-Allows teachers to give the students information
-Tends to be easier to plan for because there are less unknown factors
-Limits creativity 
-Many students do not learn well by listening to a teacher lecture ]]> 2018-03-12 17:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/240994198 What is Indirect Instruction? slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/240998646 -Indirect Instruction  is based heavily on student involvement. 
-Can often be used in addition to direct instruction as a way to practice skills taught in direct instruction.
-Takes more time because it often includes students to think and problem solve. ]]> 2018-03-12 17:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/240998646 What is Interactive Instruction? slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241012200 -Can be done in different groups 
-Involves each student reacting and sharing information and opinions

-Begins with students doing something such as an activity, project, or simulation and then reacting to and reflecting on the the activity and the learning that occurred from it 
-Can be difficult to arrange due to limited time, funds, or student ability. 
-Helps with remembering the information because the learning becomes an experience ]]> 2018-03-12 17:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241021589 What is Independent Study? slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241029172 -Used by a single student 
-Helps the students become more dependent on themselves
-Flexible strategy 
-Can be altered to meet the individual needs of each student

-Didactic Questioning: Questions asking who, what, where, when, and how in order to check understanding (Instructional Approaches).]]> 2018-03-12 18:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241056304 Examples of Indirect Instruction in the classroom slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241106872 -Concept formation: given information students infer and develop an understanding of the topic by grouping information and relating examples to make it relevant to them.
-Inquiry: student led instruction through asking questions that they have about the topic without being led in any particular direction by the teacher's questions (Instructional Approaches).

-Question and answer: all students are given the opportunity to think about a question that was asked and come up with and answer. All students are encouraged to participate and the teacher varies the students that are called on so each student feels they are getting a chance to express their ideas.
-Small group work: can be helpful to improve the student's social skills and showing how their individual strengths work together to complete a task or assignment (Instructional Approaches).]]> 2018-03-13 23:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241667422 Examples of Experiential Learning in the classroom slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241668556 -Simulation: students are presented with a hypothetical situation and are required to work through it in order to learn something in the end. This can be done one a computer or in real life. Helps with retention of information because the students are actively involved (Instructional Approaches).]]> 2018-03-14 00:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241668556 Examples of independent study in the classroom slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241669054 -Choice Activities: giving students a broad framework of the task that needs to be accomplished and then allowing them to complete that in whatever way they feel they can do their best work allows students to learn how to be independent in their learning (Instructional Approaches). ]]> 2018-03-14 00:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241669054 What is Collaborative Learning? slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241670910 Collaborative learning is where students are grouped together and work with one another in order to do something.

While doing this they are working together and going over the information taught during the lesson. ]]> 2018-03-14 00:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241671313 slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/zzw276eke98n/wish/241672466 -Instructional Approaches: A Framework for Professional Practice .
