Notas do Editor

  1. Web sites – going to preselected sites for information, discussion boards, blogsWorking in experts groups to find information on a specified topicCollaboration on documents or presentationsResearch - in the databases/online to share information about a piece of literature or an authorPractice integrating quotes, paraphrasing, creating citations
  2. Sharing web sites/pictures/diagrams/blogs/discussion boardsModeling writing, analysis, study strategiesMake note taking more interactive using SMART board/slateCritical reading using highlighted text (PDF or SMART)Illustrating vocabulary, showing dictionary use, deciphering meaningsShowing examples of products/projects from former students using PDFs or scansMake Review games/activities interactive and funAudio/Visual vocabulary using web sites and SMARTPresenting background material using Movie Maker or Premiere ElementsMaking Art/Literature connections
  3. Putting the focus on student learning, rather than teacher telling or "covering the content", means (1) students take responsibility for their own learning, (2) learning experiences are geared to students' interests and needs, (3) students are actively engaged in learning in a variety of groups and contexts, and (4) learning is understood, applied and internalized.
  4. Because it is like a journal, it can be on any subject and for any purpose.Take a look at a blog I created concerning the Texas STaR Chart and one Cy-Fair High School.
