The A-Z Dictionary of Educational Twitter Hashtags Whether you’re a new or seasoned Twitter user, you likely come across confusing hashtags that probably look like a bunch of nonsense. First, What’s A Hashtag? The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keyword or topic in a Tweet. Any Twitter user can categorize or follow topics with hashtags.Those hashtags (usually) mean something and are a great way to get a tweet to appear in search results or discussion monitoring. For example, the popular #edchat hashtag is used by thousands of users every Tuesday. It makes it easy (sort of) for people to monitor what’s happening in the conversation rather than having to try and guess what topics you should search for. How To Hide Your Hashtag Chat From Followers When having a Twitter #hashtag chat, if you want to avoid overwhelming your followers, start any tweet you want to “hide” with @HideChat or (one character shorter) @HideTag . You don’t need to do this with all your chat tweets (though you could). Sources The Most Popular Hashtags
Quick fix till språkutvecklande undervisning Nä, någon quick fix finns tyvärr inte men för oss som gillar checklistor så har Pauline Gibbons skrivit några bra checklistor som jag tänkte visa er. Checklistorna kommer från hennes böcker Stärk språket stärk lärandet och Lyft språket lyft tänkandet. Jag fick en fråga från Sara Bruun om hur man kan arbeta mer språkutvecklande inom engelskundervisningen och då kom jag och tänka på Pauline Gibbons checklistor. Den ena handlar om att i undervisningen få variation och balans mellan att tala, lyssna, läsa och skriva och den andra handlar om fem steg att öka språkmedvetenheten i ämnesundervisningen. Den sista jag tänkte visa er handlar om fem steg för planering av ett språk- och kunskapsutvecklande arbetsområde. Skolverket har också tagit fram en checklista som kan vara användbar: Checklista för språk- och kunskapsutvecklande undervisning.

What To Do When A Student Refuses To Go To Time-Out When a student refuses to go to time-out, he (or she) often has a good reason. This doesn’t mean he isn’t responsible for making such a decision. He is—completely and fully. For it’s never okay to defy a teacher’s direction. But in his mind he feels like he must take a stand. In other words, there is something about the situation or incident that doesn’t sit right with him. So before answering what to do, it’s important we unpack why a student would refuse to go to time-out. You see, difficult students in particular have an acute sense of fairness. In fact, defiant behavior would be expected in such a classroom. What follows are four reasons why a student would refuse to go to time-out. 1. If a student breaks a classroom rule, but doesn’t believe he did anything wrong, then there is a good chance he’ll become defiant. 2. If ever you let misbehavior go without a consequence, you’re asking for trouble. And so when you send them to time-out, it’s only natural to get resistance. 3. 4.
Sociokulturellt perspektiv April 2014 Hemsidan för Alla ombord! - det salutogena museet har upphört Alla ombord! - det salutogena museet var ett samarbete mellan Statens maritima museer/Vasamuseet, Rörelsehindrade barn och ungdomar (RBU) i Stockholms län, Rädda Barnen, Astrid Lindgrens Barnsjukhus vid Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, HANDISAM och Specialpedagogiska skolmyndigheten. Projektet genomfördes med stöd av Allmänna arvsfonden. Målet var att alla barn och unga med olika funktionsmöjligheter ska kunna tillgodogöra sig, uppleva och aktivt delta i den museipedagogiska verksamheten på jämställda och värdiga villkor. Projektfasen pågick mellan 2007-2010 och bygger på konceptet ”En filosofi för tillgänglighet”. Resultaten är nu en del av Vasamuseets ordinarie pedagogiska verksamhet och i Lekterapin och rehabiliterings verksamheten, vid Astrid Lindgrens barnsjukhus. Eventuella frågor om Projektets resultat, Medverkande, Arbetsprocess och Föreläsningar etc. carina.ostenfeldt@gmail.com PROJEKTETS UTMÄRKELSER!
Steve Pinker's hair and the muscles of worms : Pharyngula I’ve been guilty of teaching bean-bag genetics this semester. Bean-bag genetics treats individuals as a bag of irrelevant shape containing a collection of alleles (the “beans”) that are sorted and disseminated by the rules of Mendel, and at its worst, assigns one trait to one allele; it’s highly unrealistic. In my defense, it was necessary — first-year students struggle enough with the basic logic of elementary transmission genetics without adding great complications — and of course, in some contexts, such as population genetics, it is a useful simplification. It’s just anathema to anyone more interested in the physiological and developmental side of genetics. The heart of the problem is that it ignores the issue of translating genotype into phenotype. And the “one gene, one trait” model violates everything we do know about the phenotype and genotype. Here’s the problem: you can’t always reliably predict the phenotype from the genotype. How can this be? See the big red question mark?
