I came across this while doing some research for my project and thought it fit nicely this module's topics.

A great guide to for preparing how one might implement SBG, and what not to do!

Interesting! I enjoyed the linked article: https://fnoschese.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/keep-it-simple-standards-based-grading/ My children's school district utilizes SBG--but I will say, many teachers do not implement effectively...

As we begin to develop online content, we should begin considering the need for collaboration in the online classroom setting. In a recent survey by Cengage Learning, students were asked, "How connected do you feel to your classmates in your in-person classes?" and "How connected do you feel to your classmates in your online classes?"

"In this brief, we do not prescribe specific innovations that schools should adopt under ESSA (although we mention a few). Instead, we offer a series of frameworks for thinking about how systems can successfully manage innovation under the new law."

If you're looking to get started in the cryptocurrency world, one of the first things you'll need to do is create a Binance account. Binance is one of the largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, so it's a good idea to have an account there. Creating a Binance account is relatively simple and only requires a few pieces of information from you. However, before you can start trading on Binance, you'll need to verify your account. This process can take a little bit of time, but it's worth it to make sure your account is secure. Once your account is verified, you'll be able to deposit money into it and start trading cryptocurrencies. If you're new to the world of crypto, Binance is a great place to start. With its large selection of coins and easy-to-use interface, it's perfect for beginner investors.

Today's student generation is mobile, online and Internet-savvy. They are all computer gurus, and they often engage better with their electronics than they do with paper and pencil. As the saying goes, when you can't beat 'em, join 'em: charge into the information age as a 21 st century teacher.

Huge list of sites and apps that foster collaboration. Tools are divided by grade level and a section for special education is included.

With input from more than 11 million student users annually, MyLab & Mastering creates online learning experiences that are truly personalized and continuously adaptive. MyLab & Mastering reacts to how students are actually performing, offering data-driven guidance that helps them better absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. Includes the ability to make video watching a prerequisite for doing the related problems.

Another neat site that has everything from a rubric generator to educational games. There are several tools to help any teacher bring more tech into their classroom. I have only used one of them, so I am looking forward to seeing what some of the others can do.

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!

This podcast features Drs. Schroeder and Haskell, professors at Boise State. They do weekly shows about technology and creative uses for it a K-12 environment.

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.
