    The more explicit tags you used on this bookmark are more helpful than your initial tags that were very general "Learning" I hope the tags will be helpful for you to search for bookmarks in the future for you and your faculty. Great start. Looking forward to learning from you and your shared resources next week.

Promoting Student Self-Assessment - ReadWriteThink - 0 views

  • Student Created Rubrics: Ask students to contribute to the creation of a rubric that defines success. A reading response task, a multi-modal presentation, or a group discussion leads to higher levels of learning when students are included in defining success. Learning Contract: Ask students to create and agree to a learning contract at the beginning of a unit. The learning contract can define the learning goals, the "photo album" of evidence of learning, and agreed upon activities. At numerous times during the unit, ask students to revisit the contract, record new learning or muddy points and to get feedback from you or other peers. Muddy Point Board: Designate an area in the room or a board for students to pin questions, muddy points, or topics they'd like the class to revisit. Asking students to periodically pick a question or comment from the board to discuss can build student ownership of learning.

Learn to Code, Code to Learn | MindShift - 0 views

  • “As kids are creating projects like this, they’re learning to code, but even more importantly, they’re coding to learn. Because as they learn to code, it enables them to learn many other things, opens up many new opportunities for learning. Again, it’s useful to make an analogy to reading and writing. When you learn to read and write, it opens up opportunities for you to learn so many other things. When you learn to read, you can then read to learn. And it’s the same thing with coding. If you learn to code, you can code to learn. Now some of the things you can learn are sort of obvious. You learn more about how computers work. But that’s just where it starts. When you learn to code, it opens up for you to learn many other things.”

    Again, I agree but educational technologies are difficult to move forward in classrooms, at least I can say that it is tough this year with AchieveNJ, Common Core, & PARCC all being implemented at once. I think we are on the way and getting the word out....let's see how much we grow in 2 years.

Should Schools Treat Coding as a 'Basic Literacy'? - Teaching Now - Education Week Teacher - 0 views

  • On the educational value of coding, the piece quotes Adam Enbar, founder of New York's Flatiron School, which offers a number of pricey computer-programming courses, including a two-week session for high school students:   "I equate coding to reading and writing and basic literacy. Not everyone needs to be Shakespeare, just as not everyone needs to be an amazing developer," he says. "But ... we're entering a world where every job, if not already, will be technical."
