Balancing Math Skills and Play in Kindergarten | MindShift - 5 views

  •  
    Andrew shared this interesting article. It doesn't need to be about play vs. learning. It's learning through play-like activities. When children work in groups to explore math concepts, they're also developing social interaction and communication skills. It's a win-win situation. I have certainly seen this in our Kindergarten classrooms.

The Flipped Classroom ... Think about it! - 34 views

    As you read ...
    What is the NARROW meaning of the Flipped Classroom?

    What is a BROADER interpretation of the Flipped Classroom?

    What about a Flipped Lesson? How about Flipped Professional Development?

    LS Teacher: Sage on the stage and/or guide on the side? How does this apply to the Flipped Classroom?

    You are the sage on the stage. Where are you? What are you doing?
    You are the guide on the side. Where are you? What are you doing?

    Think about a specific lesson you teach in a flipped fashion. How is it working for your students?

    Flipped Art? Science? Math? History? Do some subjects/lessons lend themselves more than others?

    Think about a lesson you might want to flip. How would you change it? What would it look like? What would be the role of the students? What would be your role? Why not try it?

    Great question, Robin. I think modeling is a very effective teaching strategy for direct instruction. Maybe there is a difference between modeling WHAT to do or HOW to do it.

    For me, the BROADER definition of the Flipped Classroom doesn't need to involve technology at all. I think it's about a shift in the role of the teacher and the student. So maybe it's the "Shifted Classroom" model. The teacher isn't the central focal point, the holder of knowledge, distributor of information. The teacher is problem presenter, listener, questioner. The teacher guides students as they try possible solutions. S/he provides formal instruction as needed ... perhaps different topics to different groups... mini-lessons. I think this can readily apply to history and geography. I'm still thinking about how this might apply to RLA instruction in the Lower School. When we talk about children learning the basic skills of "reading, writing and computation" (Strategic Goal #1), how do we best accomplish this?

    You may find this website interesting and helpful in promoting cultural awareness through literature. It's free. The books are actually photos of the pages of a real book... A little odd at first, but then, sort of quaint.

How Online Innovators Are Disrupting Education - Jason Orgill and Douglas Hervey - Harv... - 0 views

  • But Khan goes beyond the computer and customized feedback. It emphasizes critical thinking and idea creation, where real learning occurs, and downplays rote lecture learning. Active problem solving makes learning much more fun and engaging for students. As The Economist notes, students at institutions like Khan can huddle together and solve math problems around their laptops as if they were trading baseball cards or marbles.

  • Students display much more enthusiasm when they can self-direct their learning paths
