5 tips for substantially improving blog engagement | #Blogs #Blogging #WritingSkills #DigitalSkills  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Every business values their company blog for different reasons, but in order to accomplish any worthy goal, you need to ensure your blog has a high level of engagement with readers. Having said that, are you doing everything possible to increase blog engagement with your readership?

Increase blog engagement in 5 easy steps
Blog engagement is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it allows you to reach your target audience and have considerable influence over them. Secondly, it enhances your SEO standing and enables you to prove to the search engines that your content is valuable and worthy of prime real estate in the search results.

“Google notices whenever blog visitors leave comments and posts as well as when they post a response,” SEO Service Agents explains. “For the search engines, they will see that your blog is active and very much alive.  Not to mention the fact that your rankings in the SERP’s will benefit from mentions of your content on social media platforms.  The end result is that all of this will generate more visitor traffic. And that is exactly what you are looking for.”

But what exactly is the goal? In other words, what does it look like for a blog to have high levels of engagement? From a big-picture perspective, you want blog visitors to read and engage with your posts, comment and share on social media, and return to your blog regularly to check for new content.

The big question is, how? How do you get readers to do these things on a steady and ongoing basis? While there are numerous strategies you can use to get the desired results, here are a few keys that leading brands have discovered over the years.

Learning With Nature | Curiosity | Engagement | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
In our time of fast-paced, exam-pressured, high-tech culture, where does learning with nature have a place?

When adults are asked to recall a time in their youth when they were happiest, invariably they refer to times spent outdoors and with friends.


Our clever screen world keeps us busy and on the go, but does not help us to communicate, feel loved, gain the satisfaction of the quiet mind, and relax. Time with others in nature does exactly that -- and much, much more!

Not Giving Up On a Student

How can teachers and administrators help students overcome negative attitudes about school and learning?

Gust MEES's insight:

How can teachers and administrators help students overcome negative attitudes about school and learning?


Shannon Lim 's curator insight, February 28, 2015 10:25 AM

The author of the article tried to understand the student's situation first before approaching him and was determined to change the negative attitudes of the student. Despite failing to convey his main message to the student, the author kept trying so as to make sure the student understands. Hence, i find that teachers who put in their best to nurture a student are respectable. Those teachers will not give up on a student no matter how bad is he/she and will persevere to change the negative attitudes of the students. This positive change would be a great benefit to the students in the future. Therefore, teachers should not give up on a student. If they give up, the negative attitudes of the student may remain unchanged. 

Also, i think that in order to help students overcome negative attitudes about school and learning, a teacher should understand the student and talk to him/her nicely so that they know that you care for him/her.

There are a ton of different ways you can employ video in your classroom, from video feedback to educational videos about specific topics, there is a lot of possibility out there. Even if you know that this way and that are options for including video in your classroom, you might still be wondering why you should be using video in the first place.

This might be a good resource to check for important people, to find out who's birthday is on the day and also to find out the music of the day to publish for community managers and persons who want to bring in a bit of entertainement and fun into educational tweets as well...

 

I would suggest to check back the data on Wikipedia as well before publishing! Anyway, do this with what ever other resource you find on the Internet...

 

It might be a good resource for YOUR students as THEY like music and so YOU could use it to engage them for certain projects with this website...

A different pattern of student engagement: Mature distance students at university

A different pattern of student engagement: Mature distance students at university | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Mature students have:


- Equal levels of satisfaction


- Deeper learning strategies


- more committed / motivated


- Different pattern of interaction (less interaction with other students)


- Better able to manage distance (have the life skills and time-management skills


- Experience a lot of role and financial pressure, alienation and anxiety


- Lack of skills (don't necessarily have the up to date skills required...yet another thing to learn in the first year)


- Overload of first year


- Knowledge conflict


The definition of student engagement for this study comes from the OSSIE: "The time and energy students invest in educationally purposeful activities, and the effort institutions devote to effective engagement".

 

===> The scales of engagement include academic challenge, work integrated learning, active learning, enriching education experiences, and staff and student interactions. <===

Curious learning | Learning with 'e's

Curious learning | Learning with 'e's | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The trick is not to rely on new technology. That doesn't necessarily impress younger students. The solution for engaging children and sustaining their curiosity is to engineer situations where they will be challenged, surprised and yes - kept in a constant state of suspense.


Sometimes it is as simple as changing the format of a lesson, or altering the layout of a classroom. Sometimes it is to introduce a new approach or problem where students need to take an alternative role. I often create chaos and uncertainty in my lessons. People are not comfortable with this, and will do anything to resolve it into something meaningful. The answer is always, always keep them guessing - and then send them out confused, if you have to.

Could we change action verbs, activities and App selections for each Cognitive Domain Category as well as specialised PD for teachers on how to design interactions with those apps to achieve Redefinition in the SAMR model. Also PD about how to motivate these learners. Hmmmm could that be a great learning design model to help these learners? .... what do you think?

Kids Like Blues: Using Music and Video to Rock Your Classroom

Kids Like Blues: Using Music and Video to Rock Your Classroom | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
When I started playing blues songs for my first grade students, I never imagined I was introducing a fantastic launching point for thematic, standards-based teaching.

 

Lyrics are practiced daily in large and small groups to get the correct pitch, modulation, tone, syllabication, meter and phrasing. Children even sneak practices during free time. After learning the lyrics, students with creative dance skills choreograph the piece (without my help!) and we rehearse more. Then, it is a "gig" at a talent show, street fair or community event.
