  • This is a simple chart on which each student writes what she already knows ("K") about a given topic, what she wants to know ("W"), and then -- to be filled out at the end of the lesson -- what she actually learned ("L"). You can use these charts like cheat sheets to spot strengths or gaps in students' base knowledge.

      I do not have a Symbaloo yet, but I will soon. My wondering here goes to my current learning management system and whether or not this tool would be easily integrated. Sounds like it would, but I have yet to try.

      This particular section revealed some real fears I thought I didn't have about relinquishing control.
  • new dispositions to take advantage of it for learning.

      How do we teach these new dispositions. Now that it's easy to find "facts" about stuff and just pull up a video of someone else explaining..how do we help students understand that learning encompasses more than just the ability to find out stuff?

      #1 Are my classmates seeing this? #2 Given that it is Valentine's Day and I'm bust annotating, I'm going to press pretty hard against the idea that PL is seductive. Curiosity building, full of potential, even rabbit hole-like, but definitely not seductive.
