Good Teachers May Not Fit the Mold - Educational Leadership - 0 views

Project Based Learning - Explained: A Custom Video Project with BIE - Common Craft - Our Product is Explanation - 7 views

  •  
    When people ask about the inspiration for our style of videos, I often say that our videos reflect the way that I wish I had learned in school. My learning style wasn't a good match for the way I was taught. Recently we completed a custom video project with the Buck Institute for Education (BIE) that focuses on a Project Based Learning or "PBL", and boy did it open my eyes. I can now see that I needed teachers who put PBL to work. I needed to get up from my desk and engage. I needed to work on a real-world issue and use creativity and problem solving - what are known as 21st century skills these days. This video is an introduction to PBL and how it impacted a science teacher's students and helped their community.

Deeper Learning: Highlighting Student Work | Edutopia - 0 views

    "I travel with a heavy suitcase. Over my 35-year career as a public school teacher and educator at Expeditionary Learning, I have been obsessed with collecting student work of remarkable quality and value. I bring this work with me whenever I visit schools or present at conferences and workshops, because otherwise no one would believe me when I describe it."

    It is great that people have so many possibilities to learn today.
  •  
    Though a lot of people still think that online education has cons (maybe it is partially true), I personally find it to be very effective. The biggest advantage for me is that students have the freedom to juggle their careers and school because they aren't tied down to a fixed schedule. It also so happened that I worked with the guys from https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay-examples/art/ and wrote an article on the topic. If done correctly, online classes can be as effective as regular school classes, even more for some students. The scientists concluded that distance learning is efficient with a quality curriculum in combination with the right method of education and pedagogical approach.

    Do you usually do your homework on your own? I'm in my first year of university, and there are subjects I can't understand, and I need help with my assignments.

    I am not very interested in history and therefore I would rather order a term paper than write it myself. You can also see details and order your own paper. It greatly simplifies my life and adds more free time. That is why I order there not the first and not the last time. Everything is always of high quality and on time.

      Digital storytelling - ICT for learning - 20 views

      •  
        When first I heard the expression 'digital storytelling' I understood it to refer to fictional writing. At the time I believe it did but now it covers all manner of writing and what have we always got our children to do to demonstrate learning? Retell what they have been taught. This doesn't necessarily move us far along Bloom's Taxonomy so what's the alternative? Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) have presented a reworking of Bloom that is suited to an age where material is deconstructed and reconstructed i.e. mashed. Creating, that 21 century skill, is at the apex.

      PBL Series… Driving Questions: Students Uncovering Amazing Content Through Inquiry | 21 st Century Educational Technology and Learning - 0 views

      •  
        I really like Diving Questions. In fact, I like them so much more then Essential Questions. You might ask why? I think it just might be my affection for the revised Bloom's Taxonomy. You may remember that in the revision the different levels were changed into action. In fact, I strongly believe that learning is a verb and is based on action. Take away the word "Question" and Driving is a verb loaded with action. The word "Essential" standing alone is only a word devoted to describing… a colorful but inactive adjective.

      FAQs - EMS Fitness Time - 0 views

      •  
        Most Frequent Questions And Answers FAQs HOW DOES EMS WORK? EMS training at Fitness Time is a full body workout that doesn't only target one specific muscle group. During EMS training, up to 90% of muscles are activated simultaneously and the muscle contractions are of higher quality and more intense than a voluntary exertion can do alone. Compared to conventional weight training, EMS training activates deeper muscle groups leading to better balance amongst the muscles in the body and increased core stability. Fitness Time EMS devices are able to stimulate multiple muscle groups simultaneously, allowing for a repeated activation of the whole body. You'll always do your EMS training under the guidance of a personal trainer who can activate eight muscle groups individually (such as the lower back, stomach, biceps and gluts) according to your goals and needs. CAN I LOSE WEIGHT WITH EMS? Yes. In the first phase of the training, you will lose centimeters and in the second phase, fat depots are attacked. Due to the increased muscle activity, you will also burn more calories. EMS training is a perfect complement to a dietary change in order to support weight-loss effectively. CAN ANYONE DO IT? The EMS system is designed for any age and body type, from young sportsmen to older people looking for help with mobility and fitness. SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT ANY CONTRAINDICATION BEFORE PRACTICING EMS TRAINING? Certain medical conditions are known to be contraindications and EMS training with Fitness Time is not recommended in certain cases. For some medical conditions, a doctor's consent might be needed and suitability for the training needs to be assessed on an individual case-to-case basis. Medical conditions*requiring assessment include the following: - Circulatory disorders, acute stroke, stent, thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases (i.e. arteriosclerosis). - Bleeding, bleeding tendency or hemophilia. - Diabetes mellifluous. - Abdominal wall hernia or inguinal herni

        Buying 5 star reviews on Google is safe. You can buy Google reviews from us. We will provide you with a good service and a good quality account from our team. We have been providing this service for many years now and we are sure that we can provide you the best service ever! Benefits of buying Google reviews You'll get more traffic and more customers. You'll get more sales. You'll make more profits. Your business will be trusted, respected, and authoritative in its field because Google reviews are a sign that people like what you do-and they've written about it! If someone trusts you enough to write about your business on their blog or website (or anywhere else), then they're likely going to buy from you too! That's why it's crucial that before investing in any type of marketing campaign (including buying reviews), make sure there's some kind of traction happening already with potential customers who want what they offer but aren't quite ready yet…or even at all yet! Because once someone has tried out something new via word-of-mouth recommendations or social media posts-like how did I get so many followers on Instagram?!?-it becomes easier than ever before for those same people who liked the product before trying again later down the road when their needs change again." Can you purchase google reviews? Yes, you can buy google reviews. You can buy google reviews for your business. You can buy google reviews for your website. You can buy Google Reviews for your products and services, too! And if you want to give the gift of some extra positive buzz on social media? You can even do that-you just need to know where to look (and how much it costs). Does google ever pay reviews? Google does not pay for reviews. Google does not provide any incentive for reviews. Google does not allow paid reviews or incentivized reviews on its platform, which means you can't pay someone to write a positive review of your property and make it appear as

      Sra. Spanglish: AAPPL Measures and IPAS - 0 views

      •  
        AAPPL Measures and IPAS I think tests are stupid. A test can't tell you how well I do my job or live my life--or anything you really need to know about me. Now, I'm really good at taking tests, and if you were to look at various test scores I've accumulated in my life, I daresay you'd be impressed with me. But do you know how much bearing the ACT, SAT, or GRE has had on any of my roles since college or grad school application time? Do you know how much impact that Issues in Teaching Foreign Languages or  Masterpieces of Hispanic Art and Literature exam has had on me as a teacher, mother, wife, or friend--or even as a speaker of Spanish?

        As most of you know, the uber gods of PBL are BIE. I was first introduced to the BIE PBL 'model' from mate Dean Groom who handed me over what I still refer to as my 'PBL Bible' - a ring-binder full of the BIE Freebies that help teachers plan effective projects and keep students on track as they move through the different phases of each project. The cool thing is that you can use as much or as little as you want … PBL is a very personal process that (like all good teaching) should be tailored to the expertise and needs of the teacher and students. However, there are 8 Elements of Project Based Learning that can be called the 'essential elements' of PBL … keeping an eye on these and 'testing' your project design based on them can help you determine if what you're creating isn't just a 'project'. I really like this statement from BIE contrasting PBL and traditional 'projects':

        A typical unit with a "project" add-on begins by presenting students with knowledge and concepts and then, once gained, giving students the opportunity to apply them. Project Based Learning begins with the vision of an end product or presentation. This creates a context and reason to learn and understand the information and concepts.

      'The Objective of Education Is Learning, Not Teaching' - Knowledge@Wharton - 26 views

      • This involves an intense effort on the part of the explainer to get into the other person's mind, so to speak, and that exercise is at the heart of learning in general. For, by practicing repeatedly how to create links between my mind and another's, I am reaching the very core of the art of learning from the ambient culture. Without that skill, I can only learn from direct experience; with that skill, I can learn from the experience of the whole world. Thus, whenever I struggle to explain something to someone else, and succeed in doing so, I am advancing my ability to learn from others, too.

      Project Assessment Alternatives - Classroom 2.0 - 1 views

      • I am interested in hearing alternate approaches to assessing projects other than using rubrics. I want to  begin moving away from rubric use, as I have experienced students tend to work to satisfy the rubric rather than focus on the process of learning (isn't a rubric just another way of answering the student question "What do I need to do to get an A on the project?").  While a rubric can be constructed so as to avoid prescriptive language, and consequently prescriptive projects, they then become less effective in assessing the project overall. Further, I am hoping to encourage a more "learning for it's own sake" environment, rather than learning to get a grade as described by the rubric. Is anyone using pure narratives/personal reflections as the sole project assessment tool?  If so, what are students asked to write? Personal reflections on what was learned through the project? Summary of project goal achievement? What are you looking for in the narratives as evidence of true learning?

      The Muppets Guide to Project-Based Learning (PBL) | Michael K. Milton ~ @42ThinkDeep - 0 views

        "One of my goals for this upcoming year is to create a project-based learning (PBL) unit for my World History class. In order to wrap my head around this concept I have been lurking in different Twitter chats and reading articles about PBL. Still, the concept seemed foreign to me. It wasn't until I was running this morning and my mind was a million miles away (an estimate only) thinking about the new Muppet movie that things began to connect."
