It is learning." gorhams93 https://padlet.com/ihorner1/e4e2kiyhtelmw0oh/wish/2300354074 Students now have a much shorter attention span and so they require different approaches to learning than previous generations. "...by having the students physically doing something, it creates more of an understanding of that particular process than if they were just passively learning about it..."

Gallery walks/chalk talks: Texts are posted at stations around a classroom and students are expected to visit each station to read and analyze these texts. Students will do this in small groups. This type of physical activity encourages collaboration and discussion.
2. White board meetings: Students have the ability to use personal white boards to discuss and display solutions to different problems. I have used this with my kindergartens as a way to practice their listening and writing skills.
3. North Pole-South Pole/Continuum: "This strategy is great for formative assessment or assessing background knowledge. Essentially, one side of the room represents one idea, and the other side of the room represents an opposing idea."
4. Musical Mingle: A game similar to musical chairs but instead when the music stops t  students must discuss questions with peers who they are standing closest too. This game is good to have students learn how to share ideas with their peers.
5. Stations: "Stations can be utilized for differentiation. For example, based upon students’ current writing trends, a teacher could place students at stations based upon areas they need to practice. Activities can be on paper, or they can be embedded digitally using QR Codes"]]> 2022-09-16 18:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ihorner1/e4e2kiyhtelmw0oh/wish/2300395400 Writing Activity For Language Classes ihorner1 https://padlet.com/ihorner1/e4e2kiyhtelmw0oh/wish/2300690142 https://www.inklestudios.com/

Gamification can cause learners to rely on extrinsic motivation. This is the mental condition that drives a person to behave a certain way or engage in an activity to win a reward or avoid a punishment.

Research around game-based learning shows this correlation between motivation, engagement, complex problem solving and other social and emotional skills. One of the more popular investigations is that of learning through failure and the shift from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. A student with a fixed mindset believes that intelligence is inherent and unchanging. A student with a growth mindset believes that they can change and improve their knowledge with effortful learning (Carol Dweck, et al.)

     The nature of learning through failure and mastery in game naturally lends itself to developing a growth mindset.

1. CREATE LEARNING ACTIVITIES THAT ARE COMPLEX
2. PREPARE STUDENTS TO BE PART OF A TEAM
3. MINIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FREE RIDING
4. BUILD IN MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISCUSSION AND CONSENSUS
5. FOCUS ON STRENGTHENING AND STRETCHING EXPERTISE

The challenge of designing good collaborative activities is ensuring that all students, even those who struggle, play an important role.
In collaborative activities, we want to ensure that students don’t just occupy the same physical space but that they share an intellectual space—that they learn more, do more, and experience more together than they would alone. As teachers, we can promote real collaboration by shifting our role from instructor to coach—promoting team autonomy, checking in on students and providing instant feedback, and helping them increasingly learn to work together productively to attain a common goal.

When set up well, though, group work taps into the power of collaboration.
Define individual success. The whole group succeeds or fails together, yes, but you should also establish expectations for individual contributions.
Teach students how to plan. Help students learn that planning involves setting a goal, listing tasks that need to be done, scheduling tasks, dividing labor, and gathering tools.
Teach students to self-evaluate. The group's plan helps the members stay on task.
Assess collaborative skills. When you assess group work, don't grade just the final product. Also grade the process that groups used to reach that outcome. Each of the expectations you established before the collaboration can play into assessment afterward. ]]> 2022-09-19 01:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ihorner1/e4e2kiyhtelmw0oh/wish/2302060978 Schoolyard Blog: Collaborative Learning Is Critical for Student Success https://padlet.com/ihorner1/e4e2kiyhtelmw0oh/wish/2302077244 Given the importance of collaborative learning to students’ development. When students discuss ideas, develop solutions, and create new products in cooperation with their peers, they take their learning to a deeper level—while acquiring skills that are critical for success in work and life.

-Collaborative learning helps students learn and practice social and emotional learning (SEL) skills such as listening, empathy, teamwork, and communication.
-It fosters essential workplace skills.
-It helps students learn the content more effectively.

* Study of collaborative learning in four high schools by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) found that students who had opportunities for high-quality collaboration reported higher levels of engagement, motivation, and self-efficacy. For black students in particular, high-quality collaboration also correlated with higher grades, regardless of their prior academic performance—suggesting that this learning strategy can help close racial achievement gaps.

2. Size the groups for maximum effectiveness
3. Teach your students how to listen to one another
4. Set the rules of language and collaboration
5. Make goals and expectations clear
6. Assign roles to the members of each group
7. Use real-world problems, not imaginary ones
8. Consider giving each group a different task
9. Play a game to get students warmed up
10. Evaluate each group on its own merit
Collaborative learning – the practice of breaking students into small groups to answer questions, work on projects and learn from one another – has become one of the strongest core philosophies operating in classrooms today.

Advantages:
- Students have more control of their learning
- It promotes student-centered learning and collaborations

Disadvantages:
- It requires more work on the front-end
- Highly relying on preparation and trust]]> 2022-09-19 03:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ihorner1/e4e2kiyhtelmw0oh/wish/2302239221 Project-based learning 111achem232425 https://padlet.com/ihorner1/e4e2kiyhtelmw0oh/wish/2302250755 Project-based learning allows student to actively engage with the real world.

The 'student-centered learning experiences' and 'spatial effect on engagement' improved after the use of an ILE model classroom.  

This type of classroom is conducive for group-work, collaboration, student-paced learning, s-s learning, and differentiated learning.  

It's the future of what our classrooms should look like in order to prepare students for 21st century workforce and new think-tank corporations.  The classroom should encourage project-based learning and 'makerspace'.  It also allows for a universal design style for all students to feel comfortable learning.

"If you’ve not heard of STREAM, it adds reading to STEAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). Libraries and schools use makerspaces for three purposes: to explore, learn skills, and provide a space for teachers to implement project-based learning (PBL) activities that connect the real world to the curriculum. Makerspace research highlights the importance of taking a holistic approach to learning and using a range of activities and learning environments. Connecting maker education to the curriculum builds opportunities to improve fluency and encourages readers to think deeply about texts."
