    "A couple of weeks ago I had an interesting meeting with about 25 instructional designers from UBC, where we discussed design models for hybrid learning, defined as a deliberate attempt to combine the best of both face-to-face and online learning. "

What It Takes to Become an All Project-Based School | MindShift - 0 views

  •  
    "In many schools, project-based learning happens in isolated cases: in certain teachers' classrooms here and there, or in the contexts of specific subjects. But for students to benefit from project-based learning, ideally it's part of a school's infrastructure - a way to approach learning holistically. For one quickly growing network of schools, project-based learning is the crux of the entire ecosystem. New Tech Network, which was founded 15 years ago, is taking its school-wide project-based model to national scale. The organization, which offers a paid program for schools to use its model, began with a flagship school in Napa and has grown to 120 schools in 18 states, most of which are public schools."

Austin's Butterfly: Building Excellence in Student Work - Models, Critique, and Descrip... - 0 views

    "Ron Berger from Expeditionary Learning demostrates the transformational power of models, critique, and descriptive feedback to improve student work. Here he tells the story of Austin's Butterfly. 1st grade students at ANSER Charter School in Boise, ID, helped Austin take a scientific illustration of a butterfly through multiple drafts toward a high-quality final product."

Diving Into Project-based Learning: Our Inquiry |Philip Cummings - 0 views

  •  
    "I decided to use the teacher console on Diigo to create groups for each of my classes. I used handouts and tips from Bill Ferriter's Digitally Speaking Wiki to get everything set up and explain to the student how I wanted them to find, annotate, and share resources and information. (I highly recommend Bill's resources. They saved me a ton of time.) The students had used Diigo for research on a project during a previous school year so I thought with Bill's handouts and the boys' previous experience we were in good shape to begin. I soon learned differently. We have a 1:1 laptop classroom and the boys have a natural tendency to head straight to Google any time they have a question, but it was obvious after the first day that they weren't finding the quality resources they needed. Additionally, some boys still didn't know (or forgot) how to share to a group while others didn't know how to write a quality annotation. I had assumed too much. They needed what Mike Kaechele calls a "teacher workshop" on searching for information and on how to use Diigo. They needed me to model what they should do."

      Is this a misnomer?  Is there a significant difference between "four learning models" and "four types of learning" ?

      Here, we finally get to the point suggested in the title.  Is this an organizational problem?

      From a learning perspective, what if we started with the image.  What do you see?  What does this image reveal?  What is the assertion being made?  What evidence supports the assertion?
  • it’s not because of a decreased attention span—it’s because they aren’t given tasks that honor their dominant ways of learning.

      In the neurodevelopmental framework, we call this Satisfaction Level, a function of attention. What is your reaction to the language here - the change to "dominant ways of learning"? 
    • Chris English
       
      In my work, I look at how the affordances of new technology are subsumed into old practices.  Collaborative digital technologies can radically transform pedagogy if we allow ourselves to shed traditional practices.

Classes should do hands-on exercises before reading and video, Stanford researchers say - 0 views

  •  
    "A new study from the Stanford Graduate School of Education flips upside down the notion that students learn best by first independently reading texts or watching online videos before coming to class to engage in hands-on projects. Studying a particular lesson, the Stanford researchers showed that when the order was reversed, students' performances improved substantially."
