Identifying Similarities and Differences
Four processes:
Comparing
Classifying
Creating metaphors
Creating analogies
Helps student restructure their understanding of content
Encourages students to make new connections and correct misconceptions
Use graphic and symbolic representations to give students support and structure

Microsoft Word
SmartArt graphics
Insert table
Clipart for analogies and metaphors
Microsoft Excel

Mapping software

Mimio Notebook
SMART Notebook
Promethean ActivInspire
Comparing Example
Classifying Example

Summarizing and Note Taking
Enhance students' ability to synthesize information and distill it into a concise new form.
Students need specific summarizing and note-taking techniques.
Microsoft Office for summarizing and note-taking:
Use Track Changes in Word to teach summarizing technique
Use Auto Summarize to compare student summaries with computer summary
PowerPoint for combination notes (two-content layout)

Concepts/Facts
Nonlinguistic Representations
Summary:

Summarizing and Note Taking
Collaborative summarizing and note-taking:
Wiki http://wikispaces.com
Example: http://ow.ly/25rWN
Blog http://www.blogger.com
Example: http://sarahplainandtall.blogspot.com/
EtherPad http://piratepad.net
Take & share notes from the session!

Reinforcing Effort
Motivation plays a key role in the learning process.
Use a rubric and spreadsheet to track effort and achievement.
Students rate their own effort and record in a spreadsheet.
Provide students with grades for each task based on criteria for assignment.
Students enter grades in spreadsheet, then create a graph to show correlation between effort and achievement.

Providing Recognition
Provide recognition through:
Digital student portfolios
Blog
Microsoft certificate templates http://ow.ly/259Fx
Example: Students create certificates for classmates.

Providing Recognition
Podcast
Audioboohttp://audioboo.fm
Teachers, students, and parents can record podcast and share with class.
Video conferencing/messaging
Tokbox http://www.tokbox.com
Similar to podcasting, create a video message to provide recognition for students.

Homework and Practice
Give students opportunities to deepen their understanding of and proficiency with content
Communicate the purpose of homework and practice
Provide feedback to students
Students need a lot of practice to achieve mastery

Homework and Practice
Have students work cooperatively to create games using templates below.
Students who create the games and students who play the games will
benefit!
Templates for you or students to create
Classroom game templates
Microsoft Office games
PowerPoint templates
Teacher created games
Jeopardy games
PowerPoint games

Web Resources for Homework and Practice
Math
Virtual manipulatives

Use linguistic & nonlinguistic representations of content to increase understanding and retention.
To significantly increase learning, involve students in creating nonlinguistic representations.
Simple applications:
Add clip art and photos to notes, vocabulary, word walls
Play video clips and slideshows
Use presentation software for lessons

Cooperative Learning
Use a variety of grouping
patterns.
Informal Groups:
Think-Pair-Share
Turn to your neighbor
Formal Groups:
Literature Circles
Guided Reading
Project-based
Base Groups:
Long term
Homeroom
Table team

Use rubrics to communicate expectations for cooperative learning and evaluate group cooperation.

Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback
Students learn best when they know the goals or objectives of a lesson or learning activity.
We do this with:
Essential Questions
Essential Skills
Rubrics
KWL

Setting Objectives
Digital learning goals are easily shared with parents and easy to access later for progress monitoring, reflection, and evaluation.
Electronic KWL
Example: http://bit.ly/kwlchart
Learning contract
Example using Google Docs Form: http://ow.ly/25sJw
Spreadsheet for results
Blog for brainstorming
Post topic prior to lesson, unit, text reading, etc.

Setting Objectives
Data and goal-setting
Electronic newsletter
Study Island
Pre-assessment
Survey Monkey
Clickers
Microsoft Mouse Mischief
Angles lesson example

Providing Feedback
Effective feedback enhances student achievement.
Rubrics
Rubistar
Teachnology
Blog - Use comments for feedback
Example: http://ow.ly/24UkI

Providing Feedback
Classroom web page - Use as digital portfolio for students. Teachers, students, and parents can leave comments for feedback.
Example: http://ow.ly/24Uu0
Voice Thread
Microsoft Word – Comments
Clickers - Provide immediate feedback
Study Island

Generating and Testing Hypotheses
Includes 6 types of tasks:
Systems Analysis (Predict what might happen if one part of a system changes.)
Problem Solving (Focus on unstructured, real life problems that may have more than one solution.)
Decision Making (Make a prediction and weigh it against other possible alternatives.)
Historical Investigation (“What really happened?” “Why did this happen?”)
Experimental Inquiry (Not only used in science!)
Invention (“Shouldn’t there be a better way to…?”)

Spreadsheets
Microsoft Excel
Google Docs
Collect and analyze data
Evaluate criteria
Make decisions
