Lisa Nielsen: The Innovative Educator: Could PBL be the Solution to Education Reform? - 0 views

pbl education reform reform

shared by Kim McCoy-Parker on 15 May 13 - No Cached
  • the solution to the education reform that teachers are looking for, could quite possibly be ... Project-Based Learning.
  •  If students are engaged in PBL, they can begin creating an ePortfolio in order to demonstrate their learning and understanding of standards, rather than testing for them.
  • When teachers integrate Project-Based Teaching, they are providing the opportunity for differentiated learning, rather than differentiated instruction.  "Differentiated learning shifts the responsibility for the learning to the learner (where it belongs)"
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • With PBL, students are empowered to work at their own pace and ability level which provides them with the opportunity to challenge themselves.
  • Students can create a project using any of the Eight Multiple Intelligences.  Below are some suggestions for projects. "Students could meet standards at their own pace, in their own way and learning could be differentiated and aligned to each child’s talents, passions, interests, and abilities"
  • Having students create and share these projects will allow for the deepest understanding of the content.
  • Students will no longer have to "memorize" or try to "remember" the information ... because they will have learned it.  
  • teacher is letting go of control by allowing the students to take ownership of their learning.

shared by Kim McCoy-Parker on 08 May 13 - No Cached
  • The Common Core standards don’t just suggest novel technology use as a way to “engage students,” but rather requires learners to make complex decisions about how, when, and why to use technology–something educators must do as well.
  • With the Common Core, such use is now a matter of law.

Starting With Why: The Power of Student-Driven Learning - 0 views

  • She would thrive after being asked: “What do you want to learn?” “What do you want to read?” “What matters to you?” And then taking her answers and the curricular outcomes and designing a learning plan that incorporated all of this, plus embedded technology.
  • So often in education we focus on the wrong things. Test scores. Marks. Awards.
  • We need to start with why
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • it’s what you do with the content that matters.
  • Memorizing & regurgitating falls miserably short of equipping our students.
  • We’ve made education about manipulation and hoops instead of inspiring our students to pursue learning that matters to them — learning that can help them make a difference in our communities and the world.
  • I believe students are fully competent to be co-creators of their own learning environments. I believe that students can change the world; they are not the future; they are right now. I believe that students need skills that go far beyond the content of most curricula. I believe that students want to learn, but often they lack the environment that sparks the emergence of passionate, life-long learners. I believe that my students have a voice and it should be heard. I believe students can read at their appropriate grade level and still be illiterate. I believe that each of my students has unique talents and interests that should merge with our learning environment at school. I believe my students are not empty vessels waiting to be filled.
  • I believe that my students need to develop metacognitive skills and make their thinking visible. I believe that students are fully capable of differentiating their own learning. I believe my students are creative and can teach me important things. I believe school shouldn’t be a place where young people go to watch older people work hard. I believe, if given the chance and the right support, my students will become more than they ever thought they could be. I believe that once students begin to see their talents and gifts, they will grow in confidence.
  • As a teacher: I believe that my classroom should be a place of joy, engagement, learning and play. I believe that I should be less helpful. I believe that I should ask more questions, and offer fewer answers. I believe that I should model what learning, failing, grit & perseverance look like. I believe that I should take risks, even when I’m afraid. I believe it’s crucial to use content to teach skills. I believe that the most important question I often ask my students is, “What do you need?” I believe that I am not the all-knowing guru, nor do I want to be. I believe I need to be transparent with my learning and who I am. I believe that kids need a life outside of school, so I don’t believe in homework — at least not the rote, meaningless stuff that’s usually assigned.

      Satisficing~ that also sounds like me!  I need to work on making the most of my college experience!
  • The ability to find, use, and communicate information effectively and ethically is commonly known as information literacy
  • Students should develop information literacy as a "habit of mind" that enables them to be sophisticated information finders and users by the time they reach college and then the working world.

  • Information literacy is essential for lifelong learning and empowers individuals and societies
  • College students think of information seeking as a rote process and tend to use the same small set of information resources no matter their question.
  • although they begin the research process engaged and curious, they become frustrated and overwhelmed as it progresses.
  • "satisficing" — finding just enough information that is "good enough" to complete course assignments. They miss opportunities that college education provides for exploration, discovery, and deep learning.
  • The results of the study suggest that many college students view their educational experience as one of "satisficing" — finding just enough information that is "good enough" to complete course assignments. They miss opportunities that college education provides for exploration, discovery, and deep learning.

      The attractiveness would be great for visual learners!
  • Think of Pinterest as an online bulletin board.
  • Boards can have any theme. Some common boards that educators on Pinterst have are “Back to School Ideas,” “Classroom Decoration Ideas,” and “Craft Time Activities.”

      I think the best way to use Pinterest is to get your own ideas, and then share them with other teachers.
