What is the best way to meet today's students "in the middle?" Kids today are more tech-savvy than ever before, and teachers are struggling to make sure that every student is educated according to their needs. From elementary to secondary school, students learn at different rates and have varying needs of social and educational interaction.

This is from Edutopia and offers some very well thought out/organised ways of managing or facilitating different types of online discussions. It provides strategies for certain types of objectives, as well as examples for different content areas.

This is a resource guide by Edutopia about discussion boards.

This toolkit contains five different types of tools. Some were developed by NGLC regional partners and others are nationally-produced resources used by the regional partners to nurture and support equity within next gen learning design.

"Notability"

Despite concerns about Chat GPT being used for dishonest behavior (e.g., cheating), Chat GPT should be viewed as a tool that promotes critical thinking responses, prevents cheating, helps analyze data/processes, and provides suggestions to make procedures/duties more efficient and effective in K-12 schools. Therefore, schools must embrace GPT to prepare students for the future.

Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts isn't a school with extra funding or special dispensation to try something totally different. Students sit at desks, they rotate through periods and, in many ways, the school hasn't revolutionized what it looks like to attend school.

Online learning is growing. How do online classrooms differ from the face to face classroom? What about the student/teacher relationship? Jade Ballek is a principal of an online K12 school in Canada. She tells all: the challenges of online learning and the strengths. Sylvia Duckworth made a sketchnote to go with this show!

As I mentioned earlier this week, I'm doing some research and writing on the idea of "transfer of learning." As part of that research, I've been exploring online simulations that could "transfer" learning to different situations students might realistically encounter in classes or outside of school.
