    "The "Poetry of America" initiative is part of the Poetry and Literature Center's 75th Anniversary celebration. Through two features, "Poetry of American Identity" and "Poetry of American History," this initiative explores how poetry connects to the following themes: immigration and migration, work and industry, social change, and peace and war."

    "What would you have asked? Imagined Interviews Subject: Social Studies - American History Grade: 4th-8th Time Frame: Depends on prior tech experiences, but about four class periods, plus homework. [1 class period for research (and homework). 1 class period to draft questions and responses and script their interview. 1 class period to tape interviews. 1 class period to edit interviews.] Summary: Students will imagine they have traveled back in time to the civil war as a reporter. They will have the opportunity of a lifetime to interview an important historical figure of their choice. As their interview will run on a local news broadcast, their edited questions and answers can take no more than 2 minutes to show. (This could obviously be modified to any period in history, American or otherwise.)"

    "Reflective practice is an important sub-component of teacher research. It includes journaling and talking about one's instructional practice. However, doing reflective practice is not the same as doing teacher research. Teacher researchers hypothesize and systematically test their ideas. They look to triangulate their ideas with multiple forms of evidence multiple perspectives (inside and outside of their research group) the research literature on this topic Teacher researchers also write about their projects. Writing is an important part of the process because it requires organization of ideas within a framework."

Pros and Cons of The Flipped Classroom | TeachHUB - 2 views

questioning learning resources

  •   I useScreenr in conjunction with my iPad and the app Air Sketch to record the videos.  The students go to my website to view.
  • I hope to continue to utilize this approach, but I'd like to find a more streamlined method. Right now I've looked mostly for lecture opportunities to "flip". The omission of these lectures in the classroom setting allows for more time to discuss literature and practice writing techniques.”
  • Helps kids who were absent, stay current.•Helps kids who don't get the lesson the first time in class.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Can attach Google spreadsheets or other online quizzes to check for comprehension, along with the video link sent to students
  • •I have a long way to go in my skill set in making the videos interesting (they, to me anyway, are really boring to watch).
  • I know as I'm teaching, I get direct feedback from my students by looking at their faces and gauging comprehension. I, as a teacher, don't get that feedback as I'm designing and creating my videos.”
  • The videos are beneficial because they are easy to access and very easy to understand.  The textbook we use for an AP course is college level material- it is expected that students will be able to read at that level when taking an AP course.  However, many students are 'learning' how to read at that level. 
  • The videos are refreshing and entertaining, and may allow many to increase their literacy by having that 'access' to the text that may not have been available if they were to simply trudge through the work taking bland notes.”
  • without the proper methods to distribute technology and video information, the flipped model is doomed to fail.
  • As educators, shouldn’t our ultimate goal be to help students become “learners, who can learn for themselves, by themselves.”

    Shares both positive and negative examples straight from classroom teachers. Good food for thought and consideration if you're attempting the model!

    "Poetry 180 is designed to make it easy for students to hear or read a poem on each of the 180 days of the school year. I have selected the poems you will find here with high school students in mind. They are intended to be listened to, and I suggest that all members of the school community be included as readers. A great time for the readings would be following the end of daily announcements over the public address system. Listening to poetry can encourage students and other learners to become members of the circle of readers for whom poetry is a vital source of pleasure. I hope Poetry 180 becomes an important and enriching part of the school day."
