    "The Globally Competent Student Sandra L. Russo and Leigh Ann Osborne What characteristics would a globally competent Student possess? What does this Student know upon graduation day that a Student wi thout this sort of education does not? For some Students, all or most of these characteristics are ones that s/he will find ways to develop even if the resources are lacking. For others, they must be convinced of the need to develop global competence. It is the charge of the administrators who decide, th e faculty who teach, the legislators who fund, and the potential employers [private se ctor leaders] who motivate, to leave no doubts in the Student's mind about the importance of becoming a globa lly competent Student. Our objective, as NASULGC institutions, is to de velop globally competent undergr aduate and graduate Students who will become globally competent citizens. "

Project Based Learning Viewed Through a Digital Lens - 19 views

  •  
    Often we search for meaningful ways to integrate digital technology in project based learning activities given to our students. We also would like our students to develop a thorough understanding of the concepts underlying the work - after all this is the purpose of the project. Giving students the opportunity to complete and present their project through a digital lens has one great advantage - student engagement. This in turn causes students to develop a more in depth understanding of concepts.

The Pygmalion Effect: Communicating High Expectations | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    In 1968, two researchers conducted a fascinating study that proved the extent to which teacher expectations influence student performance. Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. In educational circles, this has been termed the Pygmalion Effect, or more colloquially, a self-fulfilling prophecy. What has always intrigued me about this study is specifically what the teachers did to communicate that they believed a certain set of students had "unusual potential for academic growth." The research isn't overly explicit about this, but it indicates that the teachers "may have paid closer attention to the students, and treated them differently in times of difficulty." This begs the following questions: Why can't teachers treat all of their students like this? How do we communicate to students whether we believe in them or not?

    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.

    Bihu is a festival celebrated primarily in the Indian state of Assam, which marks the beginning of the Assamese New Year and the arrival of spring. The festival is celebrated three times a year: Rongali or Bohag Bihu in mid-April, Kongali or Kati Bihu in mid-October, and Bhogali or Magh Bihu in mid-January. Rongali Bihu, also known as Bohag Bihu, is the most important of the three Bihu festivals and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor. The festival typically lasts for seven days and involves various traditional rituals, cultural programs, and feasting. During Rongali Bihu, people clean and decorate their homes, wear new clothes, and prepare traditional delicacies such as pitha (rice cakes), laru (sweet balls made of rice flour), and fish curry. They also perform traditional folk dances such as the Bihu dance, which is performed by both men and women in groups.

    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.

Evernote Blog | How to Create a Portfolio with Evernote (Education Series) - 0 views

  •  
    Digital portfolios of student work are powerful to help students see how they have grown over time. In turn, they support confidence in students to tackle things they may have once thought too difficult to learn. I have used wikis for this purpose, and they work well, but Evernote, with its apps for smartphones in addition to web access and desktop apps, is more versatile. In addition, students can take photos and make voice recordings to add to their notes, and share folders with their teachers and group members. Great tips here in this article.

Sample PBL Cards - 61 views

  •  
    These "recipe cards" for Project/Problem Based Learning are intended for teachers to use with K12 students in groups, as well as individual students. Each card creates student learning categorized as TimeTravelers, Artists & Inventors, Historian Challenges, StoryTellers, ProblemSolvers, Scientist Challenges, Career & Tech Ed. The cards are meant to help teachers integrate core content and deeply embed creativity, problem-solving, and collaborative learning in each student, with or without the use of technology tools. The core content pieces are the basic ingredients with which teachers can cook delicious content for their hungry learners. Teachers are able to customize the driving questions in each of the content areas to fit the unique needs of their learners. The cards guide teachers through the basic steps of the project, with ideas and suggestions for best practice. The tips & tricks help establish a safe and respectful learning environment every single day of the year.

Curriculum Leadership Journal | ergo: an online framework for critical literacy in secondary education - 0 views

  •  
    School students are one of the groups served by the Library. Today's young people are exposed to more information than any previous generation. The sheer quantity of information students are now expected to process and manipulate makes critical thinking and information literacy skills more important than ever. To this end the Library has recently developed the ergo website, a learning and teaching tool for secondary teachers and students that supports the instruction of information literacy and critical thinking skills in the classroom. ergo provides not only online resources but also a conceptual framework for the development of the skills students need to evaluate information.

Personalized PBL: Student-Designed Learning | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    "I wrote a blog about one of the pitfalls of personalization for the ASCD Whole Child Blog. Specifically, that pitfall is the lack of engagement. With all the focus on personalization through time, pacing, and place, it can be easy to forget about the importance of engagement. No matter where students learn, when they learn, and the timing of the learning, engagement drives them to learn. When we factor all the pieces of personalization together, we can truly meet students where they are and set them on a path of learning that truly meets their needs and desires. Project-based learning can be an effective engagement framework to engage students in personalized learning."

4 Keys To Designing A Project-Based Learning Classroom - - 0 views

  •  
    "Traditional American classrooms tend to fit a particular mold: Students face the front of the class where teachers lecture. Students take notes, finish assignments at home, and hope to memorize enough information just long enough to pass a test. Engagement and passion are often in short supply - among Students and teachers. The system does not necessarily accommodate all learning styles, and even those who fair well may be missing out on other important work-life lessons, like how to creatively solve problems, stay focused, work as part of a team, and organize their thoughts in a way others will understand. This is where project-based learning enters the equation."
