Social Networking in Schools: Incentives for Participation -- THE Journal - 2 views

    • Daphne O'Donnell
       
      I thought this was interesting because it states everything that we have learned in class. Social networking needs to be used for instruction and have a final product to demonstrate student learning.
  • If we want social networking to make a difference in instruction and learning, the medium should also be used for its publishing and production aspects, reaching higher levels of collaboration and creativity

  •  Use this form to gather some indication from your new class about their likes and dislikes, their favourite lessons or after school clubs they enjoy. It will help you to build your relationships with children as you quickly learn more about them. Get your own copy .

  • Weekly reading record The children in our school have a reading diary that they use to record information about times that they read during the week. They take it home as well as using it at school. A form could be created by the children as a place to enter data about their reading. I hear “I haven’t got my reading diary,” so many times during the year, this way they have no excuses and can access it from any computer. Alternatively a class form could also be setup to gather together everyone’s record.

  • Maths data handling Perhaps the easiest to pick up and run with, the idea of using a form to gather together maths data handling information. The form could be a simple way of collecting information about the class – shoe size, eye colour etc. It is obviously about what you do with the data that counts but their is no reason why children couldn’t design and implement their own forms –

      Great way to organize data in math and to teach students how to use and create Google Forms.
  • Prior learning assessment Use a form to assess what the children already know about any given topic that you are beginning. The form could be a formalised assessment with specific questions about the topic or it could be more general and open for the children to explain what they know. Either way such an assessment would allow you to have a better understanding of the current level of knowledge the children have about a topic.

      Google Forms can do the work for you when it comes to assessing students. After students take the assessment the data will be in the spreadsheet. Also, this is a simple way to assess before a unit.
  • This is one of the ten ideas I would most like to explore this year as we continue to use Google Docs as part of our tech toolbox. Use a form to assess the relative success of the learning that has taken place during a single lesson or after a series of lessons on a topic. Invite the children to assess their own confidence after practice of something – such as a lesson on one of the written multiplication methods.

      Helps make the students responsible for their own learning, and teaches them to be active learners that reflect.
