They have great resources as well as great articles. I read this article about the 4  key conditions for students success. It spoke about the Science of learning and how it is most  important to teach students the right info. at the right time. The next component was the use of adaptive technology. This tech will analyze what a student knows and what they don't know and then create an individual learning pathway for them through this program. However the next component is classroom instruction and how this tech is not suppose to replace the classroom teacher but to enhance and help guide their instruction. The last component was effective leadership stating that the most effective teachers are the ones that are supported through leaders and have the support and training to be successful with this adaptive technology.]]> 2017-04-27 15:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168658855 daviskk1 https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168659090 2017-04-27 15:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168659090 daviskk1 https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168659115 2017-04-27 15:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168659115 daviskk1 https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168659218 2017-04-27 15:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168659218 https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168660860 https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/11/the-most-important-lesson-schools-can-teach-kids-about-reading-its-fun/281295/

I found this interesting article on Twitter that came from the Atlantic. The article is about how having students choose what they would like to read is more beneficial than assigning books for students to read. They found that " young people with whom we worked spoke of their reading pleasure with remarkable sophistication—and their pleasure supported the intense and high-level engagement with texts that schools seek to foster." Play Pleasure, inner Work Pleasure, Intellectual Pleasure, Social Pleasure are the reasons why participants were more articulate about what they read. The key is " If we want students to embrace reading now and always, then we need to keep at the forefront of our attention the rich, complex, and profound pleasures of reading."]]> 2017-04-27 23:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/168770827 https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/171483808 C.Caragher

Now that I'm diving back into phonics, I found this a good article for some perspective on current viewpoint and research summary.  Understanding why we do these things and how they work makes it more sensible, and less "one more trendy thing" to add on. I particularly liked the insight into why this impacts struggling readers.]]> 2017-05-12 13:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/grosswaldm/cohortvirtual/wish/171483808
