Seven strategies for supporting student learning in a remote environment

Seven strategies for supporting student learning in a remote environment | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From inservice.ascd.org - May 12, 2020 4:46 PM
The Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically upended traditional schooling and made remote learning the “new normal.” Teachers are scrambling to offer some form of continuing education using virtual technologies, with the recognition that traditional approaches to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and grading must be altered. While it might be more expedient to present online lessons, electronic worksheets, and resource packets, we propose that the learn-at-home circumstance offers an opportunity to present students with more engaging and meaningful learning experiences. More specifically, we recommend providing students with assignments and tasks that challenge them to find information from various sources, critically appraise what they find, and use what they learn to address interesting issues and genuine problems.

Critical thinking instruction in humanities reduces belief in pseudoscience

Critical thinking instruction in humanities reduces belief in pseudoscience | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From phys.org - January 2, 2018 11:40 AM
A recent study by North Carolina State University researchers finds that teaching critical thinking skills in a humanities course significantly reduces student beliefs in "pseudoscience" that is unsupported by facts.

"Given the national discussion of 'fake news,' it's clear that critical thinking - and classes that teach critical thinking - are more important than ever," says Anne McLaughlin, an associate professor of psychology at NC State and co-author of a paper describing the work.

Judgment: Navigating Choices and Decisions

Judgment: Navigating Choices and Decisions | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.edutopia.org - October 11, 2016 2:33 PM
Students need good judgment to successfully navigate the sea of information in their academic lives, as well as for the social and emotional choices and decisions that they will inevitably face. For all of this, students require the executive function of judgment to monitor their understanding and interpretation. Judgment is critical for thoughtful consideration of their choices and the consequences of their actions. In this post, I'll suggest ways that you can activate your students' neuroplasticity to strengthen their brains' developing neural networks that support judgment.

Here's where tools like Google Forms' quiz mode, Add-ons like Flubaroo, and other simple quiz systems like Formative have value for me and many other educators. A short multiple choice quiz that gives students instant or near instant feedback can be one part of giving you and your students an opportunity to see what they know about a topic before embarking on a new unit of study.

Do Adults Learn Differently Than Students?

Do Adults Learn Differently Than Students? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From elearningindustry.com - May 24, 2019 3:32 PM
There are many similarities to adults and students when it comes to learning. If you were an auditory learner in school, you probably still prefer that learning method [1]. If you were a verbal learner you still prefer that. Adults are able to learn from additional styles as they know what they need to pick out from training, and they know the impact it will have on their job if they do not. The motivation to learn is more relevant to adults than it is to students, but trainers need to be aware of learner preferences.

3 Questions for Reflection to Move Forward –

3 Questions for Reflection to Move Forward – | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From georgecouros.ca - November 15, 2018 3:01 PM

“Student Voice” is something that many schools are focusing on and for a good reason.  If we, as educators, understand that we serve our students and not the other way around, getting their thought and feedback for not only problems but solutions in moving our schools forward, is crucial.

From my experience though, I have seen a lot of money, time, and effort, in getting thoughts and feedback from students, listening to their voice, and then often, no action based on what they have shared.  Dean Shareski wrote a challenging post on this and shared the following thoughts on “Student Voice”:

From www.edutopia.org - December 22, 2017 3:37 PM
I’m really excited to see that educators are clear about the use of formative and summative assessment. We’re using formative assessment to gauge the effectiveness of our teaching and to know what our students know and have yet to learn. We’re using summative assessment to evaluate student progress toward course goals and report grades.

Recap for encouraging reflection on learning

Recap for encouraging reflection on learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From nikpeachey.blogspot.co.uk - May 12, 2017 2:24 PM
One of the true keys to learning and developing any ability is the willingness and capacity to reflect on what we have learned.

So how can we encourage our students to reflect on what they have learned? Generally we want them to reflect from a slightly more distant perspective of time rather than more immediately within the classroom and this is where Recap can really help.

Yeison Ossa Trejos's curator insight, November 7, 2016 11:40 AM
In the 21st century, education must get along with technology. Teachers are expected to be able to integrate digital resources into the classrrom if they want their practice to be successful. Students love using digital devices to support their learning process. For this reason teachers should keep in mind the use of these tools to promote, engage, and facilitate students' learning as often as possible. One way to do this is by incorporating apps that can help students demonstarte what they have learnt through posters, infographics, videos, animations, and digital portafolios. These resources not only engage learners but also boost their creativity in and outside the classroom.

The university library in the 21st century (with images, tweets) · LTHEchat

From storify.com - October 7, 2016 9:57 AM

In this #LTHEchat we will discussing the role of the library in student learning. Information has changed from being nearly entirely text and paper based to a wide range of media many of which are available electronically. This has changed the way that university libraries see themselves. They are no longer just a physical space but a virtual one too. The question is have libraries evolved quickly enough to maximise the student learning experience across all disciplines in the 21st century? And are students developing the information literacy skills they need for the future employment?

Today’s best and brightest students can only be described as such because they believe in their own abilities; if they didn’t, they’d have fallen behind their peers long ago. In the same breath, struggling students rarely have as much confidence as their higher-achieving peers, which results in a vicious cycle of self-limitation. As educators, we... Read More
