3 (bad) Reasons for Not Flipping | igage

https://igage.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/3-bad-reasons-for-not-flipping

Engaging minds in the internet age. 3 (bad) Reasons for Not Flipping. Leave a comment ». I am convinced that one of the largest barriers for teachers who are considering flipping their classroom, is the fear of doing a poor job at producing the resources/lectures/info for students to work on at home. Other barriers may be significant too, but this is clearly important. Here are three of the sources of this fear:. Teachers can be perfectionists. And why you should get over those fears:. Nobody is perfect ...

Daily Verse Project: About

http://dailyverseproject.blogspot.com/p/about.html

Genesis to Revelation in 365 days. I've noticed that there are not. A lot of simple Christian resources available on the Internet. Specifically, something is lacking that is easy to understand, and which walks people through the bible from start to finish. There are plenty of apps and websites which will take a reader through a bible reading plan, but these plans are still inaccessible for many because they expect too much reading and not enough quality contemplation. Easy to engage with. Is a blog where...

Testing effort, commitment, or something else (with written assessments) | igage

https://igage.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/testing-effort-commitment-or-something-else-with-written-assessments-12

Engaging minds in the internet age. Testing effort, commitment, or something else (with written assessments). Leave a comment ». I’m against written tests for the most part. That’s not what this post is about, but feel free to reply about that if you like! What is a test meant to assess? This is low-level thinking (Achieved level if you are in NCEA mode). Should it be the majority part of any assessment? So what should tests be assessing. Yes, to a limited extent, the knowledge of the student, but to...

Collaboration – 3 obvious ways it can help in education | igage

https://igage.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/collaboration-3-obvious-ways-it-can-help-in-education

Engaging minds in the internet age. Collaboration – 3 obvious ways it can help in education. Leave a comment ». You can give and receive encouragement to help get the work done. If you’re feeling discouraged, sometimes all it takes is a positive word from a friend or colleague to give you a lift in energy and focus. That might be the difference between giving up and finding that creative spark to overcome. You can learn from others who can see your mistakes when you can’t. The Internet makes collaboratio...

Assessing Effort? (Should we be doing this?) | igage

https://igage.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/assessing-effort-should-we-be-doing-this-10

Engaging minds in the internet age. Should we be doing this? Leave a comment ». I’ve just been pondering whether we should be assessing effort. I mean, most of the tests that we see reward students who put in a lot of time in memorising details. The more time spent memorising the better their results. Don’t get me wrong, I think memory is a great thing to develop as a skill in itself, but is it really that important that we force every student to work on it? Some professions require a high level of memor...

Engaging minds in the internet age. Future Cell Phones and Portable Computing Devices. Leave a comment ». I’ve been wanting to write about this future concept for some time. It’s super exciting, definitely coming, and the technology already exists to demonstrate how it will work. A fully functioning device might even already exist – it’s been that long since I first saw and thought of this. And, technology moves so fast now that I’m not keeping up. So what is it? Let’s take it further…. You have implants...

Exams vs. Assessment | igage

https://igage.wordpress.com/2012/06/06/exams-vs-assessment

Engaging minds in the internet age. Exams vs. Assessment. This post looks at some observations of students undertaking exams and how we can use at assessments to make them worthwhile for us and our students. Students panicking about unimportant details such as the correct teacher code. Students missing the obvious solution (write the name in full – even a poor attempt will get the paper to the right teacher). Students asking, despite the obvious clues, whether they are allowed to write on the papers.
