Some faculty at UIS have adopted a three-point grading rubric for students that is easy for students to master and easy for instructors to grade. Up to 1 point for original thought / contribution (perspective not previously posted) Up to 1 point for development of thought ( full explanation, detail, insight; this usually requires a couple of paragraphs or more to accomplish ) Up to 1 point for responding to posting of others "

This is a link Professor Schroeder sent out in a discussion. I'm excited with these ideas.

Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894 - November 8, 1978) was an American illustrator and painter of the 20th-century. His works are famous. Great to discuss his paintings but to discuss details and historical moment. Then, can you tell the story just from the picture

This article discusses the author's lessons he's learned after creating over 100 flipped classroom lesson videos. He begins by stating not to focus on the video, "Teachers need to think like architects, not video producers." Also, pay attention to data, and he doesn't mean "Views" on YouTube. He incorporated Educanon into the videos to ask questions throughout student viewing.

This discusses the differences and misconceptions that people have regarding tradition versus online education. As pointed out, online was never meant to replace traditional. Rather, we should focus on the benefits of each education style. The author concludes, " All modalities serve a specific student population and purpose. The question should not be which is better, but which is more functional for each individual student."

Article discusses teaching coding to students even without a computer.

I would use this site to work with the math and science teachers. For this bookmark, I am focusing on math because I find this group to be the hardest to get to work with the library. I would meet with the teachers, discuss concepts they are teaching and then show them this array of simulations they can assign students for any of the following reasons: *Formative Assessment *Further practice on a concept a student is struggling with mastering *A learning extension for accelerated learners - this could be a part of a personalized learning path.

We all discuss plagiarism with our students, even at the youngest levels. Although this is meant for older audiences (MS & early HS), this interactive tutorial is a great, quick way to review some of the most important elements when avoiding plagiarism. It can be done together as a class or used as an independent self check.

This source provides information on avoiding plagiarism. Provides definition of plagiarism, example, interactive of basic tips and a quiz. There is also information on creative commons and public domain. I could see using the examples provided for small group discussions. I see myself using a lot of the information on copyright as it is easy to read and lays out the format that will be easy for the students to understand. These examples are under a big umbrella of information called "Using Information Correctly." There are 3 big ideas under this which include Avoiding Plagiarism, Putting Info Together and Copyright and Fair Use.

This is a podcast series that would be appropriate for our 8th graders doing NHD research. Each of these podcasts could be assigned as homework a couple of nights before these topics are covered in class so that students come into class with a basic understanding of the content to be covered that day. I guess it would be a little bit like "flipping" the class for that day. The teacher could have a quick discussion about detecting bias in primary sources based on the information from the podcast and then the rest of the class could be freed up for students to actually rotate through primary sources and practice detecting bias.

This is a great lesson to use with elementary students to analyze text and meet Common Core standards. I liked that this lesson also uses Amelia Bedelia because you can then also discuss language and meaning and how her chores are always funny since she is literally doing what she hears.
