Hot Web Apps for HOTS « techchef4u - 0 views

  •  
    Hot Web Apps for HOTS 23 Jan Apps and web apps are only as purposeful as the products and projects that they are used to create. After spending copious amounts of time publishing "Hot Apps 4 HOTS" to iBooks, I felt I should allocate some time to focus on web apps and how they too can be used to support higher order thinking skills.

Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling - 0 views

  •  
    Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music.

Into the Book: About this Project - 0 views

  •  
    "About this Project Into the Book is a multimedia package designed to improve students' reading comprehension, as well as their ability to think and learn across the curriculum. Based on current research, the project focuses on eight learning strategies: * Using prior knowledge * Making connections * Questioning * Visualizing * Inferring * Summarizing * Evaluating * Synthesizing"
  •  
    "Teaching children which thinking strategies are used by proficient readers and helping them use those strategies independently creates the core of teaching reading. If proficient readers routinely use certain thinking strategies, those are the strategies children must be taught. For the kindergarten-through-twelfth-grade reading curriculum to focus primarily on those strategies, we need a new instructional paradigm: Our daily work with children must look dramatically different from the approaches in wide use in our schools today."

Research Summary 3: Teacher PD in ICT « hELPC! - 0 views

  •  
    From the articles I've been reading on teacher PD for ICT, there appears to be a clear message. * To achieve positive learning outcomes, PD is crucial. * PD must be continuous and address particular needs of individual teachers. * The traditional model for PD (one-off, one day courses) is bunk as it doesn't provide on-going support. * The focus on skills is a distraction from the main-game, pedagogy.

Non-Fiction Resource Books for the Primary Years Programme of Inquiry - 0 views

  •  
    This is a list of books which I hope will be a useful resource for teachers and librarians for the Primary Years Programme of Inquiry of the International Baccalaureate. I have tried to choose books which do not have a narrow focus but which are trans-disciplinary in concept. Please contact me if you would like recommendations for books on specific subject areas, and at a particular age level. The list will gradually be added to and improved as I have time to add to it and as I get more feedback from teachers and librarians. I have divided the list into the six organizing themes (though I realise that there can be considerable overlap between various themes) and have made up separate lists for fiction and non-fiction titles. I have given an indication of reading levels to each of the titles. Titles newly included in this updated list are marked *
