What's so important about asking students questions while teaching, and why is it so hard for teachers to do this consistently? What are some of the most time-efficient ways to check all students' understanding, and what's at stake when we fail to formatively assess students? Via Peter Mellow

From content consumption to content creation, there are many ways to use mobile devices with students. They can create how-to videos for authentic audiences, explain their thinking through screencasting, or use scannable technology in the math classroom, for example. Mobile devices can also be used to help students practice foundational math skills and build their math fluency. You might decide to use an app on this list as part of an intervention plan or add it to a newsletter for families. Via John Evans

 Understanding - WikipediaUnderstanding is often, though not always, related to learning concepts, and sometimes also the theory or theories associated with those concepts. However, a person may have a good ability to predict the behaviour of an object, animal or system - and therefore may, in some sense, understand it - without necessarily being familiar with the concepts or theories associated with that object, animal or system in their culture. Someone who has a more sophisticated understanding, more predictively accurate understanding, and/or an understanding that allows them to make explanations that others commonly judge to be better, of something, is said to understand that thing "deeply".
Conversely, someone who has a more limited understanding of a thing is said to have a "shallow" understanding. However, the depth of understanding required to usefully participate in an occupation or activity may vary greatly.

Through alternative formative assessment, teachers can check for student understanding without falling back on the tedious or intimidating pop quiz. Via Gust MEES

Check out this infographic from Mia MacMeekin that looks at verbs that help us meet the six levels of Bloom's taxonomy. This would be a great infographic to print out and put up in your classroom! |

Researchers have identified a brain signal that indicates whether a person is comprehending what others are saying. The researchers have shown that they can track the signal using relatively inexpensive EEG (electroencephalography) readings taken on a person’s scalp. Via Wildcat2030, Miloš Bajčetić

I was recently team-teaching and my colleague was speaking to our students about how they should use the Module Learning Outcomes and Pass Descriptors to inform their work and used the phrase “allowing you to experience success”. There was a slight buzz of conversation in the room and I overheard a few students muttering ‘I didn’t know they could do that’ and (bearing in mind these are trainee teachers) ‘have you ever done that with your learners?’.

By teaching students these skills in an authentic, applicable way, will they see each other differently? It’s worth finding out. With so many curricular and time restraints on teachers, how can we be expected to explicitly teach empathy in a meaningful way?

You assign students a research project. Many students go to Google, type in a question (without giving much thought), and often become overwhelmed with the amount of information available. Is this a familiar scene? Think back and make one change, instead of using Google have them use a database? Is that a significant shift? This post provides a series of steps, taking you through a number of ways you might proceed with a research project and adding in complexity. Scheer begins by explaining a common research project and moves on through a number of areas: * What is understanding? * Understanding Searching with Technology * Stages of Research * Putting This All Together * Conclusion Do you have your students do research projects? Do you find that you are not satisfied with the quality of work being done? This post provides an excellent foundation to help you revamp your process and provide your students with skills that they will use not only in the classroom but also in the future, in both their personal and professional endeavors.

Re-framing the stages of research to help students manage the volume of information on databases and the internet. PLAN – Identify what the problem is and the questions that you are going to ask. STRATEGIZE – The route that you are going to take to search the web for information about your questions. EVALUATE – The sources of data that you are using for credibility, accuracy and currentness. TRIANGULATE – Compare your sources of data against one other. |
