19. Managing it All…
Let students have a limited time to "play" with new
technologies, manipulatives, etc. BEFORE you give
them tight timelines and deadlines.
22. Rubrics
“A rubric is an explicit summary of the criteria
for assessing a particular piece of student
work, plus levels of potential achievement
for each criterion.” (source)
But really RUBRICS are time-savers!
30. No lost children…
Signs with instructions where they are
needed.
Use pictures to support limited readers
Use audio to support auditory children
Expert “ads” where the needs are likely
to be
33. In a Nutshell…
Pick the right tools and resources
Provide support to allow for rich learning
experiences
Encourage horizontal movement of
information
“Automate” what you can
34. What is a teacher?
A guide, not a guard.
What is learning?
A journey, not a destination.
What is discovery?
Questioning the answers.
What is the process?
Discovering ideas, not covering content.
What is the goal?
Open minds, not closed issues.
What is the test?
Being and becoming,
not remembering and reviewing.
What is school?
Whatever we choose to make it.
35. Remember:
There is no failure, only attempts
and unexpected outcomes.
