  • Do most students think about the effect of these issues on their everyday lives? Do our students consider the roles they might play in changing how a science-connected problem is resolved over the coming decades?
  • Proficient science readers will read the text that correlates to a table of data, for example, and then study the table, looking for features like units of measure, data range values, and column titles. They will then look back at the text to reread, or continue reading, in an effort to connect this information to the text.

Watch Technology and Drama - Teaching with glove puppets | K-12 Online Conference Episo... - 1 views

  •  
    "A junior science class demonstrates a lesson about multicelular organisms using glove puppets with a constructivist approach to problem solving and a blended learning model. This activity has even been adapted by the teacher Roland Gesthuizen to help explore complex topics including technology issues such as cyberbullying, privacy, programming, copyright, freedom and ethical behaviour whilst improving their literacy and social skills. This is a very engaging way to quickly assess student understanding using some simple technology and computer skills without the need for sophisticated digital equipment."

Aligning Philosophy and Practice - nashworld - 3 views

    One of my foundational rules of classroom engagement is simply this: never be the first one to open your mouth and start talking about any topic. Twenty years in the classroom taught me that one. Never assume. Never take prior knowledge for granted. Listen first, then act. Never presume to know what the students in front of you are capable of. They'll show you if you are bold enough to listen.
