One of the things I love implementing in my classes is group work, and this resource presents a short 'cheat sheet' for how to do group-work right - how to maximise that collaborative opportunity.

Thanks Lynne. This is a great visual tool to use to remind myself to consciously flip the classroom and lessons to a more student-centred approach. I love the concept - Learner choice and voice .

Giving students the power to choose how they learn and how they express what they have learnt is a great way of keeping students engaged. This teaching method can facilitate the 4 C’s of student learning (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity). When I reflect on my own positive experiences as a school student, I think of the projects, classes and assignments where I had the freedom and responsibility for my own learning. Loved this article.

Classrooms are no longer the place for merely 'chalk and talk'. Education in the 21st Century is now a collaborative journey between student and educator, where learner choice and voice is integral to the process.
If students feel like a passive bystander in their education, they will act accordingly. Yet, if their individuality is taken into consideration, and they are included in the education process, they are more likely to take charge of their learning and actively participate.

I've always had a hankering for the ibrand rather than the android and that may rest solely on the fact that I spend most of my time on the apple products. But given the continual updates on the iOS devices I see no reason to change. The more the tools in the kit are refined for instinctive use the easier it is to have just the one set of tools.

This is pretty nifty. You can export as a Word or PDF. I'd like it better if they also provided an embed code so you could place it into your class website, but you can't have everything!
