Kids Like Blues: Using Music and Video to Rock Your Classroom

Kids Like Blues: Using Music and Video to Rock Your Classroom | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
When I started playing blues songs for my first grade students, I never imagined I was introducing a fantastic launching point for thematic, standards-based teaching.

 

Lyrics are practiced daily in large and small groups to get the correct pitch, modulation, tone, syllabication, meter and phrasing. Children even sneak practices during free time. After learning the lyrics, students with creative dance skills choreograph the piece (without my help!) and we rehearse more. Then, it is a "gig" at a talent show, street fair or community event.

Bienvenue dans l'Univers du Mieux Apprendre....

Bienvenue dans l'Univers du Mieux Apprendre.... | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Le site du mieux-apprendre, concept cher à Bruno Hourst, qui vous parlera de mieux apprendre, d'intelligences multiples, de jeux cadres de Thiagi, de topogrammes et de bien d'autres choses...

 

Gust MEES: je travaille depuis 8 années selon ce concept pédagogique et je le recommende ! Je connais personnellement Bruno HOURST et je l'ai fait inviter pour le compte du Ministère de l'éducation au Luxembourg il y aquelques années...

 

Ma remarque personnelle : Howard GARDNER (intelligences multiples) + Daniel GOLEMAN (intelligence émotionelle) + motivation + créativité + "engagement" et vous avez la formule explosive pour un "mieux apprendre" et un apprendre avec joie, qui fait plaisir au formateur ainsi qu'aux apprenants et qui est un catalyste (une fusée...) pour l'apprentissage... surtout dans la formation d'adultes et des dames... (8 années de pratique le confirment...)

 

                           ===> A win-win situation!!! <===

Social media has become an essential part of most people’s everyday lives, from checking Facebook and Twitter to posting blogs, Pinterest listings, and uploading YouTube videos.

A different pattern of student engagement: Mature distance students at university

A different pattern of student engagement: Mature distance students at university | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Mature students have:


- Equal levels of satisfaction


- Deeper learning strategies


- more committed / motivated


- Different pattern of interaction (less interaction with other students)


- Better able to manage distance (have the life skills and time-management skills


- Experience a lot of role and financial pressure, alienation and anxiety


- Lack of skills (don't necessarily have the up to date skills required...yet another thing to learn in the first year)


- Overload of first year


- Knowledge conflict


The definition of student engagement for this study comes from the OSSIE: "The time and energy students invest in educationally purposeful activities, and the effort institutions devote to effective engagement".

 

===> The scales of engagement include academic challenge, work integrated learning, active learning, enriching education experiences, and staff and student interactions. <===
