When students think back about a lesson or unit and reflect on which strategies help them progress towards proficiency, it lets the teacher know what worked and what did not. Reflecting on learning promotes personal growth, professional growth, and meaningful change. ]]> 2017-06-02 22:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175037893 kenger1 https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175038161 "Reflection is indicative of  deep learning, and where teaching and learning activities such as reflection are missing… only surface learning can result."

For example, journaling and the 3-2-1 strategy. Each of these strategies guide students as they think back on a lesson or unit about what the learned and what helped them learn the most. ]]> 2017-06-02 22:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175038402 kenger1 https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175038839 Journaling is a great way for students to reflect back on a certain lesson and write down what they think is important about a specific topic. Students can write in notebooks that build throughout the school year, adding notes with each lesson that can easily be looked back on. A way to incorporate technology into the journaling strategy, teachers could use the app SeeSaw for students to take pictures of their journal notes to add to a personal online portfolio. ]]> 2017-06-02 23:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175038839 kenger1 https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175038966 This strategy includes 3 different steps. The first step requires students to answer 3 questions about what they learned during a specific lesson. Next, students must explain 2 things about the lesson that helped them. During the final step, the students must explain to the teacher which strategy used during the lesson helped them learn the most. This strategy helps students think back and reflect, and also promotes class discussion. Technology could be incorporated during this lesson by using Todaysmeet.com. Each student would have a tablet or computer, and they would type and share their responses to each of the 3 steps in the strategy. When they share their response, it will be projected on the IWB so that the class can see and discuss. The teacher can save the feed to use for future planning. ]]> 2017-06-02 23:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175038966 kenger1 https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175039060 Reflecting on learning allows the teacher to see what works for his or her students. Reflection from students encourages them to develop feedback for their teacher, which he or she will use while planning future lessons or interventions. Reflection allows both teachers and students to see strengths and weaknesses, and helps them think about how they can improve.]]> 2017-06-02 23:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kenger1/36rnhx2cwop6/wish/175039060
