I like this poster. Learning psychology is about explaining or outlining a theory, followed by evidence in the form of research, ending with critical evaluative commentary. This will be helpful for students.

A useful infographic that not only summarises the attributes of a critical thinker but more significantly, provides a 25 point list of actions teachers can invite students to do in learning activities, to stimulate and develop critical thinking abilities. A great poster for your office wall! Delete the scoop?

Back in 2007, two high school science teachers in Woodland Park, CO, decided to try a “crazy idea.” “We said, ‘What if we stopped lecturing and committed all our lectures to videos?’” says Jon Bergmann, now the lead technology facilitator at the Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth, IL. He and fellow educator Aaron Sams posted their short films—15 to 20 minutes long—for students to watch at home. (Parents could also look and say, “Oh, I see how the teacher wants it done!” says Bergmann.) Via gwynethjones, Karen Bonanno, Glenda Morris

Flipping a classroom does have its positives but it will depend on student access and their commitment to watching video at home...just the same as in the past, will they do their written homework?

There's a debate across the country over how well universities are preparing graduates for the real world, and whether colleges should operate more like businesses. That debate is particularly heated in Texas, where Gov.
R.Conrath, Ed.D.'s insight:
I heard this article by NPR, and I think Governor Perry's perspective is disturbing and lacking in an understanding of how a university works. While there are aspects of business that are involved in higher education, many areas are not recordable on an accountant's ledger. The term Perry can't understand, nor S.C.'s former Governor Sanford, is synergy. Higher learning educates people; it doesn't make junk bonds or cheaply made car parts. (I mention former Governor Sanford because while he was in office he tried similar tactics that involved closing smaller state supported colleges. What he didn’t know or comprehend was that the smaller colleges are what kept USC running in the black, not the other way around. ) Delete the scoop?

"With this new application in Google Docs ( Drive ), teachers can now record their audio comments and share them with their students. I see this as a better way to give feedback on students' work and I do believe there are things we can express with our voice that no written code could ever capture like the tone and intonation..etc." Via John Evans

Update/Tip: I tried it out-if you have to change your original document-just copy it and add voice to it-121 Writing doesn't sync with your Google Docs updates.
Instructors are always looking for ways to add audio feedback-I'd much prefer adding voice messages to my student's Google Docs then just text like I have in the past. Delete the scoop?

Today, in addition to introducing children to books and curating collections in school libraries, teacher-librarians are doing the same with websites and online information. They often research and vet appropriate websites ahead of time to provide to teachers when they're covering a particular subject, just as they do with books. But they also teach students to do better Internet searches, refine their search terms, and become more independent. Part of the challenge is a trend teachers and librarians call "satisficing," a combination of satisfying and sufficient or suffice, said Finlay. In other words, students' approach is often "get what I need for an assignment and hand it in." Teacher-librarians aim to get students to look deeper into their subjects.
