When I first started teaching about six years ago, one of the biggest mistakes I made was believing that reading comprehension did not consist of much more than reading texts and then answering follow-up questions.
Then, everything changed when I read Mosaic of Thought by Ellin Oliver Keene and Susan Zimmermann, followed by Strategies That Work by Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis. Now, all of my reading comprehension instruction is encompassed by the essential question, “How can I understand while I am reading?” In other words, it is what great readers do while they are reading that makes them great. This teaching relies heavily on student metacognition and the explicit strategies of monitoring comprehension, activating and connecting to background knowledge, questioning, visualizing, inferring, determining importance in text, and summarizing and synthesizing information.
The question that drove the lesson was, “Why are inferring and visualizing BFFS?” The Degree Qualifications Profile - The_Degree_Qualifications_Profile.pdf. 7 Apps for Teaching Children Coding Skills. It's hard to imagine a single career that doesn't have a need for someone who can code.
Everything that "just works" has some type of code that makes it run. Coding (a.k.a. programming) is all around us. That's why all the cool kids are coding . . . or should be. Programming is not just the province of pale twenty-somethings in skinny jeans, hunched over three monitors, swigging Red Bull. Not any more! If you're concerned that that a) elementary school students don't have the ability to code, b) there's no room in the curriculum, and c) you don't possess coding chops to teach programming skills, throw out those worries.
In no particular order, we have listed all the coding apps that are appropriate for young learners. GameStar Mechanic Platform: WebCost: $2 per student GameStar Mechanic teaches kids, ages 7-14, to design their own video games. Scratch.

Creativity – the challenge of defining, developing and assessing it. Apr 11 Thanks to Education Week‘s blog for drawing my attention to this work on Creativity.
Creativity is defined as one of the four 4Cs of Learning and Innovation in 21st Century learning. This OECD Creativity working paper is an interesting start in working out how we can define, develop and assess this wide ranging ‘skill’ we call Creativity. Don't Miss This Awesome Bloom's Taxonomy Wheel. I will be virtually presenting next Friday in MORCE.net conference.
My presentation will be on Blooms' Digital Taxonomy. This is one of the major topics of Educational Technology and Mobile Learning which I have profusely written on in previous posts. There is also a separate section in this blog devoted solely to articles and resources on everything teachers need to know about Blooms Taxonomy. Of course my focus is on the digital component of this taxonomy and hence the label Blooms Digital Taxonomy.
Compared to the traditional version of Bloom's Taxonomy, vigorous research regarding the use and implementation of Digital Bloom's Taxonomy is still lacking. However, that being said, I am sharing with you today an awesome graphic on Bloom's Taxonomy Question and Task Design Wheel.I find it really useful and thought you might like to have a look.
