An iPad Workflow for the Classroom Using Google Drive & Pages, Keynote or Numbers
The Google Drive iPad app is not yet all that we might want it to be, but it is definitely moving in the right direction. A recent update included the ability to create and edit spreadsheets, but it also added something equally useful – the ability to upload files from other apps to Google Drive via the “Open in” function. This creates some useful workflow options for teachers who want to assign, receive and grade student work on the iPad. Here’s how it could work. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Easy, right? How could teacher quickly collect all the Google accounts of the students in their class? For more info on a Google Drive iPad Workflow, see The Paperless iPad Classroom with the Google Drive app which goes into the concept in more detail and offers more options.

Synligt lärande
Den nyzeeländske utbildningsforskaren John Hatties forskningsöversikt Visible Learning omfattar 800 metastudier av andra forskare och totalt ingår över 50 000 enskilda studier med över 80 miljoner elever i det underlag som ligger till grund för hans forskning om vad som påverkar elevers studieresultat. Enligt Hattie uppnås de effektivaste läreffekterna genom formativ bedömning, med en läreffekt på 0,9 vilket ger ett mycket effektivt lärande. Klicka på länken för att se en översiktlig presentation av Hatties forskning i form av ett filmklipp – Synligt lärande i Svedala (5:13). Det handlar inte bara om att lära sig. HUR man lär sig blir avgörande för VAD man lär sig.

Use a Google Form to gather the children’s responses to different parts of any type of linear narrative, written or visual. 3 ) Spelling test Steve Kirkpatrick had this brainwave a while back so check out his excellent post for more information about setting up the spreadsheet. 4 ) Comprehension questions

Undervisning inte skolans huvuduppgift menar forskare
Hattie framhåller vikten av att analysera effekterna av lärarens egen undervisning och att skapa ett tillitsfullt lärandeklimat. Läraren måste också ha en klar bild av vad eleven ska lära sig under en lektion och veta hur väl varje elev har lyckats med att uppnå målen, så kallade framgångskriterier. För att kunna skapa en brygga mellan elevers förkunskaper och de förväntade lärandemål som står i undervisningens fokus måste läraren känna till elevers förkunskaper. Läraren måste också ha kännedom om elevers lärandeförmågor, kognition, motivation, språkfärdigheter, erfarenheter osv. Synliggjorda lärandemål underlättar måluppfyllelse Ju mer eleverna kan om lärandemålen och vägen till framgång desto mer kommer de att engagera sig i skolan, understryker Hattie. Att nå personligt satta mål ökar självförtroendet Att få eleverna att sätta upp personliga mål är enligt Hattie en svår uppgift. Relationell tilltro möjliggör elevers inre motivation Dialog, inte monolog Text: Vanja Lozic
