This document summarizes an education technology product called R Square, which is a formative assessment tool. It discusses how R Square incorporates elements that are important for learning like motivation, exploration, gradual increases in difficulty, intervention and feedback. It then compares R Square to other popular learning methods like blackboard teaching and shows how R Square better accommodates individual learning needs. The document demonstrates R Square's interface and reports. It lists the benefits of R Square as improved school results, better exam performance, happier parents and increased teacher efficiency.
With every new iteration of technology, we create generations of students whose primary media "language" for learning and interacting with the world is different than the generation before it. In the last five years, technologies like online homework, free online videos, personalized learning software, mobile devices, learning analytics, high-quality digital math games, computational knowledge engines have been chipping away at the corners of education and traditional teaching. Technology-enhanced learning is here to stay and it will alter the face of education, like it or not. This is a guide to navigating and thriving in this new world.
The CompassLearning Pulse Poll was a spot survey of national education leaders attending the ASCD Critical Transformation Conference in San Antonio, Texas, March 6 -8, 2010. The polling was conducted by PURSUIT, an independent research and consulting firm based in Austin, Texas. Interviews were completed in person on Saturday and Sunday, March 6-7, among a random sampling of conference attendees. Survey results reported carry a standard margin of error of +/- 5.5 percentage points at the 95% confidence interval.
This presentation will discuss using online tutoring in conjunction with face-to-face tutoring as two halves of a complete tutoring experience. We will look at the PCCC Writing Center’s combination of the use of eTutoring with face-to-face tutoring to help students improve not only individual papers, but also their writing in general.
Whiteboard.fi is an online whiteboard service specially designed for teachers and classrooms. An excellent tool for formative assessment! It is free online whiteboard tool for teachers and classroom. This presentation gives the overview of how to use the whiteboard.fi tool as teacher and student.
Webinar: Assessing to Inform Teaching and Learning: A Guide for LeadersDreamBox Learning
School and district-wide use of classroom-based formative assessment is an essential part of informing teacher planning and instruction, as well as meaningful student achievement. In this webinar, Francis (Skip) Fennell, L. Stanley Bowlsbey Professor of Education and Graduate and Professional Studies Emeritus, McDaniel College, shares a framework for school and district-based leaders to develop elements of leadership while establishing a grade-level or school-based learning community focusing on everyday use of formative assessment.
Topics include:
• Assessment literacy and the use of particular tools to guide and monitor the use of the formative assessment techniques presented
• How ongoing, everyday use of the “Formative 5” intersects with summative assessment data and frame assessment decisions
• A leadership framework to guide successful implementation of the “Formative 5,” including coaching, navigating relationships, learning communities and adult learners
All school and district-based leaders, and K-12 educators are invited to watch this recorded webinar.
Beyond State Assessments: Start Building Lifelong Math LearnersDreamBox Learning

The Next Generation of Differentiation: The Path to More Powerful Personaliza...DreamBox Learning
As education continues to change, so does our definition of differentiation. In this edWebinar, Madeline Ahearn, Curriculum Administrator in Eugene School District 4J in Oregon, and Kelly Urlacher, Senior Curriculum Designer at DreamBox Learning, explore how personalization has evolved in her district and how new innovative technologies have supported increased opportunities to personalize learning.
Empowering Teacher Agency: How Data-Driven PD Models are Improving K-5 Math A...DreamBox Learning
Just as teachers struggle to find time and resources that support differentiation and personalization for every student in math class, administrators struggle to provide differentiated professional learning options for teachers that are relevant to their classroom and easily accessible.
To improve elementary student achievement in math, district administrators must explore innovative approaches to professional development that improve teachers’ understanding of mathematics concepts. In this webinar, Dr. Tim Hudson, VP of Learning at DreamBox Learning shared how to:
Adopt a new model of online professional learning that empowers teachers to use real-time student data to access “just in time” professional learning resources that are specific to their students and classrooms.
Implement best practices for driving teacher agency in PD, such as empowering teachers to use data to choose PD topics that address the real challenges in their classrooms.
Ensure equitable learning outcomes for all students in mathematics by also ensuring equitable professional learning outcomes for all mathematics teachers.

4. THE 3 Ps
Basics of Education
Pedagogy Pupil Platform
The Methodology The Enablers
The Wisdom Seeker
5. Popular Examples
Blackboard Teaching
Pedagogy: ‘Tell’ the students
pieces of knowledge or
known ‘facts’. Oriented to
serve auditory learners, word
smart students.
Pupil: Assumes all students
are the same. Expects
students to be attentive and
in a ‘all-students-look-at-me’
class setting.
Platform: The blackboard,
chalk, a pen and a notebook.
Blackboard teaching is India’s most
widely prevalent teaching system
6. Popular Examples
Smart Class
Pedagogy: ‘Tell’ the students
pieces of knowledge or known
‘facts’. Oriented to serve visual
and auditory learners.
Pupil: Appreciates that students
learn in two different ways. Still
expects students to be attentive
and in a ‘all-students-look-at-
me’ class setting.
Platform: The ‘smart’ board, a
pen and a notebook.
Smart Classes have gained a lot of
popularity in recent times
7. Popular Examples
Experiential Learning/ Activity Based Learning
Pedagogy: Let the student
explore the concept through an
activity, and draw conclusions
based on findings.
Pupil: Allows students certain
degree of freedom to work with
the concept. Encourages group
work, but does not adjust to
each child’s pace.
Platform: Resources that may
be required for the activity.
Experiential Learning is slowly
gaining popularity in India
8. Popular Examples
Enquiry Based Learning
Enquiry Based Learning is slow and
resource heavy
Pedagogy: Allows students to
draft their own problem
statements and seek answers
to them in different ways.
Pupil: Appreciates that
students learn in different
ways, and accommodates
them differently.
Platform: All resources that
may be necessary for such
inquiry and exploration.
