain it would be too weird. Try for a few minutes

Jeff again, i like the way he explains the reasoning behind his work. This could be good for our MYP kids Or younger!

Apps that fit into this "understanding" stage provide opportunities for students to explain ideas or concepts. Verbs commonly used to describe this phase include interpreting; restating, retelling, summarizing, inferring, generalizing, comparing, rephrasing, translating, reporting, clarifying, and paraphrasing. Understanding apps step away from the selection of a "right" answer and introduce a more open-ended format for students to summarize content and translate meaning. SWEET

How to explain it? type a word/words and watch the art occur.

TodaysMeet helps you embrace the backchannel and connect with your audience in realtime. Encourage the room to use the live stream to make comments, ask questions, and use that feedback to tailor your presentation, sharpen your points, and address audience needs. Find out what your students are really thinking as the lesson occurs, slow down, speed up, explain clearer?

Awesome, 104 and on the interweb!
