Searching for information on the Internet can be extremely challenging for our students. This is widely due to the sheer amount of information that is currently available out there. A lot of teache...
Beth Dichter's insight:
You assign students a research project. Many students go to Google, type in a question (without giving much thought), and often become overwhelmed with the amount of information available. Is this a familiar scene? Think back and make one change, instead of using Google have them use a database? Is that a significant shift? This post provides a series of steps, taking you through a number of ways you might proceed with a research project and adding in complexity. Scheer begins by explaining a common research project and moves on through a number of areas: * What is understanding? * Understanding Searching with Technology * Stages of Research * Putting This All Together * Conclusion Do you have your students do research projects? Do you find that you are not satisfied with the quality of work being done? This post provides an excellent foundation to help you revamp your process and provide your students with skills that they will use not only in the classroom but also in the future, in both their personal and professional endeavors.

Re-framing the stages of research to help students manage the volume of information on databases and the internet. PLAN – Identify what the problem is and the questions that you are going to ask. STRATEGIZE – The route that you are going to take to search the web for information about your questions. EVALUATE – The sources of data that you are using for credibility, accuracy and currentness. TRIANGULATE – Compare your sources of data against one other.

The hard truth is people have to be able to read and write, or they’re going to be at a severe disadvantage in life. Did you know that "93 million American adults have limited reading and quantitative skills," that "literacy is tied to better health, employment and correlates to children's literacy." This infographic provides a picture on illiteracy in the America.

Students (and everyone else) spend a vast amount of time online. We leave a digital trail of breadcrumbs and establish our digital selves by sharing, commenting, and communicating like never before. Digital citizenship has been the topic of #edchat on Twitter and in the news. But what happens when a classroom of students are tasked with understanding what digital citizenship means to them?

"The ultimate goal of teaching is to do just that – teach, not stand up in the front of the room and talk. But sometimes it’s easier to talk than to teach, as we all know, especially when we need to cover a lot of material in a short amount of time. We hope students will understand... The problem is, we rely on these tests to measure understanding, and then we move on. Few of us take the time to address weaknesses and misunderstandings after the tests have been graded."
Beth Dichter's insight:
How do you go about checking for understanding? Exit slips may be too late to correct misunderstandings. This post provides 21 suggestions on ways to check for students' understanding. A few of them are listed below. Click through to the post for more information on them as well as additional suggestions. * Avoid yes/no questions * Ask students to summarize * Misconception check * Peer instruction

This post begins to look at the Sixteen Habits of Mind (developed by Art Costa) using the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. model. The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. model splits the habits of mind into: * Sensorial * Understanding * Control * Cognitive * Exact * Supple * Silly This post focuses on the "Control" habits, which include persisting, managing impulsivity and taking responsible risk. Each habit is looked from the perspective of a student and as a teacher. This is the first post of a series. The next post will look at the habits under cognition.

Are you looking for inspriation? These videos (many of which have been posted on this Scoop.it) will make you reflect on your teaching and perhaps try some new ideas. They are from 3 to 19 minutes in length and well worth a look. Listen to Sir Ken Robinson discuss Education Paradigms; Dan Pink about motivation; Teaching Teaching & Understanding Understanding; Changing Math Education; What Adults Can Learn from Kids; and five more.
