What struck me about the Edutopia reading?
The information that stuck with me or made it through my RAS filter were:
How the brain learns best and strategies to make learning stick.
• Frequent Feedback from students
• The use of all students using personalised whiteboards - open up the brain
• Ask questions every few minutes in a 10 or 15 minute teaching block
• Understand each students strengths
• Use interactive and pair share
• Create themes and events that are fresh (daily) and novel to cover KLA's.
• Use ICT's such as websites like the 'Set Daily Puzzle' www.setgame.com/set/puzzle
• Visualisation uses the same part of the brain that needs to perform the task the
complete or learn further about the task or subject ahead.
Implications for the classroom?
• School and Curriculum guidelines/perceptions
Benefits by using ICT's in the classroom?
• Interactive
• Current information from many mediums off the web for example
• Providing an opportunity for students to sustain attention through an exciting tool
such as the interactive smart board
Excellent first blog post geoffery.
ReplyDeleteCan I suggest you combine all the engagement activity responses into one post. This is because it is essential for you to provide a blog that id easy to navigate by visitors and when you work with your students you need some type of order with the posts.
I will unpack this idea more in our classes if you remind me.
Have you commented on any other blog posts?
please do so if you can.
