Again, some instructions very useful for those who are beginning in Curation  for Education.

Thanks.

Digital curation includes the up-keeping, safeguarding and enhancing of digital data throughout its duration.

La curation est aussi utilisable au cours !

One of the buzzwords in education today is rigor, but what does that mean? This post shares seven myths about rigor, providing a deeper look at each one if you click through. What are these myths? Three are below.

* Is asking students to do a lot of homework a sign of rigor? Not if it is busy work, or if it leads to burnout. Although parents may define it as rigor what do you think?

* Rigor is not for everyone. How do we help students if we request less of them? Rigor may not be the same for each student but each student should be asked to reach their highest level.

* Standards alone take care of rigor. The Common Core Standards tell us they will increase rigor, but it is the instruction that will make this happen, not the standard.

Much more information on this issue is available in the post.

Very true. A must read.

Fantastic website from Notre Dame helps instructors (and students) design effective media-based assignments. Great examples and how-tos for inspiration.

Wow denna sida var sååå bra. Jag förlorade mig själv på denna sidan idag! :))) 

Awesome collection of ideas and exemplars...

This pdf file looks at "differentiated instructional strategies that included digital pedagogy and 21st Century skills." There are five major sections which include:

* Content - What Students Need to Learn

* Process - How Students Learn

* Product - How Students Demonstrate what they Know

* Environment - How Learning is Structured
* Recipe - Suggestions on how to put it Together

Each of the sections above also include:

* Guiding Focus Questions

* Digital Pedagogy which relates to the specific area

* Resources which support the digital pedagogy

This is a work in progress with the goal to create a website in the future. Additional areas to be covered include "Dimensions or Learning and Literacy demands."

There are many great resources in this as well as guiding questions that you may find valuable.

Beth's summary is a good one. Some food for thought. This thorough and thoughtful study includes a variety of digital tools as options.

This is the final post in a series of five that explored STEM, PBL, and the Common Core and it focuses on resources for Project Based Learning units. "By searching through STEM subjects in these sites’ databases or directories you can come up with a PBL unit to use, remix, or possible implement a lesson from."

An extensive list of resources is provided with short descriptions so you have a sense of what you may find.

A handy quick chart for 32 websites based on a chart previously published by the same company 'Educational Technology and Mobile Learning' which can be found here: The Ultimate EdTech Chart for Teachers and Educators.

There are four websites for each of the eight different learning areas:

1. Languages
2. Maths
3. Science
4. Physics
5. History
6. Social Studies
7. Arts
8. Music

Une liste intéressante d'outils, qui mélange cependant des outils de curation "automatique" (l'outil fait le tri entre les informations) et curation "manuelle", où l'usager fait son tri.

How can check lists help students? Below are a few of the ways suggested by this post. Click through to read all of them.

* A task-based checklists allow students to follow steps providing guidance to successful completion of complex tasks.

* Checklists help with metacognition. They help students "become aware of their learning process."

The post also provides five resources to use checklists in your course.

* Wunderlist

* List Weaver

* Pinterest

* TeacherVision.com

* ReadWriteThink.org

Remember that your check lists may change as students use them...and to ask students for their feedback as they may have ideas that you have not considered.

Why don't we get our students into the habit of making a list?

Teachers unite!

Brilliant, and highly useful!!
