Blog Post #11 - What did I leave out?

The assignment for this blog post is to create an assignment for a blog post that Dr. Strange should have created in my area of middle school math.

Here is the blog post idea I created:

From this EDM class, the most emphasized topic was Project Based Learning. This is the learning of the future. What makes PBL more useful now is the increase in technology in the classroom, but unfortunately, not all classrooms are 1:1. Search for an example of a PBL (YouTube video, lesson plan, etc.) for middle school math that can be implemented in a classroom that is not 1:1. Explain on your blog post the aspects of PBL in your example.

I found an example of PBL in which middle school students design a building for their academy. The students are in groups so they are collaborating, and they are designing the building so they are creating. They are also given specific standards that the building must meet so they are using critical thinking skills. They are meeting the standards of their math curriculum by calculating the area and perimeter of the building. They also must build a model of their building that they will present so they are having to use ratios and proportions to build their model to scale. Finally, the students are able to share their design.

When Sharing goes Bad, Pithy Quote Fetish and Kids These Days

Dean writes about an image that has been shared on Twitter. The image is of two photos: the first being boys playing ball in the street after school and the second being three kids sitting on a couch with each looking at their own laptop. He writes about how this photo is to promote technology as a negative thing, because he also states that if in the second photo, the kids had books in their hands then the photo would be seen in a positive way. He goes on to state that books are actually more isolating than technology.

I commented that I agree that in both photos that the kids are socializing, but what bothers me is the lack of physical activity in socializing using technology.


Week #10
Who Owns the Data?

Dean writes about students needing more ownership in the assessment part of learning. He believes that students should have a say in the assessment of their learning, and that if a student truly owns their learning they will be hesitant to hand it over unless they have a say in how it is assessed.

I commented that I agree, and if we want students to take more responsibility in their learning in order to become lifelong learners, they need to have a part in the whole process, from the essential question to assessment.


Week #11
Teachers as Artists

Dean writes about how teaching is often called a science but he argues that it is more of an art. He states that artists are seen as performers sharing their work with an audience whereas scientists tend to work in closed labs isolated until they discover something and then publish their work, but often focusing on precision and perfection.

Classroom Teaching

I commented that I agree that there is some science to teaching but it is definitely more of an art that is more developed over time with experience. I gave an example of teachers that tried flipping their classroom using the teacher down the hall's videos. These teachers reported that this way of "flipping" didn't work for them because the students complained that they didn't like watching the other teacher, but they wanted to be taught from their teacher. I referenced another comment that stated an artist has a connection with their audience and that these students didn't have the connection with the other teacher.

Peoplegogy by Dr. Will Deyamport, III

Dr. Will recorded a Google Hangout with Jennifer Carey, who is the Director of Educational Technology at Ransom Everglades, for a series of episodes of his Dr. Will show. The focus of their episode was Flipping Professional Development. Jennifer speaks on how she is using short recorded videos to show teachers how to use the technology they have in their classrooms. She serves both the middle and high school in her area and they are about a mile and a half apart so these videos are helping her be in two places at once. She started out by making videos on how to sign up for Google and continued to make videos on how to use Google Docs. She said that she has received great positive feedback from the teachers because they can watch the video on their own time and they can go back to the video if they forget how to do something. Jennifer said that this does not take the place of traditional professional development but enhances it. Her teachers are now less stressed in training because they know they will have access to videos after the training in case they need to remember how to do something.

Flip Learning

I commented that I think this idea of Flipped Professional Development is great! I told him that I imagine the teachers retain more info in the training sessions because they are not as stressed about having to grasp everything that day. I also commented that I am in an online educational media class that uses Google Docs heavily, and I was glad that my professor made short videos on how to use Google Drive and Blogger because these were all new to me. Finally, I commented that like the teachers, I had to go back to them several times throughout the semester.


Week #10

Angela Maiers at angelamaiers.com

Angela wrote about how to increase learning by securing students' hearts. She calls it the 2-5-2 method. Greet students by name as they enter the classroom. Make a positive remark about several students in the first two minutes of class. Then, commend at least five students in each class period for their contributions to the discussion. Finally, save two minutes at the end of each class to reflect on what everyone learned that day.

I commented that her 2-5-2 method is a great idea! I told her that I will be teaching in about a year and I plan to implement this method. I also commented that teaching is as much about the relationships as it is about the content knowledge, and as teachers, we have to show students that we care.


Week #11

Angela Maiers at angelamaiers.com

Angela has a guest post from Adam Carroll. Adam writes about teaching young people financial literacy and encouraging financial freedom.

Financial Freedom Just Ahead

I thanked Angela for sharing this post from Adam Carroll. I commented that I firmly believe in this message, and that thankfully I had parents that preached "live below your means," but most kids aren't taught that at home. I continued that I plan to discuss with my students the aspects of financial literacy because I think finances are a great way to show how math is applicable to our everyday lives! I concluded that hopefully, these students will then be better prepared to manage their finances in their adult lives.

Video Book Review of Marc Prensky's Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Learning

Ramsey Willis and I collaborated on our video book review of Marc Prensky's Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Life.




Blog Post Assignment #10: What can we learn about teaching and learning from these teachers?

The assignment this week is to watch several teachers that Dr. Strange has recommended and write about what I learned about teaching and learning. The three that I learned the most from were Paul Anderson's Blended Learning Cycle, Sam Pane's Building Comics, and Dean Shareski's Project Based Learning.




Paul Anderson is an AP Biology Teacher in Bozeman, Montana and he gave a short video on his Blended Learning Cycle. By blended he means that as a teacher you blend online, mobile, and classroom learning while in the classroom. He uses a mnemonic device, QUIVERS, to plan out his learning cycle. QUIVERS stands for question or good "hook", investigation/inquiry, video (podcasts for direct instruction), elaboration, review, and summary quiz. The aspect I like best about this learning plan is that in the review stage, he meets with his students, usually individually, to discuss what they have learned. While they are discussing, Mr. Anderson is asking the pertinent questions to see if they learned the concept, as well as having them tell him what they learned. He requires all students to review with him before they take the quiz. Another aspect I liked about Mr. Anderson was on his Flipping the Classroom video on his blog. In this video he discusses flipping the classroom, but he also reminds teachers that every classroom is different, that teaching is personalized, and what works for one teacher may not work for another. This reminded me that teaching is an art and it has to be developed because there is no exact formula like flipping the classroom that will work for all teachers and all students.




Sam Pane's video Building Comics was a fun way for 4th graders to learn digital responsibilities and safety in order to become a super digital citizen. In this learning project students used a program on their laptops to create a superhero. Then the students used that superhero to create a comic that was a narrative story to teach digital responsibilities and safety. The students got very creative and even included pictures of themselves in the comic. Lastly, Mr. Pane had the students walk around the classroom for a "gallery walk" where they evaluated and commented on their peers' work. This was a great example of PBL because the students learned the lesson while creating with technology as well as presenting their work to the class in the "gallery walk."




Dean Shareski's Project Based Learning was the video that I liked the best. In this video, Mr. Shareski goes into a high school classroom in Canada where History, English, and Information Processing are all taught in one class. The class is three hours and has a teacher for each subject working together. The best part about this learning plan is that the students see how the subject are related which is more like the real world. The teachers he interviewed stated that this class is a better use of time because they are able to blend ideas and content, are able to go deeper in learning, and are able to give quality feedback. They also said that the students' projects are better due to having more time and for the students, better projects produce more pride in their work. I'm not sure how easy this is to facilitate, but I would love to see this happen in schools in my area.

Blog Post Assignment #9 - Things I Have Learned from Anthony Capps' and Dr. Strange's Audio Recording

Project Based Learning


There are several things I learned about Project Based Learning from listening to Anthony Capps' and Dr. Strange's audio recording. The main three topics I learned are how a teacher can begin PBL in their classroom, how students and parents are reacting to PBL, and how administrators can implement PBL in their schools.

Anthony Capps' first advice for a teacher who would like to begin Project Based Learning in their classroom is to pace yourself. He recommended going to the Buck Institute for Education to find the eight aspects of PBL, and addressing one aspect a week. Address the essential question of the project with the students in week one. Then in week two continue with the aspect from week one and add another aspect. Continue to add a new aspect each week until all aspects are covered. This ensures that students do not become overwhelmed with all aspects in the first week and then become disinterested. Mr. Capps also recommends only adding one new tool for PBL a week. Model the tool with the whole class so that students can become familiar with it, then allow them to become proficient with the tool by exploring it in groups or on their own.

For the most part, students' and parents' reactions to PBL are positive. Anthony Capps said that he knows students like PBL because it is exciting. He also said that recently he had to back away from PBL for a few weeks and he feels the difference in his students. He said that "the buzz in his classroom is not there." Parents also like PBL because their kids are excited about coming to school and that their kids have never been more engaged. Although Anthony Capps' experience with PBL has been positive, there is the case of the disinterested student. His advice for the disinterested student is to make sure that the essential question is relevant to the students so they will be engaged. Also, give the students plenty of options to choose from for their project, called "Student Voice and Choice." Lastly, give a reasonable amount of work for each student by breaking the project into small parts and give check-in dates throughout the project to keep them accountable. This also keeps the students from becoming overwhelmed. The major negative parent reaction that Anthony Capps addressed was questions on assessing the PBL. Since he knows that parents aren't sure about the assessments, he is proactive by keeping the parents informed. He said that in this year he has had three parent orientations to inform the parents when he is changing his assessment methods. He sends handouts and rubrics in multiple ways to the parents so that they will know exactly how their child will be graded on their project.

The last question is how can an administrator implement PBL in their school. Anthony Capps' answered this question by outlining how the administration implemented it in his school, Gulf Shores Elementary. The principal first started with a small group of teachers that volunteered to be educated on PBL and then implement it their classrooms. Then, the administration blanketed PBL over the entire school and required all teachers to attend professional development on PBL.

From this interview I learned that PBL requires much planning for a teacher to begin it in their classroom, students and parents are loving PBL so it must work, and in order for students in a school to get an effective education from PBL, all teachers in the school must adopt a PBL style of teaching.

Beth Still at Nebraska Change Agent

Budding Artists Project
Beth Still is a Social Studies teacher in Nebraska who is eager to see her students learn. In this post, she writes about how she requested some art supplies in December through donorschoose. The supplies arrived in February and she gave the students a break from lessons for a few days to create some art. During this time, she was able to spend time bonding with the students while working on their art. She hung the artwork in the halls of the school and dedicated each piece to a different donor.

Donors Choose Logo

I commented to Beth that I liked reading that she took the time to give her students a break from their regular schedule to allow them to create and to allow her to get to know them better. I told her that I'm a future teacher and I like to hear that it's ok to give students a break occasionally. Also, I wrote that I liked learning about donorschoose, and that I will definitely remember this organization when I become a teacher. I thanked her for her encouraging post.

Week #6

Jenny's Learning Journey
Jenny She wrote about a day in her 2nd year class in which a student took initiative and photographed Mrs. She while she was helping another student record a movie of sentences that she wrote. The student did this all on her own.

I commented to Mrs. She that she is doing a great job incorporating technology in her classroom. I wrote that I'm sure she loves it when students like Tatiana take initiative and use what she has taught them to create something new. I told her that I visited her class blog and left comments for some of her students, and that I continue to be amazed how such young students can use technology. I also wrote that I think it is great that students can write, video, and share what they create, even at only 6 years old, and I encouraged her to keep up the good work.

Week #7

Wesley Fryer at Moving at the Speed of Creativity

The Evolution of BYOD for our Church Session
Wesley wrote about how his church board meeting is evolving with the use of technology. The board members are beginning to bring their laptops and tablets to meetings, and instead of printing copies of the 15 documents that they need, they are beginning to use Dropbox to distribute the handouts.

Bring Your Own Device

I commented to Wesley that in my EDM class I am learning about how technology is used in the classroom, but this excites me to see how it is used in church meetings as well. I told him that I'm on a committee at church and although it's a small committee, using technology like Dropbox could be beneficial. I also wrote that this is definitely the future for meetings, even in churches, because as our children learn to use technology in their schoolwork, they will expect to be able to use it in the rest of their lives.

Week #8

Silvia Tolisano at Langwitches Blog

Flipped Writing Videos - Production Techniques
Silvia writes about Emily Vallillo, sixth grade Humanities teacher at Graded, The American School of São Paulo and how she is creating videos to teach writing in her flipped classroom.

I commented to Silvia that this post was very informative to me, as this is my first semester in education classes and the concept of the flipped classroom is new to me. I told her that I think the story about Carol was creative and I like that students can rewind the video if they need to while they are writing. I also asked her a couple of questions, do you know how long it took Emily to create the six minute video? Do students actually go home and watch the video for homework, so that the flipped classroom works? I told her that I ask this because in my recent experience in a middle school classroom, the teacher had trouble getting the students to do homework, and I also commented that it may have just been the school though, because other teachers in the school said the same thing.

Green Screen
Week #5

An Oscar Type Moment
Dean writes about a story that Preston Tyrell shared with him at a recent speaking engagement. Preston Tyrell is a teacher at Mother of Providence Regional School in Wallingford. One day when teaching his students about filming and green screens, he videoed his lesson and uploaded it to Youtube. Well, this year at the Oscars part of his video was used for a commercial for Google. Mr. Tyrell gave credit to his former teacher Mr. Fetterman for teaching him how to use green screens in filming.

I commented to Dean that this is a great story of how teachers leave a legacy. Mr. Fetterman made an impact as a teacher on Mr. Tyrell, and Mr. Tyrell has made an impact on Grace, just by going the extra mile in his teaching. I told him that this encourages me to think about the impact I can have on my students.

Week #6

The Thing that Bugs Me
Dean writes about the educational media class that he teaches at the undergraduate level. He is frustrated that some students will not put the effort forth that they need to in order to learn about media so that they may incorporate it into their future classrooms. He feels that the only power he has is in grades but he does not feel like that is enough to make a difference in these students.

I commented that this blog post and it's comments have been encouraging to me. I told him I'm in an Educational Media graduate class at the University of South Alabama, and being an undergrad in Math, this class is so different from any class I have ever taken before. Entering into this semester, I was one of those students that not necessarily didn't like to use technology, but didn't have a lot of exposure to it. My class is similar to yours. I have a blog that I post to every week, comment on several other blogs every week, and do projects using technology like Google docs and link them to my blog and website. While doing all this since January, I have yet to see a single grade on anything that I have done. My professor does leave comments on my blog post, but I am not familiar with not knowing how I am doing in a class gradewise. This class has also required a lot of time and work, but I know I have learned so much that I can directly apply to my future classroom. I concluded the comment by saying that somehow his students need to realize that technology is the future of education and they are not going to make it as a teacher in the future if they cannot put in the work required for his class.

Week #7

Archiving Twitter
Dean writes that although a lot of Tweets are just idle conversation, there are some that get you thinking, so being able to retrieve those easily would be helpful. He provides links to Martin Hawskey and Alan Levine who developed an easy was to access your Twitter archive.

I thanked Dean for this post, and told him that I'm new to Twitter and I need all the help I can get.

I commented to Juliet that she has a good start to her presentation on native trees of New Zealand. I told her that I did not know about the Harakeke tree so I learned something by looking at her presentation. I also told her that the Harakeke tree sounds like a very useful tree, and I encouraged her to keep up the good work on her presentation.

Blog Post Assignment #8 - 21st Century Learning and Communication Tools

There are several 21st Century Learning and Communication Tools that we have already addressed in this class such as Google Docs, Khan Academy, and PBLs, but there are still plenty more available for use. In this post I will address Flipping the Classroom, Edmodo, and VoiceThread.

Flipping the Classroom
Flipping the classroom is the term used for instead of teachers using 90% of their time lecturing to students, teachers record their own video lessons or use other teacher's recordings and assign these videos for students to watch for homework or on their own time. Then students come to class prepared to use class time as application of the lesson. This allows students to learn at their own pace with the ability to stop and rewind a lesson if they need to. Parents like this because they can watch the lesson too which allows them to better help their children at home. Here is a video of Katie Gimbar, an 8th grade Math teacher in North Carolina who flipped her classroom and saw great results for all types of learners.



Edmodo Logo
Edmodo
Edmodo is a site for students, teachers, and parents that is a free and safe way for students and teachers to connect and collaborate. Students like this site because it resembles a social network, and teachers like it because it is an effective way for them to connect with students. It has a calendar where teachers can post lesson and assignment dates so students can always know what is happening in their class, and it has an app for the iPhone so students can link the calendar to their phone. Teachers can post links to sites they think might interest their students, and they can engage students outside of class by continuing classroom discussions on their Edmodo site. Students can also submit assignments online through Edmodo which can better help teachers stay organized. Another benefit is that teachers can give polls through this site to check for student understanding, and award badges based on performance or behavior. This site also allows teachers the ability to measure student progress by tracking grades. Lastly, not only can teachers connect to students and parents through Edmodo, but they can also use it in their PLN by connecting to adminstrators, other teachers, and publishers.

VoiceThread
VoiceThread is an online tool that allows presentations to be more personal by enhancing them with audio. Students can use VoiceThread to create a slide presentation with written comments or recorded audio comments or a combination of both, and then they can share them with their teacher and peers. Then the teacher and peers can leave audio or written comments on the student's slides. When leaving a comments, users can also draw on the slides to make their comment more effective. The best thing about VoiceThread is that it is free for up to a three minute presentation.

ALEX Project

ALEX stands for the Alabama Learning Exchange. On this site, there are many helps for teachers, including course of study standards for subject and grade level, lesson plans, and even a personal workspace to save lesson plans. If you visit my site, you can see the course of study standards for 7th and 8th grade Math, as well as two lesson plans for middle school Math, "Becoming a Wise Consumer - Comparison Shopping" and "The Golden Face."

Blog Post #7 - Alabama Virtual Library

Here is the presentation that Ramsey Willis and I put together about the Alabama Virtual Library.
