Seriously– this is an opportunity to pick up the pace in your classrooms! This table was built by TeachBytes and details 22 different ways to use Twitter in the classroom. All my advisees will recognize why I love that it's organized by Bloom’s Taxonomy 'objective verbs'.

"We hear often of the "high expectations" schools must have of and for their students, yet we seldom hear of the expectations students have of their schools." Via Kathleen McClaskey

Learners' expectations constitute the new "rules of engagement" in the relationship that young people want with their schools. Consider these expectations and then have an open dialogue on how you can create "learner-centered" environments where these expectations could be realized for the learners in your school.

I liked this. It was an opportunity for me to listen to the learner point of view. The 10 expectations are relevant at any level but these are particularly important at the secondary and college level in my view. These expectations also speak to how on line and blended learning environments will or will not connect to learners. well worth 4 minutes!-Lou

"Okay, I confess: I love this book.
"Invent to Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroomby Sylvia Libow Martinez and Gary Stager, does a fantastic job of laying out the pedagogical underpinnings for why "making" has a place in school.
"In their readable, down-to-earth style, Martinez and Stager provide a rich history of why making activities not just belong in school but are the root of genuine learning: "The maker movement may represent our best hope for reigniting progressive education," they write."

Pinterest is an online platform that is making such a huge buzz in the world of social media. Focusing on the visual component, Pinterest attracted a huge number of internet surfers and within a few months after its launch, its user data base counted millions. People tend to favor visual attractiveness over the textual one. This is probably understood given how the mind easily and quickly processes and stores visually encoded data compared to the written code. Via Andrea Zeitz Delete the scoop?

The authors of this excellent article on how UDL can benefit all types of learners present a universal design lesson for educators:
"If we think about and plan the best way to deliver the information for all students, not only will our instruction improve but it will also be accessible to everyone in the classroom.
For UDL to be both effective and properly implemented, the practitioner needs to know the difference between accommodating and modifying learning." They illustrate this distinction through a fishing tale.
They go on to describe 5 effective UDL Tips for Teachers that when used effectively as accomodations will cultivate a group of learners capable of experienceing success beyond the classroom.
1. Provide digital notes 2. Use screen readers/audio books 3. Allow extra time 4. Use noise-reducing technology 5. Differentiate assessments
Thank you Jason Rogers and Keith van der Meer for your insight and inspiring lesson!
