      How elementary school students choose to conduct research is a big question mark.

      A great article on elementary school student research.
  • Fortunately, there are best practices for teachers to adopt and safe websites for learners to visit, which she shares here with THE Journal.
  • Did the students have a list of safe sites to use for their research, appropriate for their grade level

      Students did not have a list of approved websites that were appropriate for their use.

  • She and her mom were proud that she had done her own research. When she said that she got her information from Wikipedia, I suggested that she might wish to include her source on the project, but she did not want to. She did not know if she would be presenting the project to her classmates.
    • nickyforest
      nickyforest on 11 Feb 18
       
      Research from a 3rd grader was done using only Wikipedia and that was not cited on her research project.
  • My concern was not just about the credibility of using Wikipedia for academic purposes. The reading level was too advanced for a typical third-grader. Researchers (Anderson, 2012) have found the overall readability of numerous Wikipedia articles too difficult for many readers.
    • nickyforest
      nickyforest on 11 Feb 18
       
      Wikipedia is not written at a 3rd grade level, or for any elementary student for that matter.
  • How is the research process introduced to elementary students, particularly for using the internet? Are learners provided an age-appropriate online tutorial? Is there a standards document indicating skills that students should be developing in elementary grades for using technology to conduct research?  What guidelines/templates are students provided for developing their projects? Are they provided a checklist/rubric for how projects would be graded? Who sees their projects?  How do you make parents aware that their children will be doing internet research and that their children’s “online safety” has been considered?

      What are the guidelines for elementary school student research. These six questions were asked of teachers in two different states.
  • elementary learners can hop on the Research Rocket at the online portal Kentucky Virtual Library: How to Do Research and find an interactive and engaging tutorial designed just for them. Content might also benefit classroom lessons and discussions, particularly in K–2 when
    • nickyforest
      nickyforest on 11 Feb 18
       
      School districts in Kentucky have a virtual library where students can learn about how to do research.
  • ibrary media specialists in the School District of New Berlin (WI) developed a series of research guides and templates, organized by grade-bands. Templates for grades 4 to 6 combine a checklist or rubric.  Lankau, Parrish, Quillin and Schilling (2004) developed the Research Project Guide: A Handbook for Teachers and Studentsfor Humble Independent School District in Texas.

      LMS staff in Wisconsin and Texas have organized templates, rubrics and checklists to help students with their research.
  • Symbaloo, a social bookmarking tool, for this purpose. The Elementary Research Guide focuses on the Super 3 and Big 6 research models for grades K–2 and 3 to 5, respectively. Presentations on the Super 3 and Big 6 models, posted on Slideshare.net, illustrate that educators value both models.

      Resources for research projects also include Symbaloo, Super 3 and Big 6 which are readily available to students and teachers.

  • "We spend approximately $330 per pupil per year on textbooks," he said. "Over four years, that's over $1,500. With the Android tablet, we'll issue it to a student when he's in the ninth grade. He will have that four years. So, that's under $150 compared to $1,500."
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 11 Jul 13
       
      This point should help to "make the pitch" as district leaders love the prospect of saving money. Going paperless saves not only on textbooks, though. Reams of paper won't need to be consumed, saving on toner cartridges, service repairs to copiers, less frequent need to replace copiers. One investment for the ninth grade student lasts four years. insurance policy costs? 
  • "The kids will have Internet access wherever they are in the building,"
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 11 Jul 13
       
      Okay, but will there be an equity issue for some students when they are at home? You can't flip a classroom if some kids have sketchy dial-up access from home, or no internet access.
  • the Androids are set up to contain graphing and science calculators, both of which can cost $75 to $100 if purchased as separate items in stores

      Get a contract out to parents over the summer. Fine kids too if they misplace their device (school bus, gym, at another school, athletic complex).

      Crux of this whole pitch/proposal.

    Part of the pitch to go paperless, to some degree within the district, or just BFA. Good budgetary motivation for the Elephant.

  • research has shown that schools that incorporate portfolios as a teaching and learning initiative typically have more success than those that view them primarily as a technology project.
  • Students must understand the standards.
  • Students must understand what it means to reflect
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Students should think about additional audiences for their work
  • Reflection is when they really start to take ownership,
  • Many colleges are now asking for more materials beyond the usual transcripts and written essays.
  • Educators can assess not just current student work, but also student development over time.
  • Schools that incorporate digital portfolios  often discover that it becomes less about technology and more about students talking about and sharing their goals

    Over the past twenty years the Internet has introduced a new element into international society. With its multijurisdictional and multifunctional character, it has begun another revolution in communications which encompasses the full range of human activity, including research, education, social communications, politics, entertainment and commerce. The Internet has placed vast sources of information within the reach of average people and businesses.

  • learning is both an active and a social process
  • learning is both an active and a social process
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      Learning is active, requires doing, could learn a lot in a PD session where teachers just CREATE or DO things with tech they could actually do in their classroom.
  • Second, professional development must be developmentally appropriate. No two teachers are the same in their knowledge of content, instruction, and students, or in their experience in applying that knowledge to the classroom. Teachers must be supported at their current position on the journey from novice to expert. Professional development must start with the teacher and build on her/his current concept of teaching and learning and his/her goals and needs.
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      Knowing this- how could we differentiate professional learning for teachers? How could we create tech PD that'd be meaningful to all- google surveys?
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Finally, professional development must allow teachers to take charge of their own professional growth. Teachers are professionals, not skilled laborers. Like all learners, teachers will only be impacted by those ideas in which they deliberately chooseto engage. Teachers must be afforded the respect to set their own course of development and be encouraged to actively monitor their own progress.
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      Give choice- a menu of tools so people can choose what they are learning? A menu of skill levels to choose from too?
  • Of particular importance is the role of collaboration in professional development. In nearly all studies of professional growth and change in classroom teaching, the presence of other colleagues who are attempting to do the same is the most consistent predictor of success
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      People learn together and grow together, but also learn from each other. This needs to be implemented in our tech PD.
  • Third, professional development takes time. The advantage of thinking of teaching as a skill is that training can happen quickly, often in the matter of weeks.
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      It'd be great to have sessions that we can learn something... go try it... then come back and practice/reflect to keep learning with the tech/new tools.
  • Perhaps the best way to take advantage of the opportunities available through technology-mediated professional learning is to integrate e-learning into a balanced professional development program that combines formal face-to-face learning experiences optimally followed by online and one-on-one support, “just in time” training and development, and collaborative work on those tasks that most directly influence the quality of teaching and learning
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      In face learning, with tech tools- could possible set up a Google Classroom "Forum" for teachers to ask questions and get further help when they are using the tools after PD. A please to drop questions and get support from "expert teachers."
