What did we do in class today?
I can't imagine having a school that doesn't have teachers. I have never thought that is where education would turn too. Years ago we would say that it was impossible, now anything is impossible apparently! I guess as long as the students are learning, and becoming educated in their area of expertise then I guess there is nothing wrong with that. In the end its all about the students and to make sure that those students learn what they are supposed too. Its funny to see a "one room schoolhouse" I feel like education is going back in time with an updated technology aspect.
Presentation:
Good:
Selected who was going to respond.
Relationship of the main themes
Venn diagram; looking at the interactions between everything, was a great idea, it allowed us to see all aspects of the strategies.
Student creating content is much more powerful than teacher creating content.
Bad:
Recording venn
Give directions before students break into groups. ; I know I like to socialize, and if I don't have specific directions beforehand, then yeah, I will talk to my group members, especially if I know them really well. Good tip!
Group sizes need to be taken into account. Things might not be as productive in larger groups than if you break them up into smaller groups.
Use diffferent colors.
When summarizing; students have to come up wtih 5 words or less.
Scratch:
Randomize the problems, score.
Do I know what to do when I use your problem? Students may not know what to do, give specific and clear directions.
Text on screen should be visible for the time it takes you to read through it twice. *****RULE of Thumb!
