Extractions: On one of our other pages, I have suggested some projects for the classroom and/or for staff development. What I want to do here is just put together a simple list of ideas that might act as a springboard for ways in which you can incorporate multimedia in your classroom. Please note that I said "incorporate," not "teach." If the focus is the notion that a teacher will have to stop everything to focus on teaching a software package alone for several weeks, it isn't going to happen. The list of "additional" items to be crammed into the curriculum seems to get longer. Let's shift that focus to where the multimedia authoring software becomes a tool for communicating - ideas, thoughts, learning, questions. Instead of thinking of eZediaMX as an "add-on," ponder for a moment what happens in the classroom when eZediaMX becomes the integrative environment. Picture your students in your mind. With the opportunity to use a multimedia authoring environment, which of your students, that you've been trying so hard to reach, might suddenly become engaged in their own learning? What would it be like if the energy for learning came forth from them? What would the long-term implications be of a child who currently has no interest in school becoming involved and excited about their learning?

Extractions: W elcome! This region of the Active Learning Practice for Schools site, The Thinking Classroom, is all about the teaching of thinking. It is a place where critical and creative thinking count! The Thinking Classroom holds that the quality of students' learning depends on how well students think about their work. For instance, students who consistently tend to connect ideas to things they know about, seek hidden explanations, or think about the strengths and weaknesses in their thinking will develop deeper understandings of subjects across the curriculum than those students who don't. Thus, the Thinking Classroom is committed to the following beliefs: back to top Mission

What would it be like if the energy for learning came forth from them? What would the long-term implications be of a child who currently has no interest in school becoming involved and excited about their learning? ASCD (http://www.ascd.org) has just published a new book for educators who are wondering what this new classroom experience might be like. The book, "Increasing Student Learning through Multimedia Projects," written by Michael Simkins, Karen Cole, Fern Travalin, and Barbara Means is a small, friendly volume that looks at this topic from a teacher perspective. They are sharing what has been learned from years of practical experience garnered by real teachers who decided to give it a try. Their advice is keep it simple, but what's great is they talk about how to do that. For those who haven't had a chance to see multimedia authoring in action in a classroom, this is a friendly place to start. There's also a cd of good information that was published previously - "Project-Based Learning with Multimedia" - that is also from ASCD.
Extractions: An electronic newsletter for the science education community November 2004 Using Classroom Videos as a Vehicle for Teacher/Researcher Dialogue The research study Improving Mathematics Teacher Practice and Student Learning through Professional Development Read an overview of the study Using Videotapes for Teacher Reflection The two seventh grade instructors mentioned earlier focused on lessons related to symbolic equations and the notion of change. They were concerned that the representations in their textbooks led students to attack problems procedurally once they had learned the strategies, rather than having those strategies help them to develop better conceptual understanding, as intended by the textbook. Their questions were threefold: Do the "tools" used by the curriculum become algorithmic when used repeatedly?
