Close Reading Tips for Students

Close Reading Tips for Students | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - March 26, 2020 2:52 PM
Close reading is an essential survival skill specially now that we live in a data-saturated world where we are constantly bombarded by all forms of textual and non-textual stimuli. At its core, close reading is a metacognitive practice that allows you  to achieve a deeper understanding of complex texts. It is a methodically analytical process that aims at deconstructing both the surface and deeper meanings of a text through a close analysis of its language. Close readers pay attention to syntax, lexicon and linguistic cues that can help uncover the implicit import of a textual output.

Some Excellent Note-taking Tips for Students

Some Excellent Note-taking Tips for Students | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - September 12, 2017 10:12 AM

Note-taking is easier than writing your essay. But it is more complicated than simply listening to your professor or reading the assigned textbook chapters. So why should you bother?
The idea of note-taking benefits is based on the premise that a student cannot remember every word the lecturer says, no matter how attentive he or she is. It can be helpful for you in the following ways:
* Notes enhance understanding of the material forcing you to paraphrase it;
* Reviewing information commits it to long-term memory;
* It prepares you for constructing better arguments in your academic papers;
* Reviewing the notes helps to score higher results on tests and exams.

10 Ways to Retain More of What You Learn - InformED

10 Ways to Retain More of What You Learn - InformED | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.opencolleges.edu.au - November 24, 2016 2:28 PM
Although reading something once or twice and then remembering it for life would be ideal, the reality is that much of what we learn goes in one ear and out the other. In fact, research shows that within just one hour, if nothing is done with new information, most people will have forgotten about 50% of what they learned. After 24 hours, this will be 70%, and if a week passes without that information being used, up to 90% of it could be lost.

You did it—you’ve officially enrolled in an online course. Now comes the challenge of figuring out how to get everything you can out of it. Thankfully, there are a few surefire, research-backed strategies for success.

While you’ll want to ensure first that you’re comfortable navigating the course platform and understand the course details, the actual learning and studying part will require a careful consideration of how you, personally, operate at your best. Being mindful of your own learning habits is perhaps the most important key to succeeding in your online course.

Control Alt Achieve: Write Right with Google Tools | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.controlaltachieve.com - February 23, 2018 10:14 AM

Writing is a skill that crosses all subject areas and all grade levels. No matter what you teach, it is critical for your students to be able to express their ideas clearly when writing.

There are a multitude of ways for students to improve their writing, including many technology tools that come from Google or that work with G Suite. With these technology tools, the writing process can be improved at all stages from planning to writing to self editing to peer editing to assessment to revising to publishing.

Over the years I have done many blog posts on tech tools for the various stages of the writing process. To make it more convenient, I have pulled together all of those different resources into this one post. See below for an overview of Google tools that can be used to help students and teachers through the writing process.

"With so many classroom research studies published daily, you can be forgiven for missing some. The techniques below are super-tactical and, for the most part, unsung strategies that you’ll be excited to try tomorrow.


Just remember two things. First, there are always limitations and nuances in research, so we suggest you click the links and dig deeper into the studies. Second, studies are just words without you—your application and adaptations give them power.
