It was student-centered as students were gathering information from a variety of sources, a 21st-century skill, instead of being lectured at. It was interactive learning, and students were able to have choice in how their website looked and how they made their Thinglink. ]]> 2019-09-16 00:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384412525 lmietelski https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384413280 Lauren Mietelski: To add onto Jennifer's idea of recording themselves presenting their websites, I envision students posting links or embedding them onto a classroom website. Then students could be assigned or choose a classmate's site to critique and provide feedback for. Knowing fellow students are evaluating their work can motivate students even more to do a good job and take pride in their work. The teacher could give them the rubric to grade other students or the students could work with the teacher to create a rubric based on a student model of quality work. ]]> 2019-09-16 00:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384413280 faherty_sarah https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427175 Sarah Faherty: The Thinglink Illinois Project asked students to decide what information about the geography, economy and history of each region to include in their multimedia presentation after completing their research. ]]> 2019-09-16 02:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427175 faherty_sarah https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427367 The University of Minnesota Center for Educational Innovation came up with this great continuum for simple to complex active learning strategies. This is a great resource for seeing how to fit active learning into a lesson. https://cei.umn.edu/active-learning]]> 2019-09-16 02:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427367 faherty_sarah https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427433 I too think that an opportunity for students to reflect on their own work and gain feedback from their peers is important.  The Thinglink is a great tool to organize student research.  Perhaps students could have autonomy in how they want to incorporate it in their final project: choice of website, travel brochure, or documentary for example. Another idea is that students could work in JIGSAW groups to dive deeper into one region versus all of them.  Then they could present their region of expertise to the others.  Classmates could even vote based on their presentations where they would want to go in the region.]]> 2019-09-16 02:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427433 faherty_sarah https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427601 Students had autonomy in deciding which information about the geography, economy, and history of each region to include based on their interest.  Additionally, they were able to pick dream vacation destinations which appealed to their own preferences and made the research relevant to their own lives. Students explored the materials versus being passive receivers of information.]]> 2019-09-16 02:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427601 faherty_sarah https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427698 2019-09-16 02:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_jennifer2121/y5iuhq5o73hb/wish/384427698
