Sean Nash on 08 Jun 14This seems to be intuitively logical to me at this point. This results is likely not based on many meta-analyses. I'll have to look these up.

First, students are engaged through activation of a schema. Basically, setting the stage for learning something new by invoking things they already know. Second, students do an experiment where they are allowed to “mess around” with a concrete phenomenon. Third, an extensive class or tutorial discussion or activity takes place where students attempt to make sense of what they’ve seen. This is the most critical stage, and must include scaffolding, guided questioning, modeling, shaping, concept mapping and so on. Finally, having developed a set of principles or a theory, students are made to apply the theory to a novel problem or situation. Some have formalized this learning cycle into four stages and an acronym: Activation (A; the set up), Concrete (C; the experiment), Invent (I; the discussion etc.), and Apply (A; the application to a novel problem); ACIA.

Ah, yes.... learning cycles. This sounds much like the 5E approach to me.

direct instruction method (lecturing to small classes) gets a bum wrap that it doesn’t deserve. It works very well provided instructors are versed in the proper use of questioning, scaffolding (building a mental framework to accompany the knowledge), and modeling (showing students good example of what they want and expect).

He lost me on the first paragraph with the stereotyping of university professors. The last 7 years have shown a major shift in accountabillity at the post-secondary level. Univiersities, colleges and for-profit education institutions must now show a return on investment for students like never before. Part of this is due to financial aid availability dependent on institutional graduation and post-graduation employment rates. Don't start an article dissing those who teach those who will serve in the elementary and high school classes.
Challenges of Laparoscopic Surgery - Activity - www.TeachEngineering.org - 2 views

"Students teams use a laparoscopic surgical trainer to perform simple laparoscopic surgery tasks (dissections, sutures) using laparoscopic tools. Just like in the operating room, where the purpose is to perform surgery carefully and quickly to minimize patient trauma, students' surgery time and mistakes are observed and recorded to quantify their performances. They learn about the engineering component of surgery. "

The Beneath the Waves - Youth Making Ripples Film Competition - is an opportunity for K-12 students (< 18 years of age) to use their creative talents and serve as a voice for our oceans. We encourage elementary, middle and high school students to create their own marine related film on a topic of their interest. All submission must be less than 5 minutes. The message of your film can focus on an interesting marine topic, a specific marine related problem or issue, or a call to action for conservation.

The goal of Encyclopedia of Life is to be a portal to information about all species of life on Earth. Ultimately, the Encyclopedia hopes to "serve as an online reference source and database for every one of the 1.8 million species that are named and known on this planet, as well as all those later discovered and described. Encyclopedia of Life will be used as both a teaching and a learning tool, helping scientists, educators, students, and the community at large gain a better understanding of this planet and all who inhabit it." Many resources are available already, however, this site always will be a work in progress.
