From globaldigitalcitizen.org - December 6, 2017 9:51 PM


Here are some great self-assessment questions that will help you with fostering valuable growth mindset principles within your learners.


The notion of students assessing themselves is difficult for many educators to get around, but they’re warming to the idea. If our students learn to ask the right self-assessment questions and keep themselves accountable, the results in learning improvement can be amazing.

Tina Jameson's insight:
Included with this article is a clear infographic which would be great to use with middle school+ students AND to even as a tool to reflect on our own progress with tasks.

What We Cover in Class is Less Important Than What We Discover: Search vs Discovery

What We Cover in Class is Less Important Than What We Discover: Search vs Discovery | General learning capabilities | Scoop.it
From edtechreview.in - June 19, 2015 1:11 AM
What we cover in class is less important than what we discover for ourselves.

Via EDTECH@UTRGV
Tina Jameson's insight:

In the digital world - search engines filter out 'new discoveries' and restricts your information via algorithms that are based on what your profile - with limited choices usually dominating the search results.  This article looks at the importance of libraries and the roles they play in broadening our expectations, and providing us with more extensive options to discover and expand our learning journey.

Note-taking: A Research Roundup :: Jennifer Gozalez

Note-taking: A Research Roundup :: Jennifer Gozalez | General learning capabilities | Scoop.it
From www.cultofpedagogy.com - September 21, 2018 12:29 AM

"Every day, in classrooms all over the world, students are taking notes. I have my own half-baked ideas about what makes one approach better than another, and I’m sure you do too. But if we’re going to call ourselves professionals, we need to know what the research says, yes?

"So I’ve combed through about three decades’ worth of research, and I’m going to tell you what it says about best practices in note-taking. Although this is not an exhaustive summary, it hits on some of the most frequently debated questions on the subject.

"This information is going to be useful for any subject area—I found some really good stuff that would be especially useful for STEM teachers or anyone who does heavy work with calculations, diagrams, and other technical illustrations. Of course, there’s plenty here for teachers of social studies, English, and the humanities as well, so everyone sit tight because you’ll probably come away with something you can apply to your classroom."

 

Jim Lerman's insight:

 

An exceptional summary of key research on the topic. Succinct practical, and with numerous links, this post is a must-read for every educator starting in about grade 4 up through graduate school and adult ed.


Via Jim Lerman

Fake News Checklist

From library.cqpress.com - June 19, 2018 2:02 AM
The internet is rife with fake news, some preposterous on its face and some wrapped in a deceptive cloak of credibility. It has wormed its way into the national discourse through bogus “news” outlets and through social media. Reputable fact-checking sites have helped put the lie to many of these stories, but fake news persists in ways that can make it challenging for students to separate fact from fiction – and for teachers to help students understand the difference.
Tina Jameson's insight:
A PDF from CQ researcher that offers good guidance on identifying the fakers!

One Gut Check and Four Steps Students Can Apply to Fact-Check Information

One Gut Check and Four Steps Students Can Apply to Fact-Check Information | General learning capabilities | Scoop.it
From ww2.kqed.org - November 2, 2017 10:09 PM

A new approach seeks to equip university students with the tools of fact-checkers.


Check for previous work: Look around to see if someone else has already fact-checked the claim or provided a synthesis of research. [Some places to look: Wikipedia, Snopes, Politifact and NPR’s own Fact Check website.] 


Go upstream to the source: Most web content is not original. Get to the original source to understand the trustworthiness of the information. Is it a reputable scientific journal? Is there an original news media account from a well-known outlet? If that’s not immediately apparent, then move to step 3. 


Read laterally: Once you get to the source of a claim, read what other people say about the source (publication, author, etc.). The truth is in the network. 


Circle back: If you get lost, or hit dead ends or find yourself going down a rabbit hole, back up and start over.


Via EDTECH@UTRGV
Tina Jameson's insight:
I particulary like the advice on the Gut Check - that if you feel any strong emotion to what you ready (anger, sadness, joy etc) STOP before you hit like / send / share. (You are probably being manipulated).
