      The various links below are great resources! You can find everything about SLO's you are looking for.  I especially like the examples.  These would be useful when actually writing the SLOs.  
  • SLOs are now required, recommended, or identified as an example of student in growth in nearly half of U.S. states" (Lachlan-Haché, Cushing, & Bivona, 2012, p. 1).

Video Gaming in the Classroom - 0 views

  • Modern video games are an experience, a way to interact with real people, and many have educational value.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      great point. already looking forward to reading the rest of this post!
  • Students go nuts trying to verify this: they measure parts of the room, they estimate the size of the gun, all to get accurate physical numbers to quantify the game's physics.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      This is a really nice classroom example
  • They are able to experience these laws of science on a real level and through trial and error can master these concepts
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Plus, since kids play games in real life, it draws on their interests and passions. Great way to engage

      I'd be interested to hear why you believe this statement.
  • He claims this is like reading and writing.  When you learn to read and write, it opens the door for to learn other things.  When you learn to read, you can read to learn.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Very nice connection to literacy!
  • Boys need more interaction with male role models, especially in the classroom.
  • Many educational games are basically digital flash cards.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Why do you think this is? I'd say most likely because edu game developers usually are not educators?
  • Educators need to set aside the old paradigms of education and focus more on what students are doing in the virtual space.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      So true...

Crowd Learning | klj45 - 0 views

  • a type of learning that occurs through technology
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      How does it occur through technology? What types of things happen with technology that enable learning to occur?
  • First, I could use it in a small crowd form just using my students.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Seems like preschool and kindergarten "centers" are really where crowd learning originated!
  • I could ask each student to draw a picture to share
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      How about incorporating technology here? Maybe the create their apple pic using an iPad app like DoodleBuddy or on the computer using something like KidsPix. You could then post those digital pictures on your class blog to share with students and even with parents!

  • Finally, I found a small resource on TED
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      TED talks are great. Very engaging. I really like this one about collaboration by Howard Rheingold. http://www.ted.com/talks/howard_rheingold_on_collaboration.html

Geo-Learning | advat - 0 views

  • Geo-learning is a learning experience where students interact with the real world
  • Higher socioeconomic areas will have more of an advantage then lower areas
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      This is a good point and one that is easy to overlook. How can we make Geo-Learning equitable for all students?
  • I feel that Geo-Learning has endless possiblities, so many wonderful opportunities to explore and learn about our world!
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Can you talk a little about what type of possibilities you are imagining here?
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • With Geo-Learning you can bring destinations, once hard to imagine into your classroom
  • For example, when I taught in St. Croix the children in my classroom had never seen a squirrel.  With limited technologies, I goggled pictures and facts.  Children need to visualize!  I used www.youtube.com so that they could see a squirrel in its natural habitat.

      Great real-life example. Thanks for sharing!

Seamless Learning - 0 views

  • Seamless Learning is a newly developed approach that "connects learning across settings, technologies, and activities" (Innovating Pedagogy Report 2013).
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Thank you for citing your source when using a direct quote!
  • sees the classroom as a place for reflection and discussion
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Do our current iterations of the classroom reflect this view? How can/do they need to change or adapt?
  • students then further their learning at home and across various settings while connecting and interacting with mobile devices
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The article states specific projects that teachers and students have completed while following the Seamless Learning Approach
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Sounds like a great resource for teachers looking to get started with Seemless Learning.
  • the Seamless Learning approach pushes the focus away from a teacher-centered environment to student-centered
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      This seems pretty important. As a teacher, are you ready/prepared to do this? Why or why not?
  • this approach forces students to take ownership in their own learning and encourages students to explore the many uses of mobile technology as an avenue for further learning

Gaming in Education | Auburn's Blog - 0 views

  • gaming plays a major role in many of our students’ lives
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      So true, especially at the MS age.
  • we need to develop ways of integrating gaming and learning
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      I agree. How can we make gaming in the classroom more legitimate? Do you think parents think that you are wasting valuable instruction time?
  • Most educators will agree with that there is a similarity between the skills you need to succeed in schools and needed for games.  These include problem solving skills, attention to detail, creativity, and persistence
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Very nice comment and a great way to back up your previous statement!
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • “game environments enable players to construct understanding actively, and at individual paces, and that well-designed games enable players to advance on different paths at different rates in response to each player’s interests and abilities, while also fostering collaboration and learning”
  • parents and teachers have many concerns including aligning games with content standards, an unfamiliarity with the games, designing assessment tools, lack of research-based methods, and the cost of equipment and other resources
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Nice overview of the counter point.
  • What message are we sending our students in regards to technology if our classrooms do not mirror the rest of the world.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      You raise an excellent question here, and it is a question, so it needs a ? at the end.

  • It allows students to create a source of interaction through quizzing and questioning. As a teacher, you can use this to assess what students are understanding and what is most confusing.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Nice classroom example
  • PebblePad is yet another great resource for educators and students alike. This source promotes the accessibility of resources to curve and strengthen our understanding based on specific topics of interest.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      Was not aware of this resource. Thanks for sharing!
  • I think students can use this in my classroom to show their understanding of topics, as well as share responses and ways to apply concepts to other modes of learning.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      I like that you explained how you would try to use it in the classroom.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • am looking forward to exploring this concept further and incorporating it into my daily lessons with early elementary students.
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      I'd love a follow-up post about how it goes in your classroom!

Building a technology infrastructure for student learning objectives SmartBlogs - 1 views

  • While many states and districts devote a great deal of time and resources to developing SLOs, few think about creating a technology infrastructure or managing the tasks that must be accomplished to implement thousands of SLOs with fidelity.
  • districts must manage, analyze and report on hundreds or thousands of unique assessments.
    • khjones85
       
      I wonder how this will be achieved.  This seems very complicated.
    • Alexandria McNicholas
       
      I agree with you that this goal seems like such a stretch for a district to accomplish. It would be nice to see what the plan is for achieving this goal.
  • To ensure pre- and post-assessments are compatible and aligned for growth, an SLO technology platform should allow educators to easily view assessments and their attributes side by side, match items based on content and rigor, and apply or customize growth algorithms.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Implementing an SLO initiative across a school system is a complex endeavor. Properly managed, SLOs can energize a focus on learning, raise student achievement, and promote growth in professional practice
    • khjones85
       
      On 10/21 I have an inservice day in my district where we will be talking about SLOs.  This has made me think of some good questions to ask about how exactly data will be collected, measured, and reported to administrators compared to the methods that we already use for these purposes.
    • Alexandria McNicholas
       
      What answers did you get?

    Background on what technology a district must have available to support effective use of SLOs.

Fordham: This Ed Reform Thing Could Blow Up in Our Face | StateImpact Ohio - 1 views

  • Most superintendents — about 80 percent — said the law imposed unnecessary requirements on schools already doing the best they could.
    • Shiloh Lynne
       
      Schools are already strapped for money.  Where will the money come from to provide the intensive reading intervention necessary?  What happens to schools who are unable to meet the requirements?
  •  
    Ohio's Educational Reform may be too much, too fast.
  •  
    Great resource! I'm interested to see how the new teacher evaluations play out in the upcoming years. Seems like the majority of superintendents are in favor of changing evaluations but find it difficult to actually implement the more stringent evaluations.

      I really want to highlight this section!  I love the 4 family routines to commit to.  As a parent, this is a great reminder to practice what you preach.
    • Annaliese Fedorchak
       
      Wonderful resource! Thank you. As a parent and a teacher I plan to utilize this resource. Especially to support a home-school connection to promote the success of the student's reading abilities.

Third Grade Reading Guarantee | Ohio Department of Education Video - 0 views

  •  
    The ODE 3 min video on the 3rd grade guarantee is a helpful resource for educators. This video can easily explain what the 3rd grade guarantee is to parents, help to explain what it might mean for their child, and provide information on why it is in effect.
  •  
    This is a great video and would be nice to include on a classroom website for parents to view.

3rd grade guarantee for teacher and parent resources. - 0 views

  •  
    This is the source that The Ohio Department of Education would like parents and teachers to use. They have two really great resources. It includes phonics, and a variety of fiction stories, and using highlighting to focus on reading left to right. On the other hand, does every student learn the same way? What other resources can families and teachers use?
