It shows what strategies are good for previewing content with students that allows them to also activate their prior knowledge along with learning the new content. There are multiple strategies and it shows how to utilize them with paper, but also gives suggestions of making them digital. ]]> 2019-03-28 00:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/345940431 kcapps3 https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/345945372 These are questions that the teacher gives to guide the students before discussing the content. These questions are to stimulate thinking and activate the prior knowledge of each students. 

You can incorporate technology by using a class response tool where students respond to your questions using a clicker or by using a survey tool or even a google form to have the students answer and get instant feedback. ]]> 2019-03-28 00:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/345945372 kcapps3 https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346132222 Skimming is just a strategy where students skim through the pages of notes or textbook and look only for the most important parts. 

A way to do this with technology is to utilize a presentation tool and demonstrate to the students what it means to skim. You can show them how important it is to look for the headings, subheadings, bullet points within the text, and any bolded or highlighted words because they are deemed important. This should give the students a general idea about the new content. ]]> 2019-03-28 13:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346132222 kcapps3 https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346140287 KWL charts are where a piece of paper is broken down into 3 columns. The first is K, which is know: students list anything they already know about the content. The second column is W, what to know: this is where students write down things they want to know as they are learning about the content. The last column is L, which is learned: students jot down notes as they are learning about all of the new things they have learned throughout the content. 

You can make this digital in a number of ways. The first that comes to mind is a google slide where students are inputting information on a KWL chart. You could have an entire class slideshow and each student has a slide. Then students could go and make comments on other students slides about the want to know column because perhaps another student heard the info or already knew the answer to their want to know question. ]]> 2019-03-28 13:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346140287 kcapps3 https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346157758 These are just simply graphic organizers where students fill in information while learning about the content. You could show a video about something and they could have to fill in different information on the graphic organizer that is answered in the video. 

Digitally there’s a website called Wizer and it’s basically a digital worksheet. It has the ability to fill in charts and such. You could use that to create a visual of the water cycle, for example. Students the label the information as they learn about it. Sometimes I’ve created Venn diagrams on a google doc and students use an application called DocHub to type on the diagram. They can also add any other notes they want underneath the diagram. There are a lot of options for creating an organizer digitally or using a digital supplement: video, presentation, etc. while students fill in a paper organizer. ]]> 2019-03-28 14:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346157758 kcapps3 https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346170295 This is where a teacher asks students questions to get them thinking about the upcoming content. The questions can be as simple as true/false questions or more complex where you ask students to write about their feelings or opinions on a certain topic. 

You can easily use a clicker system to have them reply to the true/false questions or any other polling tool. You could also have them respond to something on say a website like padlet where the whole class can see everyone’s responses and then you can have a class discussion. ]]> 2019-03-28 14:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346170295 kcapps3 https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346182152 This is an activity to help student debt become familiar with the vocabulary words in the new content. In our reading textbook we have vocab cards that show the word, definition, and a picture. We use these so they have something to associate the word with. 

I liked the idea of using a wordle website for students to create a visual when given a list of the vocab words. You can also use quizlet to study the words and it allows students to play different individual games along with playing a whole class version of a competitive group game. ]]> 2019-03-28 15:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346182152 kcapps3 https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346185963 I think any of these strategies would be easy to implement in the classroom whether with or without technology. Some would be easier with technology if you’re 1:1 rather than having to share devices, but most of them are still easy to implement. My suggestion is to make sure that youve researched the strategy, different tools you can use, and how you want to use them before diving into the strategy in your classroom. ]]> 2019-03-28 15:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kcapps3/pvu90r7y4r8l/wish/346185963
