"Explicit strategy instruction is at the core of good comprehension instruction. "Before" strategies activate students' prior knowledge and set a purpose for reading. "During" strategies help students make connections, monitor their understanding, generate questions, and stay focused. "After" strategies provide students an opportunity to summarize, question, reflect, discuss, and respond to text."

This is a crucial piece of information that a teacher must have to complete a lesson, and one that may cause frustration it has not been taught/shared.

  There are lots of ways to work thru this, so it isn't as easy as it sounds. A lot of the solution is based upon your depth of knowledge. However, with good problem-solving skills (and sometimes a few friends or students) teachers can work thru it.

  I have participated in a few hangouts via wireless. As long as you don't care about the video not freezing up, then NBD. However, if I were going to use as training options, I would need to go with Ethernet. Just something to keep in mind.

cooperative learning

In the ideal classroom, all students would learn how to work cooperatively with others, compete for fun and enjoyment, and work autonomously on their own. Cooperation is working together to accomplish shared goals. Within cooperative situations, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to themselves and beneficial to all other group members. it may be concluded that it is the drive for goal accomplishment that motivates cooperative and competitive behavior. Positive interdependence tends to result in promotive interaction, negative interdependence tends to result in oppositional or contrient interaction, and no interdependence results in an absence of interaction.
