NZ Interface Magazine | Eight habits of highly effective 21st ce We hear a lot about the 21st century learner – but what about the 21st century teacher? Andrew Churches investigates what makes them succeed. What are the characteristics we would expect to see in a successful 21st century educator? Well, we know they are student-centric, holistic, and they’re teaching about how to learn as much as teaching about the subject area. We know, too, that they must be 21st century learners as well. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".

A growing number of schools across the world are jumping on the digital bus and embracing iPads (less often, other tablet products) as the latest tool to teach literature in multimedia, history through games and simulations, and math with step-by-step animation of problems. Not surprisingly, student scores improve when they use iPads and their interest in school soars. I say not surprisingly because students love digital toys and in my experience work harder and longer if given the opportunity to do so with any of the digital offerings (ipods, laptops included). In my school, we have been rotating one set of Pads this year through K-8. Drawing AirSketch Free–Turn your iPad into a wireless whiteboard!

Apps in Education Home Page August 7, 2012 To all my educator colleagues: As you all know, I retired in June of 2011 from my school district job as Director of Technology. I retired to spend more time learning new things to support you as you embed technology into teaching and learning in a meaningful way. I now have the time to visit districts and help with their technology-related initiatives, teach online graduate courses for the Wilkes/Discovery Masters program, and host several webinar series. Also, with this retirement, I have had the time to develop and enhance some online information sources for you. Since I started the Schrockguide in June of 1995, a lot has changed. However, I am not retired from providing you with great resources and ideas to support teaching and learning! I have moved all the support information for my presentations over to Kathy Schrock's Guide to Everything, located here, to help you as you think about the practical and pedagogical uses of technology.

Blog | Schoology I recently had the pleasure of joining Robert (Bob) Schuetz and Chris Aviles in an ongoing conversation about, what else, learning. Bob is a veteran educator of 25 years who is nothing short of a philosophical mastermind. Chris brings eight years of experience and a ton of innovative ideas to the table. Needless to say, their total sense of wonder and passion for learning inspired me greatly. That's why we decided to put our conversation into a blog with the hopes that it ... On April 7, 2014, a vulnerability with the OpenSSL library, a data encryption protocol used by many web servers across the internet, was discovered and published. Schoology NEXT 2014 is getting closer, and it’s already shaping up to be an incredible event. Mobile technologies have condensed our whole digital world into a pocket-sized gadget that was science fiction a few decades ago. Some people love jigsaw puzzles.

myreads Engagement motivates students to read and enables new learning to take place by: Empowering teachers with effective strategies Engaging students in purposeful social practices Empowering teachers with effective strategies The conditions for successful teaching and learning are complex and involve many interwoven issues. The Guides will be most effective in engaging underperforming students when teachers are familiar with the various sections within the resource and use texts that work for their own particular student community. Engaging students in purposeful social practices Each of the Guides uses a specific text so that teachers can familiarise themselves with the strategy and contextualise the strategy given their knowledge of their own particular student community. Although ‘purposeful social practices’ is often taken to involve multiple and varied texts for community projects involving ‘real’ audiences, this resource has used specific texts to demonstrate strategies.
