Kahoot
With student devices or computers, Kahoot can become a great way to get an assessment on how your students understood certain material. Kahoot will allow you to create a quiz, and have students take the quiz question by question by entering your class code on their device. You pick…
This kid, I tell you.
I’ve seen adults play Kahoot and love it.
Have you joined the ed tech revolution?
The digital revolution is transforming the way students learn, and educators who apply technology to nudge students toward deeper learning are leading the charge. Are you one of them?
INDIANAPOLIS-The Indiana Department of Education today released the results for the 2012-13 new teacher evaluation models that link teacher performance to compensation based on test scores. The positive data paints an optimistic picture for public school teaching in Indiana. More than 87 percent...
Modifying the Flipped Classroom: The “In-Class” Version
Advantages
Besides the fact that it avoids the home-related problems of a traditional flip, the In-Class Flip has other advantages as well:
The teacher can observe whether students are really watching. When attention starts to stray, the instructor can get students back on track right away. To boost accountability even more, try a platform like Educanon, which allows you to embed any video into an online multiple-choice assessment that you create yourself.
The initial exposure to the video content has a better chance to sink in. The teacher can answer questions with more immediacy. And for students who struggle, the instructor can send them directly back to the video for a refresher.
Hardware is (presumably) safer. There’s less risk of a device getting broken or lost if it remains in the classroom.
Education is what people do to you, learning is what you do to yourself.

This teacher offers a better way to evaluate her work.
“We fundamentally believe that in order for our species to advance—for humanity to get to the next step in development—that no one can be denied a certain level of education and information. If there is a curiosity it should be satiated.”

Every student has a talent that we can uncover if we keep our eyes and mind open. If we teachers were able to harness a fraction of the talents our students possess, we’d find enough creative energy to power our classroom for the entire school year.
Teachers as talent scouts (via gjmueller)
The corporate model of schooling relies on the unreasonable idea that higher test scores reflect improvements in education, writes Michael V. McGill.
Spot on. I want to share this with everyone who has told me that I’m “too smart to be a teacher” and that I should “go to law school to do something that’s actually important” with my life.
Worth the read.
I needed to see this, especially this weekend. Great read.
wow. I love this. There are only a few percentage of people who understand somewhat, and respect what teachers do; what good teachers do. But the majority do not understand, and of course it may not be their fault. However, immediately making a judgment before understanding is unfair, with any profession. . .
10 Questions To Ask Yourself When Implementing New Technology
The answer doesn’t have to be yes for every question, but the more boxes you can tick, the better!
Does it improve the teacher’s ability to personalize learning?
Does it offer potential for individual progress?
Does it improve student engagement and motivation?
Does it help teachers to to online testing methods?
Does it extend time and stretch resources effectively?
Does it extend the reach of effective teachers?
Does it improve teacher’s working conditions?
Does it decrease device costs?
Does it help students and parents adopt learning apps?
Does it help narrow the digital divide?
The NMC Horizon Report: 2014 Higher Education Edition report, launched on 3 February 2014, assesses emerging technologies for their potential impact on and use in teaching and learning within universities.
I’m OK with not being an amazing teacher every day. It’s simply not sustainable. The myth of the super teacher is a problematic narrative, a standard that’s unrealistic for all of us. I’ve learned during my 10-year teaching career that in order to thrive in this profession and remain positive and effective most days, I need to regularly ask myself a few questions. Here’s what keeps me fresh…
Here are seven questions to guide your thinking as you shape your classroom, school or district’s assessment toolkit.
How will you use the information?
What type of insight are you seeking?
Can the assessment measure multiple targets?
Does the assessment measure multiple targets?
Does the assessment meet content and depth of knowledge standards?
How do you ensure fair and accurate assessments?
How can this assessment engage students?
Awesome infographic for teachers to post and keep by their desks. Prior Knowledge Recall Infographic with great ideas. Love this.
(via How to Stimulate Recall of Prior Learning Infographic | e-Learning Infographics)
Here are the four:
Learning is fast
Knowledge is composed of isolated facts
Being good at a subject is a matter of inborn talent rather than hard work
I’m really good at multitasking, especially during class or studying
Stephen Chew writes a whole chapter (8 pages) on this and you can get the ebook for free.
