No classrooms and lots of technology: a Danish school's approach - The Globe and Mail - 1 views

  • “We try to put the single child in the centre and challenge every child,” he says. “We let each child work in the learning style that is preferable for them.”
  • Cellphones are permitted and the youngest students are each given a laptop or tablet. Older students are free to come and go from school as they please, as long as they stay in touch with teachers by smartphone
  • all about equipping students with 21st century skills, such as synthesizing large amounts of information accessible online and working on problems with groups. “Our philosophy is that we have to give students academic skills, but just as important are social and personal skills.”

Some Ideas for Motivating Students - 0 views

  • they do not understand what to do or why they should do it. Teachers should spend more time explaining why we teach what we do, and why the topic or approach or activity is important and

      Students need to have a purpose/reason- jumping through hoops does not motivate many students.
  • Everyone likes the feeling of accomplishment and recognition; rewards for good work produce those good feelings.
    • Hilary Phukan
       
      I have found that in many cases it is the praise or acknowledgement of good behavior or good work- the reward is physical evidence of that- the kids do not care about the value of the reward. In fact often the crummier the reward the more they enjoy it.
  • If you can make something fun, exciting, happy, loving, or perhaps even a bit frightening, students will learn more readily and the learning will last much longer
    • Hilary Phukan
       
      This makes me think of some of the field work our students have experienced- makes learning more relevant.

  • One of the major keys to motivation is the active involvement of students in their own learning.

      This sounds a lot like expeditionary learning.

  • Attending to need satisfaction is a primary method of keeping students interested and happy.
    • Hilary Phukan
       
      Yes, if the student does not have needs met and feel they are safe/secure then learning does not happen.

    Student motivation issues? Consider these ideas.

    Remix Culture: Addendum  Remix Culture at it's finest and funniest.  These people have taken cspan coverage and newscasters, auto-tuned their voices, added a backing beat and created an amazing song.  This is not the funniest but it is the most pc of their videos.  I don't think any of their videos would be offensive to most adults.  "Turtles," is probably my fav.

YouTube - The Evolution of Remix Culture - 0 views

  •  
    Remix Culture: Part 1 of 3. At about 8 minutes this is a great intro to remix culture.  What is remix culture?  From my point of view, it is the recontextualization of information which results in increased meaning.  By drawing upon part of our shared cultural heritage (a song or video) and mashing it up with either another part of our shared culture or content created by yourself (or friends),  people are now able to leverage both content areas to make ultra rich content. Kind of like when you watch "The Wizard of Oz" and listen to "Dark Side of the Moon"

    1. Establishing where learners are in their learning 2. Establishing where they are going 3. Establishing how to get there. By considering separately the roles of the teacher and the students themselves, Wiliam and Thompson proposed that formative assess- ment could be built up from five "key strategies."

    I normally don't recommend Microsoft products but this free book on being safe is well written and wide ranging.  I even learned something so I daresay it contains good information for adults as well, (if you don't mind Manga illustrations).

Homework and Practice | Researched-Based Strategies | Focus on Effectiveness - 5 views

  • Understand the four types of homework. Know when and why to have students practice: Memorization of basic rules, algorithms, or laws so the skill becomes rote. Increase in skill speed, used for improving students' abilities to apply these skills in more complex problem solving. Deepening understanding of a concept—providing students time to read further, elaborating on a new idea and expanding their understanding. Preparation for the following day's learning, such as an advance organizer or cue to increase readiness for new information.
  • Practice means students are engaged in applying new learning, often repeatedly

      This strikes me as super relevant to planning.
    • Laurie Traxler
       
      This sounds a lot like sped steps of skill acquisition: introduce the skill/concept, practice till mastery (usually 90%) then after mastered, practice for fluency, which is when skills can be timed.

Easy Addition - An AskERIC Lesson Plan - 0 views

  • THE ANSWER!!! TIP: If the above example had a list of sums that ended with a 20 *(rather than 19), the list can be added just as the original problem was added so that the student won't have to carry here either. See the sample below. EXAMPLE: 5830 2967 836 + 38567 -------- 30000 15000 3000 180 Here the 80 + 20 = 100. Using 20 the old method of adding, the ------- '1' would have to be carried... 40000 here we just add from left to 8000 right again to get rid of that 100 problem... 100 ------- 48200 THE ANSWER!!! TYING IT TOGETHER: Do math problems and test the kids for speed and accuracy. I usually do a pretest without telling the kids why...having them time the test. I keep this and give it again a couple/three weeks later once they

    This would be a good opportunity if any schoolcraft teachers can go to this, and/or maybe this John Fylpaa could be invited to join the June events?

    When the grant was being written John was one of the people we contacted. Although we can not pay him to take part in our activities (because he works for a governmental agency) he would still like to participate with our group. I talked to him this past Tuesday and I believe he will be attending our next steering committee meeting.
