A Whole New Learning Experience: Take Two
i blogged matrix year about some of our ninth graders reading a mainly new mind by daniel pink, and discussing it not only with each other, but with to the ground 30 educators from around the world and daniel pink himself. well, some of this year’s ninth graders in anne smith’s and maura moritz’s classes are going to get the opportunity to do it again.if you’re really interested, you can look over all my previous posts no matter what our experiences with this outline. but, in a nutshell, the students are reading the book and discussing it in class using the fishbowl method with live blogging. in beyond to the students discussing physiognomy-to-appear and live blogging, approximately 30 educators from around the globe will be “dropping” in to exist blog as well. they’ll be able to hear and see the in-assort discussion via webcam (and mebeam), and will simultaneously live blog along with the outer society of students in the classroom (using coveritlive this year). twice during the design, once while discussing chapter 4 (design) and then again at the break off of the book with the culminating discussion, the students require have the opening to interact with daniel pink via skype.the students make be doing a variety of activities along with the discussions, but their culminating discharge make again be a wikified research paper. a wikified analyse critique has all the components of a traditional research paper, but on a wiki so that it can include hyperlinks, audio, video, etc. it also contains other wiki pages with their research and interconnected items, as well as the ability for others to communicate them comments and feedback along the way and on the settled composition (although since it’s a wiki it’s not at all “final”).if you’re extraordinarily a glutton and hankering to be aware more about this, we have a video produced by dana levesque, one of the amazing instructional technology specialists in our district. it gives you a feel for what it looked like pattern year, including some short interviews with students, some longer interviews with anne and maura regarding their preparation in behalf of and reaction to this project, and an interview with yours in truth talking about some of the technology aspects of this project.
