Research Beyond the Classroom by Monica Wheeler https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt I get the same question every semester: "When will I use this other than this class?" It is hard for me to make students realize how often they will use the research skills they learn in school. How often do you use research skills? What is one example for which you have used research in the past month? en-us 2017-04-21 18:23:22 UTC 2025-10-13 06:55:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Diskette.png Monica Wheeler monica_wheeler https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167565631 I use research frequently for work and personal reasons. I have a four year old foster son with a speech delay, so as soon as I got him, I started conducting research to figure out how I can best help him with his speech and development. I've had him for a while, but I continue to research and learn what I can to help him. I also Googled how to replace the sprayer on my sink. ]]> 2017-04-21 18:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167565631 Francis Schlude spuddz84 https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167648433 We've spent this last quarter at my elementary school doing research projects in our enrichment periods. My third graders have been doing an insect research project, and my first graders have been planning a vacation. I've taken the time to explain how to find appropriate sources, distinguish helpful sites from junk sites, and it's been a fun unit for everyone.]]> 2017-04-22 20:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167648433 I am constantly researching new ideas topics for best practices in my classroom. I love new information and ideas that are relevant to what I do every day. New information about the brain, and how young children develop it rapidly changing, and I like to keep up with what is best for them learning wise. I applaud you for conducting research to help your foster son. jennifera4 https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167675411 2017-04-23 12:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167675411 Charles Chaten cchaten https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167688801 I have to use research when finding what videos or tools will be best to teach my students. I had to research videos for Microsoft Access that would reach 12-13 year olds. It takes time and research skills to find that.]]> 2017-04-23 15:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167688801 Paula Weeks poj1957 https://padlet.com/monica_wheeler/tiunwv5w61dt/wish/167716595 Research is so easy now with internet sources and libraries on-line.
