(Book: How to Solve it) What's the difference between a problem and and exercise? Most of our curriculum is exercised based and not problem solving based. ====== ||  || The art and science of teaching-Marzano/ Best practices for teaching: Applying the research based practices in the classroom/ gave a handout-rubric that teachers can use to evaluate themselves. The rubric is a 1-4 scale with 4 being the highest. Technology- Teaching the interacting generation We should not call kids the digital generation, rather the interaction generation. They interact with many sources of technology. Teachers can go to the Curriculum 21 website - clearinghouse of ideas/websites to use with kids organized into subjects. wordle can also be used as a tool for editing Also attended a session on RTI and looked at data points to see how kids move from tier 1 to 2 and the implementation of the intervention. Keep track of how much the students get their interventions and what keeps the student from getting it. ||  || www.surveymonkey.com... www.livebinders.com... www.cooliris.com... www.dropbox.com... www.slideshare.net books - The Strategic Teacher || - A site that publishes students' work - A free site that creates surveys in real time that allows for formative assessment or introduce a new topic (graphing). -An online way to organize bookmarks- - Allows you to search for photos and share photos - Allows you to download huge files - A site that has Powerpoints on varied and multiple topics Explains why and how to use various teaching strategies. ||  || link 2 Link 3 || Rigor and Quadrant D: real-world learning: Relevance of standards vs. relevance of student learning. Relevance is not just standards; it's the kiddos and their learning. Relationship with children: Legos give an opportunity to share and stretch your limits. "I"m not creative enough. I can't do this." Importance came through in the explanations and the pieces representations. "Build how you're feeling right now." Powerful in all realms of life. Robert Brooks: Draw a picture showing how you perceive your teacher. How can we teach children without a relationship with them? Students can go anywhere to get ideas and information, it's important for you to build relationships with the kiddos. Small moments to take time to get to know your students and they can get to know you . ||  || Carole Thomason: Differientiation in the Classroom; Learning Styles can be used but with caution. Educating the whole child . Students need to be safe, challenged, engaged and supported before tapping in to broader skills. Make sure their foundational skills are strong and solid before moving on to higher level skills. Backwards design big ideas . Teach and assess, create a learning environment, clear goals and know where students are in terms of their destination, adjust teaching so students reach goals. ||  || 2. ePub Bud || Will Richardson -- where education is heading -- Eight shifts for every classroom and every learner. Learning is changing. What's different -- the passion to learn. WE need to have a passion for learning. Shouldn't classrooms be mobile, networked, global, collaborative, self-directed, etc. kids want t connect with others who can help them learn. We have to teach digital citizenship and safety. Without sharing there is no education. We need to manage the information we share. We participate with information, not merely consume it. Who do you trust? How do you learn using the different technology tools? We need to shift to meet the learning needs of our students. ||  ||
 * Julie Hamilton (MSC) || TDVA /2nd Grade || legoeducation.us/LEGOsmart || Creativity important to help children be creative in problem solving . Home School in North Carolina - creativity and problem based learning. Gave a test to see how much creativity was used...5 yr olds use 98%, 10 year olds 32%,2% adults. Business world looking for people with creativity. In this school they introduced Legos (see link).There is a Lego program but very expensive. Give kids a challenge, kids build a model of their morning with Legos. Also use to tell about a scene from a book, tell about a character. Big Idea: it is a way for kids to show knowledge. Write a response then build out of LEGOS. Important piece is sharing. Share what they build and their thinking. Kid Box is a free app for iPad. Give a challenge such as build a duck you see how everyone will build it different. Quote from kid..."Thanks for letting us use our imagination again." The idea of making LEGOS a part of your classroom. You could also use Playdough, other media. Interactive thinking, LEGO website go to bottom to educators there are lots of great ideas. Rethink how you use LEGOS. Can also open source LEGOS to share with parents. Share with parents so they know why. ||  ||

 * Sheri McManus (MSC) || ATE/ 1st Grade || [|www.bigbrainz.com] (times attack is in here) || Went to the lego session as well - very fascinating, Creativity focus - it feels that it is missing so often when we push so much on the rest of the curriculum. Creativity helps the student to have enthusiasm for school - "What do the students remember about 1st grade?" Went to two math sessions - looking at the new standards, "where are the holes in our curriculum?" Miss Math session - change your thinking on math - what is important for students to focus on (place value); Book called __Number Talks__ - talking mathematics with students - how do kids think mathematically. Make it more intentional and daily so that students "own" it. Another book - __It Makes Sense! Using Ten-Frames to Build Number Sense__ to help with personal understanding of math and teaching it (has lessons in it; gives strategies of number facts not just memorization); Times Attack - free website - the district has this free right now for a year. Targets third grade multiplication, but addition is coming out - The BTC can set you up with login information - needs a username and password || Add more creativity in lessons intentionally and daily - more in mathematics subjects as well. ||
