How to make RSA Animate style videos with your class… : Blogush - 0 views

  •  
    This teacher chose to have his students create RSA Animate-style videos as "an easy way to make them visualize their information, make connections, and re-tell their facts in a story that had a very tight story line that flowed.  All skills that would transfer nicely to any traditional essay." He really emphasizes the preparation and planning stages, which is great. He also talks about the process, which is useful.  All said, a great resource.

There Is No Such Thing as THE Flipped Class - Aaron Sams - 1 views

  •  
    "Here is the problem with the term "Flipped Class:" it implies version one of our screencasting model: that which used to be done in class is now done at home, and that which used to be done at home, is now done in class.  In a nutshell, that IS "The Flipped Classroom," but it does not end there, which is why the term "The Flipped Classroom" does not do justice to the many models being used."

    "A true flipped classroom is centered on the idea that technology can help us deliver quality teaching when and where the students are ready for it. Teaching methodology must be pedagogically sound in order for a flipped classroom to be effective, but that is no different than any other method being explored by teachers."

Project-Based Learning: Real-World Issues Motivate Students | Edutopia - 1 views

  •  
    "We teach numbers, then algebra, then calculus, then physics. Wrong!" exclaims the Massachusetts Institute of Technology mathematician, a pioneer in artificial intelligence. "Start with engineering, and from that abstract out physics, and from that abstract out ideas of calculus, and eventually separate off pure mathematics. So much better to have the first-grade kid or kindergarten kid doing engineering and leave it to the older ones to do pure mathematics than to do it the other way around."

Do students need to learn lower-level factual and procedural knowledge before they can ... - 0 views

  •  
    Very smart writing on the distinctions between a hierarchy of thinking vs. scaffolded learning. "the notion that students have to be immersed in 'lower-level' factual and procedural knowledge BEFORE they can do 'higher-level' thinking work doesn't comport with what we know from cognitive research."

    "This then leads into a discussion of ... the reconstructive and associative nature of long-term memory. ... when we remember information, it is a combination of what we have experienced and what we know about the world." Memory as constructed experience. Beautiful.

Practice for Knowledge Acquisition (Not Drill and Kill) - APA - 0 views

  •  
    "Researchers who have investigated expert and novice performance have uncovered important distinctions between deliberate practice and other activities, such as work, play and rote repetition. Rote repetition - simply repeating a task - will not automatically improve performance. Effective practice is deliberate."
