ACTIVE LEARNING METHODS

Image
  ACTIVE LEARNING METHODS Source Image: Apprendoo I was to be a substitute teacher in a 5th grade class and I was nervous. The instructor had shared his plans with me at 7:45 am and I was still looking it over and trying the connect the projector for the morning meeting when the 5th graders started trickling in. Thank God they had two specials that day: PE and Music. Looking over the plans, though I noticed that in social science, we were to discuss the Transatlantic Slave Trade. And then I had an idea. I would use an active learning method to deliver the course today. Source Image: Anabaptist world and Met Exhibition and Museum of Fine Arts Boston Students today learn differently. Gone are the days when concepts were expounded in a one-directional way. The days of mental mathematics, daily dictations, and memorization. The modern student must learn with images , concepts, and collaboration. The scholastic method of learning with its “rational discussion and clear understanding”...

Accessibility in Libraries

Image
  Digital Accessibility in the Library Source Image: US Department of Education ALSC Blog When reading the materials this week about accessibility in the library, I was reminded of Chen (assumed name). Chen is a young boy whom I met when he was in 2nd grade. Chen had a challenging road ahead because he had limited sight.  Even though I was a substitute teacher and was not given Chen's exact medical condition, I could tell that while Chen was a bright and kind boy, what he needed most was that websites, the documents, the books, all the learning materials needed during the day to be accessible to him. Watching Chen, day in and day out, made me realize how important it is that our schools and libraries be accessible to all children at all times. It is that accessibility that makes us a democracy and the library a universal educator. For Chen, this accessibility meant that his classroom work computer was enhanced with a tool that allowed him to zoom in and out of the material the...

Mapping My Digital Space

Image
  Mapping Your Digital Space           Image Source: DigitalSpace.com As as self described reluctant technology user ( see my previous post ), if I am to be honest about my activities online, I would indeed break it into the four categories which are personal, professional, visitors, and resident. Our digital activities are much like our physical ones. How would we categorize our presence in our homes, churches, stores, libraries, gym, the movie theater, the bar or even the park where we take walks and strolls on beautiful days. Still, I was a little confused about the meaning of “resident” versus “visitor”. The V&R model aims at understanding “understanding how people use the web, and the differences between their approaches to online engagement”. A visitor merely uses the internet “as a series of tools and a pool of information ” while a resident “expresses him or herself and leaves a proof of his/her visit”. Image Source:Indu...
