Technology For Student Success - Simplifying Student Researchteacherjday
"Technology for Student Success" was a presentation for teachers and administrators to model how to simplify students' research by using of content with a purpose, for an audience. Each student culminates his or her research into a briefings format.
The format is easy to use when following the ABCs of Briefings:
*A - Authentic forms and strategies of research writing in the real world are identified, as resources for the integration of all subject areas.
*B - Briefings based on content for a purpose; affecting an audience.
*C - Choice is applies and connected to community within and outside of the classroom.
Throughout the session teachers:
1. discover how the structure of briefings support the author's purpose through strategic presentation of content to affect an audience.
2. apply components of authentic learning: choice, connections, and community to increase motivation, problem solving and quality in writing.
3. use self generated, open-ended questions about a topic to guide research from a variety of resources.
4. identify what makes effective revision through a question and answer sharing format.
5. self assess their own learning and consider how to implement the research model in their own classrooms with students.
I facilitated this session for the Center for School Reform (in Kansas City, MO) at the Summit for Student Success Conference, held in Columbia, MO.

Technology For Student Success - Simplifying Student Researchteacherjday
"Technology for Student Success" was a presentation for teachers and administrators to model how to simplify students' research by using of content with a purpose, for an audience. Each student culminates his or her research into a briefings format.
The format is easy to use when following the ABCs of Briefings:
*A - Authentic forms and strategies of research writing in the real world are identified, as resources for the integration of all subject areas.
*B - Briefings based on content for a purpose; affecting an audience.
*C - Choice is applies and connected to community within and outside of the classroom.
Throughout the session teachers:
1. discover how the structure of briefings support the author's purpose through strategic presentation of content to affect an audience.
2. apply components of authentic learning: choice, connections, and community to increase motivation, problem solving and quality in writing.
3. use self generated, open-ended questions about a topic to guide research from a variety of resources.
4. identify what makes effective revision through a question and answer sharing format.
5. self assess their own learning and consider how to implement the research model in their own classrooms with students.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
