21st Century Skills: Promoting Creativity and Innovation in the Classroom

21st Century Skills: Promoting Creativity and Innovation in the Classroom | Frankly EdTech | Scoop.it
InnovatingCreatingThinking's curator insight, March 6, 11:33 AM

Students in successful classrooms not only understand what they are learning, but why they are learning it and how it connects to the world beyond the classroom. Whether it is designing all the components to make a house in a high school maths/technology class or reading a home reader in primary school, students are able to connect with the what, how and why  of learning.

Samantha Mulford-Phillips's curator insight, March 19, 8:26 AM

We need more innovation for engagement!

Absolutely Katie! For both learners and teachers that ownership is important. As someone who has 2 (my personal iPad and my teaching iPad) I'd also recommend that one has the most important/used apps on both (it has happened to me to be missing an important app on my teaching iPad once!

Connected Learning: Reimagining the Experience of Education in the Information Age

Connected Learning: Reimagining the Experience of Education in the Information Age | Frankly EdTech | Scoop.it
Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, June 9, 1:18 PM

"We are living in a historical moment of transformation and realignment in the creation and sharing of knowledge, in social, political and economic life, and in global connectedness. There is wide agreement that we need new models of education suited to this historic moment, and not simply new models of schooling, but entirely new visions of learning better suited to the increasing complexity, connectivity, and velocity of our new knowledge society. Fortunately, we are also able to harness the same technologies and social processes that have powered these transformations in order to provide the next generation with learning experiences that open doors to academic achievement, economic opportunity, and civic engagement.


Specifically, we now have the capability to reimagine where, when, and how learning takes place; to empower and motivate youth to pursue knowledge and develop expertise at a pace, to a degree, and on a path that takes advantage of their unique interests and potential; and to build on innovations across a growing spectrum of learning institutions able to support a range of learning experiences for youth that were unimaginable even 15 years ago."

Documenting Learning in Mathematics (or any other subject) using Padlet

Documenting Learning in Mathematics (or any other subject) using Padlet | Frankly EdTech | Scoop.it

I see many benefits in this process of documenting the learning and not just in Mathematics.

In this new era of collaborative teaching, it’s a great way of recording a lesson for other members of the team to view.As a Maths leader/mentor, it’s a useful way of modelling a lesson for teams to discuss.For students, it gives them access to previous learning that they can revisit at different times of the year to review/revise and support their learningFor assessment purposes, it can provide a record of the different stages of learning that took place during a lesson or series of lessons.the use of Padlet itself opens up personalised access for students to work at their own pace ( not evident in this lesson as it was more of a guided lesson rather than an independent task)
