From the article "... many teachers, including myself, often hold our students’ hands and lead them from A to B ... We give our students scaffolds that tell them exactly what to do. We work through questions in worksheets as a whole class so all students have to do is copy the answers from the board or write down what they heard from another student. Students look like they know what they are doing, but really they were like me, just following someone who knows what they are doing."
"But what if we just let our students get from A to B by themselves? Why are we so scared of letting them find their own way?" Via Katherine Stevens Delete the scoop?

Πόσο δίκιο έχει. Αλλά πώς θα ...βγει η ύλη; είναι το ερώτημα των περισσοτέρων από εμάς όταν φτάσουμε στο σημείο να αποφασίσουμε, να κάνουμε τη μετάβαση από τον "μαύρο"πίνακα, στον προτζέκτορα και τον Η/Υ. Χρειάζεται χρόνος για την ουσιαστική μετάβαση και να απαγκιστρωθούμε από το "σχολικό εγχειρίδιο". Τότε οι δυνατότητές μας θα είναι απεριόριστες. Delete the scoop?

3 game-like concepts you can use.
* Stories, Yes. Bullets, No! "We've all heard that it is no longer cool to give a presentation of nothing but bullet points. But while it's easy to say 'don't use bullets,' it's a lot harder to figure out what to do instead. One option is to think like a video game designer. The objective of the game may be to save the princess, but to make the game compelling, you have to tell the princess's backstory, make us adore the princess, and then tell us what trouble the princess is in and how we'll save her."
"At a minimum, create a work-like scenario. ... An even more compelling story will have actual characters and a string of events. "

In a traditional classroom, the teacher is the center of attention, the owner of knowledge and information. Teachers often ask questions of their students to gauge comprehension, but it’s a passive model that relies on students to absorb information they need to reproduce on tests.
