En flippad resa! Om lite drygt en vecka har jag blivit inbjuden till Ronneby och fått äran att delta i LITS2014. LITS står för Learning Is The Shit – och jag menar, vem kan motstå ett tillfälle att mötas under den banderollen? Jag kommer delta med två olika bidrag, dels en workshop där deltagarna kommer få kika in i Mitt Flippade Klassrum och testa på hur det kan vara att vara elev hos Fröken Flipp :) Jag vill inte avslöja för mycket, men det kommer handla om förmågor, kollaborativt lärande, språkutveckling och en hel del värdegrund och tankeflippar :) Förutom denna workshop har jag även blivit tillfrågad om jag kan berätta om min flippade resa. I november 2011 skrev Göran Svanelid artikeln ”Lägg krutet på The Big 5 istället” i Pedagogiska Magasinet. Aha- upplevelse nr. 1. Under vårterminen 2012 så introducerade vi Big 5 tänket i SO-ämnena och hela tiden arbetade SO-gruppen tätt ihop. Men ett annat frö såddes hos mig. Där kom Aha-upplevelse nr 3! Och mina elever är de modigaste jag vet!

It's how humans learn both explicit material (facts, dates, formulas, methods) and implicit material (critical thinking, attitudes, judgement). Instructor-ledComputer-based Instructor-Led Instructor-led teaching does not always have to be in a formal classroom setting. The benefits of an instructor-led teaching is that it is very interactive. The downside of instructor led teaching is that the effectiveness of this medium depends totally on the instructor.

Hur kan man synliggöra förmågorna? | TheBig6 | #visombärenförmåga Ja, den frågan möter jag ofta. Samma fråga från pedagoger i förskoleklass, ämneslärare i matematik och slöjd, klasslärare och fritidspersonal. Jag har arbetat med att synliggöra förmågorna i skolan på ett medvetet sätt i ett år nu. Kanske många lärare vill ”få med allt”? Kompletta LPPer och matriser? Den här sammanställningen ”The Big 5” har fått oss att tala om förmågorna i skolan, oavsett pedagogisk roll. För ganska exakt ett år sedan fick jag en idé som jag testade på mina egna barn. Det här var på höstlovet 2012. Att synliggöra veckans förmåga handlar om att ge eleverna ett språk – ett gemensamt språk. Redan andra veckan kände jag att det var något som saknades i sammanställningen ”The Big 5”. Jag vill att alla elever ska känna sig delaktiga i skolan och känna att de har möjlighet att göra sitt bästa. Men, hur synliggör man förmågorna då? Jag tror att man ska börja redan i förskoleklass. Jag har många gånger liknat förmågorna vid ett tåg ”Ett tåg lastat med förmågor…”. /Lotta
How Fourth Graders Are Achieving World Peace In 1978, John Hunter introduced a complex, immersive, interactive, collaborative, geopolitical game to his elementary school students. In 2011, he gained a global following when he delivered a TED talk about his 30-year experience of "Teaching with the World Peace Game." The talk was shared far and wide as millions were moved by his example of hands-on teaching. And millions began thinking about how to bring out the best in every child through an aspiration for something greater than even the most powerful on earth have yet to achieve -- peace. When I met John Hunter and experienced his humility, warmth and thoughtfulness, I caught a glimpse behind the effectiveness and sincerity driving his work. The Journey Leading to the Game Hunter grew up in the segregated South, instilled with a foundation in nonviolent social change. Many of his questions had no clear answers. Rules of Engagement The World Peace Game has two primary goals: Stages of Learning: A Sevenfold Path My Take-Aways & Caveats
Why college students stop short of a degree Ullis skolsida Good Time: 4 Ways to Reawaken Student Engagement Photo credit: iStockphoto Students want to be engaged in class. They really do -- but sometimes other things get in the way of their natural instincts. Shuffle Seats I did the seat shuffle because class conversation had become stale, and students just seemed to be there but not actually there. Student Takeover Once in a while, it can be fun to let the students take over a lesson or two in a unit. Open Projects Open projects have been very successful in my class. Have Fun Sometimes teachers forget to bring the fun to the classroom. The students had so much fun making these videos, and they were able to share them with their friends and family and fight for bragging rights. There is never one answer to solve student engagement issues.
4 Steps to Better Writers Clarity. It is what we long for when we travel through a student's essay. Yet our struggling writers make us wander through a cluttered maze of thoughts, leading to dead ends. We want an awareness of purpose. A few years ago I had a Steve Jobs infatuation. Only when you consider where we were can you appreciate this accomplishment. It got me thinking about a theory of four. I came up with POET, a simple and effective pre-writing strategy for your students. P = Purpose Every strong essay had an unwavering commitment to the purpose. O = Organization The best essays have a system of organization. Chronologically: from the beginning of the piece to the end.Cause and effect: showing the techniques an author used and the effects they created.General to specific: look broadly through a telescope, then focus under a microscope, noticing the small details contributing to the big picture.Compare and contrast: start with what unites works and move to appreciating differences between them. E = Evidence
