  • They started small, and they've grown and honed their strategies each year.

      I think that this is important. How many times do we have a "new" program that we jump into with both feet and try to make it perfect over night. Things like this take time and if we want kids to be successful we have to take our time and learn as we go as well.
  • Stay current. Keep the discussion alive with colleagues in your school and in social networks (such as Twitter, Edutopia, and others) to find fresh ideas and avoid stagnating.

      This is key and we need more time to learn from each other. Some of the best in-services or meetings are the ones where we come away with something new to try the next day.
  • Free or unguided play is the most natural way to forge these connections.

      I just had my students complete a project using "play" time on their chrome books. Sometimes with technology the best way to learn is by playing. Kids love when they can show the teacher something new that they have learned.

Adaptive Learning System Articles - 1 views

  • who is doing well, who is struggling on which concepts, and what areas are most difficult for the class as a whole.

      For this reason, I like that lessons can be adaptive. Think about the kid who has mastered the lesson who should be able to move on but can't because the teacher has to help those who don't understand. The kid that "has it" will become bored. This is a great way to challenge kids as well has help give help to those who need it.
  • tive tech can help them get past those hurdles with a little extra help, or can alert the teacher in time to step in, so those students are more likely to receive their diplomas.

      What adaptive technolies are offered at the college level? Are they free to students or do they pay? I can see this as being beneficial for those students who work jobs, go to school and even have a family to take care of.

  • clean, visual interface of Symbaloo and the ease of adding content; they also liked that they could customize the “tiles” they were adding and that their webmixes loaded quickly.

      I'm in an elementary school and use Symbaloo in my library site. The kids and teachers love how easy it is to use and find the sites that they use quickly. I even have teachers accounts linked to our school page so that specific ages can go to their own class symbaloo.
  • Because Symbaloo is web-based, you can access your favorite webmixes from different computers.

      Teachers and kids love this at my school. I even give families the link so that they can use at home. They know that if I put a resource on it, that it is safe to use and they don't have to be roaming around looking for stuff that may end up being inappropriate.
  • Instead of a teacher providing resources that everyone uses, students can utilize their PLE to acquire information using preferred apps and resources such as blogs, YouTube, Pinterest, Ning or Delicious.

      I think this would be a great way for students to reflect on their own work, if comparing the same assignment. It would also spur them to go and edit or re-do some of their work to improve.
  • they need to be taught strategies for self monitoring and self assessment

      I think we all need to learn more of how to be better at monitoring self assessment. What strategies can we give teachers to help them, help students?
  • Engage students in establishing ongoing learning goals and assessing their progress towards those goals

      Using this in data notebooks at our school. kids write the goal and then track thier progress daily/weekly/monthly. It's an easy reminder of what they are working towards.

  • formative assessment as a way not only to improve student learning, but also to increase student scores on significant achievement examinations.

      tifinif on 14 Feb 18
       
      If we are not using formative assessment along the way, then we are setting our kids up for failure in the long run. Teachers can use this information to change the way they teach and to help kids with specifics.

      I think that this would be interesting to see what students consider valuable in the assessment. What is it that they want to gain from their input?
    • tifinif
      tifinif on 06 Feb 18
       
      Totally agree. This goes back to the days when you study for a test, take the test and then do poorly because nothing you studied for was included on the test. If students have input or are able to know the expectations the results will hopefully reflect actual student learning.

  • The result is many students struggle blindly, especially non-traditional, unsuccessful, or under-prepared students, who tend to miss many of the implied expectations of a college instructor, expectations that better prepared, traditional students readily internaliz

      I think that having students of all ages know the expectations or knowledge of what is required for grades is crucial. As an adult it is important that we are clear with what we are assessing. Time is valuable at any age but certainly as an adult learner I don't want to spend hours working on a project only to find out that what I present or do was not relevant.

      I think this is so important when it comes to having student complete assignments online. In a face to face classroom communication can be easy, quick and personable. As educators we can't loose site of this when the class and assignments are online. We have to still find ways to connect and let our students know that we may not be face to face but we still care about their learning.
  • Selects and uses technologies appropriate to the content that enhance learning (SREB M.3, Varvel IV.D, ITS 3.e, ITS 4.f)

      I feel that is standard is so important because at an elementary level we have a wide range of abilities. Its nice to have websites and technology that is appropriate for a kindergarten student vs a 5th grader.
