EDU 776/LIS 724 Week 2 Frameworks

 Where do I fit? Image Source: LucidChart For this week, I decided to use the Triple E framework. (The e's are for engagement, enhancement, and extension with all for learning goals.) Triple E spoke to me because it is straightforward and the ideas appear easy to incorporate. The Triple E website provides a great deal of information including tools, a blog, and information on professional development. Even though it was easy for me to pick a framework, the challenge I have this week is that I am not in education. Where do I fit? I thought about this question for a bit.

EDU 776/LIS724 Week 4 Active Learning

Image
  Image Source: View Sonic  For this week, I read the blog post "The American Revolution…It’s Like We Were There!"   I think this project is an excellent example of active learning.  The teacher for this project used many types of activities to involve her students.  First, the classroom was decorated with photos and posters about events and individuals from the American Revolution.  Students were able to see and read these items every day in their classrooms.  Second, students learned to use PicCollage and were able to add themselves into some very famous portraits.  Third, through the use of AudioBoom (a podcast service), students were able to listen to various readings including the reading of the Declaration of Independence.  Students not only learned about the American Revolution, but they also learned some new technology skills. If it is at all possible, teachers should use active learning in their lessons.  Active learning he...
