Editor's Notes
- #4 In today’s world, study skills alone don’t equal student success. Students must be prepared to navigate course management systems; be productive in office suites; digitally collaborate; conduct research online; and create innovative projects. Success courses typically focus on helping students build study skills. Unfortunately, they often ignore modern technologies. Therefore, our goal today is to look at how we can embed technology proficiency into success courses to provide students with additional success skills.
- #5 Research at The Ohio State University physics department showed the use of clickers brought female scores in line with men’s and increased test scores across the board.
- #9 When we think about constructivisim and exploratory learning, this is the perfect way to implement! Also consider letting students demo technologies to build their confidence & presentation skills
- #11 Wikis – collaborative writing. Teaches group work etiquette. Emotional Intelligence – how does it feel when someone edits your work. Also great for peer reviews. Communication. Blogs – great way to add that metacognitive piece to your class. Podcasts – educause research shows 5 min. mini lectures are highly effective at reinforcing key points. Digital testing – do students know how to respond to different types of test questions, the pros and cons of digital tests, practicing test-taking strategies (#6, 8,9, 11, 12 Safe Assign – great for your lectures on documenting sources / plagiarism
- #16 Word – Cornell notes, 2 & 3 column notes, research papers, gap analysis, create flyers for student organizations, business cards for networking PowerPoint – reinforce material from readings, class presentations, online jigsaw, creative projects for literature/personalize learning (multi-genre projects, literature ladders (thinking like a teacher/Bloom’s Taxonomy – Essential study skills Linda Wong) Excel – track grades if instructor doesn’t use a digital grade book Access – database of great sites to use for technology/major SharePoint – study groups/collaborative work
- #17 Reinforcing the importance of reading the text – especially BEFORE class! Looking at being able to distinguish importance in readings. Learning about how to read their teachers Created a study guide Learned a new skill in Word – change orientation; create & format a table
- #19 Especially great if you have a course reader. Can be used to extend vocabulary, look for details, practice thinking like a teacher.
- #20 Google docs – created online assessments with Google forms – embedded into BB9 & had a spreadsheet of all student results for sorting, differentiating assignments, creating groups, etc.
- #23 A great way to start research – get ideas, narrow or broaden topics, key terms to use in searches, bibliography Also a great way to practice research writing & documenting sources.
