Implementation in an Elementary Classroom (Articles) - 0 views

  • Reduced recess, cuts to physical education courses and limited free time in the classroom coupled with an increasing emphasis on testing are propelling this decline all over the country.
    • Jill Carlson
       
      We are seeing this at our school as well. In the afternoon our first graders do not have a recess. I have started having brain breaks in the afternoon and usually do "Go Noodle" to get the kids moving.
  • y engaging multiple areas of the brain simultaneously, play links to “foundational capacities such as memory, self-regulation, oral language abilities, social skills, and success in school,”
    • Jill Carlson
       
      This is interesting to me! I never thought of the brain research involved in playtime.
  • Such activities require children to add numbers, hold each other accountable, self-regulate and solve any problems or disputes that arise.
    • Jill Carlson
       
      This is such an important lifelong skill. this type of practice is so important for children!

    • Jill Carlson
       
      My students use Lexia Core5 and Dreambox, and I do agree that these programs do a great job providing supplemental instruction!!
  • The point is that these technologies can open up a world of new possibilities.
    • Jill Carlson
       
      Yes, they do!! They also allow kids to work at the pace and level they need to be working on!
  • Adaptive technologies can have real value and are not going away.

  • Don’t be content to merely argue that you can’t be replaced by a machine.
    • Jill Carlson
       
      I don't see why you would be worried about being "replaced" by a machine. The machine can help you be a better teacher!!

PLE Articles - 3 views

  • sharing with others.
    • Jill Carlson
       
      This reminds me of the first grade blogs, I used to have my students do years ago. They loved the feedback from their parents and grandparents.
  • The social media platform that supports PLEs creates a perfect space for peer collaboration and sharing information.
    • Jill Carlson
       
      What would be the best social media platform to use for lower elementary students?
  • Symbaloo
    • Jill Carlson
       
      I love Symbaloo and the fact that it is user friendly enough for first graders to use!

"Personalized" vs. "Personal" Learning - 3 views

  • only choice
    • Jill Carlson
       
      When students are given choice, learning is more meaningful to them.
  • eave little room for the kind of authentic, whole-child personalization many teachers dream of offering
  • many school district leaders require public school educators to teach a specific curriculum
    • Jill Carlson
       
      Teachers want to provide personalized learning but are not always allowed the freedom they need. Teachers feel the pressure of 25+ students in one classroom meeting the standards they need to meet.

  • She cautions educators who may be excited about the progressive educational implications for “personalized learning” to make sure everyone they work with is on the same page about what that phrase means.
    • Jill Carlson
       
      Each school district will need to have a conversation about what personalized learning is to be on the same page.
