Les capsules de profs c’est bien… Les capsules d’élèves c’est mieux Cet article fait suite à celui-ci (d’où son titre). On voit fleurir de plus en plus de capsules vidéos d’enseignants (je m’inclus dans le lot) et c’est une très bonne chose ! Comme vous le savez sûrement, je regroupe d’ailleurs les miennes sur L’idée est vraiment chouette et nous vient de nos amis Canadiens. Pour ma part je propose des vidéos de révisions à mes élèves depuis un an (à ne pas confondre avec de la pédagogie inversée, je ne me positionne pas dans cette méthode) et ça marche plutôt bien. Je ne compte pas arrêter, néanmoins, j’ai l’impression d’avoir mis le doigt sur autre chose. La capsule du prof est ludique, visuelle, simple à comprendre, donc un plus pour l’élève mais, on en revient toujours à la même chose : les élèves auteurs, les apprentissages au travers de tâches complexes mais surtout concrètes ! Ils le font en groupe et discutent et argumentent sur leurs choix de présentation. Voici quelques capsules réalisées par les élèves. J'aime :
For Storytelling Projects, Cool New Multimedia Tools Paul Salopek and Ahmed Kabil Writing will always be important, but weaving text, images, sound, and presentation together can give students more and different ways to express themselves. Easy-to-use online tools allow students the opportunity to create multimedia projects that demonstrate knowledge and develop useful skills. Check out these new three tools on the scene. Launched less than a year ago, Meograph lets users create professional-looking multimedia presentations using video, audio, images, text, timelines, maps, and links. Users create Meograph “moments” by uploading photos, videos, text and add voice narration to accompany the visuals. First used by news outlets to tell stories using multimedia, Meograph is now being leveraged by teachers and students, too. The new licenses also provide more subtlety in the privacy of publishing. Here’s an example of a Meograph that students produced on the water cycle. Related
10 Strategies To Help Students Use Social Media For Critical Thinking - 10 Strategies To Help Students Use Social Media For Critical Thinking by Terry Heick Social media is here to stay. No matter how much we lament a loss of privacy, too much screen time, superficial identity, or countless other worries, media has been around since language was invented, and we have always sought to make that media as social as locally available technology would allow. From chisels and tablets to the printing press to radio and television to twitter and Facebook, as long as we continue to have thoughts and ideas, we will continue to seek to publish and socialize them with others. Technology & ‘Social Emotion’ It would make sense that as technology becomes more integrated, more accessible to all socioeconomic classes, and “smarter” itself, those connections will only deepen as we our priorities–and the tools we use to express them–change. Scientific American published an article discussing why being ‘connected’ matters. See also ‘Stop Worrying About Screen Time’ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

35 Digital Tools To Create Simple Quizzes And Collect Feedback From Students 35 Digital Tools To Create Simple Quizzes And Collect Feedback From Students by TeachThought Staff Ed note: This post has been updated from a 2013 post If there is one thing teachers lack, it’s time. And while using technology to automate learning has been frowned upon by many, using it to automate time-consuming processes or aggregate data automatically is among the many seamless fits technology can make into any classroom.

Welcome to mindmapping.com Fantastic, Fast Formative Assessment Tools “We’ve got this, it’s easy,” they said. “Can we move on?” I looked at the other students and asked, “Do you have this?” They nodded their heads furiously up and down in a yes. My teacher instincts said that everyone knew it, but I decided to experiment, so I wrote a problem on the board. I was floored. I taught for another few minutes and gave them another problem. But the end result was not what you think. I was sold on formative assessment. Good teachers in every subject will adjust their teaching based on what students know at each point. Formative Assessment Toolkit Learn the strengths and weaknesses of each tool. 1. The advantage of Socrative is that it gives me percentages that I can use as a grade if we’re ready for that.

Bloom's taxonomy Bloom's wheel, according to the Bloom's verbs and matching assessment types. The verbs are intended to be feasible and measurable. Bloom's taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. It is named for Benjamin Bloom, who chaired the committee of educators that devised the taxonomy, and who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: The Classification of Educational Goals. Bloom's taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). It divides educational objectives into three "domains": cognitive, affective, and psychomotor (sometimes loosely described as "knowing/head", "feeling/heart" and "doing/hands" respectively). Bloom's taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community. History[edit] The first volume of the taxonomy, "Handbook I: Cognitive" (Bloom et al. 1956) was published in 1956. Cognitive[edit]
