Aims of Learning Activities in the Blog mvannatta https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603441878 Active learning techniques were employed in these sessions to engage students in reading and reviewing books, as well as learning how to give each other useful feedback.]]> 2023-05-24 15:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603441878 5. How this might be used in higher education mvannatta https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603444491 This could be adapted almost directly for college students who are reading a text. I think this would be a useful start for the book analysis assignments I have in one of my classes that asks students to examine the types of arguments authors are using, the nature of the data presented, the basic content of an author's claims, and how the material relates to the student's life. These prompts could be incorporated into audioboom recordings as a first part of the assignment and students could listen to each others' thoughts as a prelude to writing a formal paper. ]]> 2023-05-24 15:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603444491 6. Another student feedback tool mvannatta https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603444979 In listening to the podcast Cult of Pedagogy that was part of class tools, I learned about the Peer Studio tool, which could also be useful in helping students learn how to assess each others' work and give feeback]]> 2023-05-24 15:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603444979 3. Active Learning Activities included mvannatta https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603449396 Students used Audioboom to record reviews of books they had read
Students used PicCollage to design covers for their reviews
Students provided feedback to each other regarding their reviews
Students received a lesson on quality feedback and practiced sorting feedback into categories (useful, neutral, nonsense) ]]> 2023-05-24 15:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603449396 4. Why is this active learning? mvannatta https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603454167 In creating book reviews, students were not simply receiving information from the books or about the books, but were directly engaged in discussing content, assessing content, reacting, evaluating, and organizing information about the books with both spoken words and also with images and design
Students interacted with each other and each others' creations by directly examining and critiquing and providing feedback to one another
Students didn't just hear about what constitutes good feedback but worked together to analyze and sort feedback examples into categories, collaborating with each other and engaging both in spoken word and in writing]]> 2023-05-24 15:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mvannatta/ouxyzrvez25dwjls/wish/2603454167
