  • Giving students the ability to pause their teachers is truly revolutionary.
  • We often move too fast for some students and too slowly for others
  • overall interaction increases: teacher-to-student, and student-to-student. Because the role of the teacher has changed from presenter of content to learning coach,
  • students with special needs can watch the videos as many times as they need to learn the materia
  • carry out meaningful activities instead of completing busywork.
  • Because we were not just standing and talking at kids, many of the classroom management problems evaporated.
  • . Because students are coming with the primary focus on learning, there are two real questions now: Is each student learning? If not, what can we do to help them learn? These are much more profound questions, and when we discuss them with parents, we move the focus to a place that will help parents understand how their students can become better learners.

BYOD to School? - 0 views

  •  
    This fall, more schools than ever are allowing students to use their own laptops, iPads, and cell phones in the classroom. Administrators hope these bring-your-own-technology initiatives, recommended in the U.S. Department of Education's 2010 National Education Technology Plan (NETP), will help cut costs and increase student engagement.

Beyond Book Reports - Book Trailers | Scholastic.com - 0 views

  • Evidence shows that students who create visual representations of a concept are more likely to retain information than those who do not.
    • Leah Starr
       
      Book trailers are a way for students to show their understanding of a book in a visual way. It's also a great way for them to be creative and have fun!
  • The first step for students is creating a visual representation, or storyboard, of the video they hope to produce. The storyboard will help them clarify their topic and theme, and synthesize the information they hope to convey.

      Some great examples to use as a model for students when they are starting off.
  • In the classroom, book trailers are a fresh way for students to summarize what they have read while breaking out of the traditional book report format.
  • ow that a storyboard has been established, it’s time to put those tech skills to work! There are many software options for making a book trailer, including Photo Story and Windows Movie Maker, but for a truly theatrical experience, I prefer Apple’s iMovie.
  • I like to assign each student a role such as “film editor” or “art director” in order to make the project more personalized. You may also want to assign the role of “technical director” to an expert who can solve minor technical glitches.
  • What better way to celebrate student success than to have a screening party!
