11 Steps Of Effective Project-Based Learning In A Blended Classroom -

11 Steps Of Effective Project-Based Learning In A Blended Classroom -
In part 1 of this 6-part series, Thomas Stanley looked at an overview of blended learning, specifically the critical interactions of a blended learning model. In part 2, he looked specifically at student-to-student interaction, and the reality of synchronous and asynchronous access. In part 3, he looked at student-to-teacher interactions, and moving from instruction to becoming the “guide on the side,” and in part 4 he explored the idea of student-to-community interactions. Below in part 5, Stanley examines Student-to-material interactions as part of the blended learning model, specifically the process of project-based learning in a blended classroom. Student-to-Material Interaction: Effective PBL Learning in the Online or Blended Classroom What is the most effective way to get students to grapple with the subject matter? The projects should be designed to meet state and local standards. Implementing The Project-Based Learning Approach Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8

How 21st Century Thinking Is Different How 21st Century Thinking Is Just Different by Terry Heick This content is proudly sponsored by The Institute for the Habits of Mind, promoting the development of personal thinking habits in 21st century learners. In an era dominated by constant information and the desire to be social, should the tone of thinking for students be different? After all, this is the world of Google. As a result, the tone of thinking can end up uncertain or whimsical, timid or arrogant, sycophant or idolizing–and so, devoid of connections and interdependence. The nature of social media rests on identity as much as anything else—forcing subjectivity on everything through likes, retweets, shares, and pins. But this takes new habits. Information Abundance There is more information available to any student with a smartphone than an entire empire would have had access to three thousand years ago. New contexts—digital environments that function as humanity-in-your-pocket—demand new approaches and new habits. Persisting.

Faire ses premiers pas vers la classe inversée Un dossier conjoint Infobourg – Carrefour Éducation Peut-être avez-vous entendu parler dernièrement de la fameuse dynamique de « classe inversée »? Elle semble être sur toutes les lèvres! Parmi les enseignants qui l’ont expérimentée, certains ne peuvent plus s’en passer et y voient des avantages énormes, notamment grâce aux nouvelles possibilités de personnalisation de l’enseignement entraînée par l’augmentation du temps disponible pour les élèves. Mais tout d’abord, qu’est-ce que la classe inversée? Présentement, au primaire et au secondaire, on voit certains cas d’application du modèle « mixte », un contexte dans lequel une partie de l’année se déroule de façon « inversée » et, l’autre, de façon traditionnelle. Ce dossier conjoint de Carrefour Éducation et d’Infobourg propose de faire le tour de la question et de prendre connaissance de l’expérience de certains enseignants. Plan du dossier : 1. 2. 3. 4.

11 Essential Tools For Better Project-Based Learning by Katre Laan from myhistro.com The rise of technology used in classrooms has made learning much more interactive. The emergence of iPads to browser-based tools in project-based learning, take teaching to a new level in the 21st century. Even the current trends in education include the use of new technology, from collaborative projects to blending traditional textbook teaching with innovative tools. For students, the core aim of project-based learning is to put theory into practice and gain new skills throughout the process. A major advantage of digital tools used is better engagement in the classroom. Browser-based tools and several apps used in education are especially useful for researching, storytelling and collaborative video making. Handy mobile devices allow students to be inspired when outside classroom by creating and sharing ideas and creations instantly. Here is a mini guide to some of the project based learning tools. 1) Mindmeister 2) Glogster 3) Myhistro 4) Pixton 5) Animoto

Fabriquer des fiches de lecture grâce aux cartes heuristiques. La carte heuristique permet d’organiser de manière logique une démarche alliant la recherche et la réflexion personnelle. On peut en effet demander plusieurs choses dans un compte rendu de lecture : • Des éléments concernant le texte et son appréciation directe par les élèves. • Des éléments de paratexte concernant l’auteur, la genèse de l’oeuvre, sa réception etc... Lorsque l’on demande aux élèves de préparer une présentation orale du livre, ils vont avoir tendance à rédiger l’intégralité de leur intervention orale, souvent de manière peu organisée. Il est très difficile de faire abandonner aux élèves cette habitude qui certes les rassure mais les handicape surtout en les enchaînant à une lecture souvent maladroite de leurs notes. La carte heuristique, si elle est utilisée comme document unique et projetée au tableau demande à l’élève de fabriquer son discours au fur et à mesure de sa progression avec pour seule aide sa mémoire et les éléments présents dans la carte.

Where Essential Questions Come From Where Essential Questions Come From by Grant Wiggins, Ph.D, Authentic Education “I didn’t know they could think!” an excited high school principal blurted out. The principal was reacting to what he had just witnessed: his 9th grade students engaging in their first-ever Socratic Seminar, facilitated by my colleague and wife Denise a few years ago in a Louisiana district. While it is easy to have a laugh or wince at the Principal’s remarks, I think we all too easily forget how often we have all said such things. We sometimes go further and speak cynically (if elliptically): “You know, he just doesn’t have much going on upstairs,” we say to a colleague who knowingly nods. I was reminded of all this while in a 5th-grade ELA class recently. In pondering the scene, I became increasingly sobered by just how challenging the exercise really is. Kylene Beers, in When Kids Can’t Read What Teachers Can Do, describes this teacher puzzlement (and initial frustration) perfectly: “Teach them what?” Oh.

« Windows 8 n'est pas meilleur que Windows Vista » Jun Dong-soo, président de la division des puces mémoires de Samsung, s’est exclamé dans un entretien au Korea Times que « Windows 8 n’est pas meilleur que la dernière plateforme Windows Vista », selon la traduction de BGR. La déclaration est intéressante, car il est rare de voir un tel commentaire sortir d’un haut dirigeant d’une société au service de communication aussi contrôlé que Samsung. Ce commentaire est aussi fascinant parce qu’il se fait l’écho d’autres remarques similaires en provenance de Fujitsu, Acer et Asus et qu’il arrive juste après la décision de Samsung de ne plus vendre de tablettes Windows RT. Le problème est-il réellement Windows 8 ? Même durant les déboires de Windows Vista, les partenaires de Microsoft sont restés relativement silencieux. La situation est aujourd’hui presque inversée. La frustration des OEM est de plus en plus bruyante M.

The Difference Between Projects And Project-Based Learning The Difference Between Projects And Project-Based Learning by TeachThought Staff Projects in the classroom are as old as the classroom itself. “Projects” can represent a range of tasks that can be done at home or in the classroom, by parents or groups of students, quickly or over time. The learning process is also personalized in a progressive PBL environment by students asking important questions, and making changes to products and ideas based on individual and collective response to those questions. By design, PBL is learner-centered. The chart below by Amy Mayer is helpful to clarify that important difference between projects and project-based learning. What’s the Difference Between “Doing Projects” and Project Based Learning ?

Une mémoire photonique quantique Des chercheurs de l’Université de la Californie Santa Barbara ont conçu une puce capable de manipuler un photon à l’aide de supraconducteurs, dans le but de créer une mémoire quantique. Les résultats sont publiés dans la revue Physics Review Letters. Manipulation de photons La puce offre un contrôle inégalé de la lumière, selon Yi Yin qui a travaillé sur le projet et qui est aujourd’hui professeur à l’Université de Zheijiang à Hangzhou. Les chercheurs ont pu concrètement emprisonner le photon et le stocker dans une cavité avant de le relâcher. Le mécanisme utilise un obturateur qui va piéger ou libérer le photon. C’est un pas important pour une puce mémoire quantique capable de stocker une particule quantique sans détruire son état.

23 Ways To Use The iPad In The 21st Century PBL Classroom By Workflow 23 Ways To Use The iPad In The 21st Century PBL Classroom by TeachThought Staff The iPad is not magic, and as many educators have found integrating them meaningfully is by no means a just-add-water proposition. The same applies to Project-Based Learning. Project-Based Learning is a method of giving learners access to curriculum in authentic ways that promote collaboration, design, imagination, and innovation while also allowing for more natural integration of digital and social media. Below we’ve offered 23 ways that the iPad can be used in your classroom. Note that the visual is also arranged in a kind of visual spectrum, as our past visuals have been.

BSA | The Software Alliance | Canada Climbs in Global Ranking of Cloud Computing Policies, BSA Study Finds First report to track changes in global cloud policy benchmarks finds Japan, Australia and US in the lead TORONTO, March 7, 2013 /CNW/ - In a first-ever analysis of the shifting international policy landscape for cloud computing, a new study ranks Canada nine out of 24 leading IT economies, a sign of improvement from its starting position of 12 a year earlier. BSA | The Software Alliance evaluated national laws and regulations in seven policy areas critical to the development of a globally integrated cloud marketplace. "It is encouraging that Canada has risen in the rankings by adopting policies that are conductive to cloud innovation — but there remains room for improvement," said BSA Senior Vice President, External Affairs Matt Reid. The Scorecard's biggest mover is fifth-ranked Singapore, which vaults up five places after adopting a new privacy law that builds user trust while also promoting business innovation. Specifically, BSA recommends policymakers take the following actions:

Teaching Culture Blind: Diversity In Professional Development Teaching Culture Blind: Diversity In Professional Development by Dawn Casey-Rowe, Social Studies Teacher & Learnist Evangelist Related Learnist Resource: Consider Diversity. It was one of my first experiences teaching. I overheard a conversation. “Miss?” I explained to my colleague that the student was being respectful. To the Caucasian teacher, however, omitting the last name was impolite. This is not a big deal for an American, but for Chinese, it has the potential to be highly offensive. Years ago, when I was working with Eastern European refugees, this line was even more blurred–people spotted each other over the testing chin-up bar because in their culture failure was simply not an option. My husband and I used to teach martial arts together. I motioned secretly that he should not say this, explaining later he was dealing with a male-dominant culture where a woman wouldn’t have the authority to provide such an official report on a man’s son.
