The Tempered Radical: Organizing Learning Teams in a PLC - 0 views

  • Rather than resisting this reality, refocus the work that learning teams are doing.  Make short-term projects with specific objectives and outcomes the norm.  Have self-selected teams define exactly what it is that they plan to study during your in-service days in August.  In January, require progress reports backed up by student learning results.  In June, share what each team has learned with the entire faculty and plan new focus groups for the fall.

Study tests effectiveness of podcasts vs. lectures - 0 views

  • The results showed that the podcast viewers did considerably better than those who attended the lecture in person. The podcast group averaged nine points (out of 100) higher on the test than those in the live audience. Moreover, those who took notes during the podcast scored even higher, averaging 15 points higher than their live-lecture counterparts.
