posted in education educational technology tagged with cross curricular experiential learning maker education makey makey microbit professional development student voice technology integration the first days of the school year it s about the learners not the content with 3 comments too many classes all grade levels begin the school year with getting down to academic business starting to cover content discussing expectations regarding academic requirements giving tests and other academic information provided by the teacher to the students in a mostly one way communication the human or social element is way too often disregarded i believe that all classes regardless of grade level including through graduate school should begin with focusing on having the students make connections between themselves and the educator and between one another i want students to learn about one another in a personal way i want to learn about my individual students so my instructional strategies can be more personalized and tailored to their needs and interests beginning class with a focus on connections rather than content gives learners the following messages you are the focus of the class not me you are important as a learner in this class you will be expected to engage in the learning activities during class time you will be an active learner you will be expected to do collaborative learning during the class time i as the class facilitator will be just that a facilitator i will introduce the learning activities but you will be responsible for the actual learning i will get to know you as a learner and try to help you find learning activities that are of interest to you from my post beginning the school year it s about connections not content two things that i believe needs to occur at the beginning of the schools year get to know the learners as individuals with unique backgrounds interests strengths weaknesses establish a learning community where all learners are seen as having value in our classroom getting to know learners one of our primary goals at the beginning of the school year should be to get to know our students this is important for several reasons first the better we know our students and the more they know we know them the more invested they become in school also a dynamic and vigorous learning environment is built on relationships when we create strong connections with our students we create a learning environment where risk taking and collaborative learning can take place finally the better we know our students the better we can help craft learning experiences that match who they are knowing our students is fundamental to real differentiation 6 strategies for getting to know your students to put into practice what i discussed above i am going to have my gifted 3rd 6th grade students do the following hyperdoc starting with our first meeting together autobiography download link to the google doc https docs google com document d 1pi54qmzvoe0x6nww6gkse2mfsuleqfbq6wygknb4aec edit usp sharing using a hyperdoc such as this has the additional benefits it leverages the use of technology which consistently is of high interest high engagement for my learners it is a choice board choice boards allows students more freedom with a choice of activities allows students to work at their own pace promotes independence and responsibility differentiate learning with choice boards it supports several of the iste standards for students empowered learner students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals informed by the learning sciences digital citizen students recognize the rights responsibilities and opportunities of living learning and working in an interconnected digital world and they act and model in ways that are safe legal and ethical knowledge constructor students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others creative communicator students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms tools styles formats and digital media appropriate to their goals https www iste org standards standards for students building a learning community along with getting to know my students having them get to learn more about their classmates and hopefully assisting them get to learn more about themselves community building activities are important in my classroom it begins the first minute of the first day of the first week of school and continues throughout the entire school year from columbia university community building in the classroom is about creating a space in which students and instructors are committed to a shared learning goal and achieve learning through frequent collaboration and social interaction adams wilson 2020 berry 2019 mcmillan chavis 1986 research shows that when students feel that they belong to their academic community that they matter to one another and that they can find emotional social and cognitive support for one another they are able to engage in dialogue and reflection more actively and take ownership and responsibility of their own learning baker 2010 berry 2019 brown 2001 bush et al 2010 cowan 2012 lohr haley 2018 sadera et al 2009 community building in the classroom and from ascd a growing body of research confirms the benefits of building a sense of community in school students in schools with a strong sense of community are more likely to be academically motivated solomon battistich watson schaps lewis 2000 to act ethically and altruistically schaps battistich solomon 1997 to develop social and emotional competencies solomon et al 2000 and to avoid a number of problem behaviors including drug use and violence resnick et al 1997 creating a school community i ve written several blog posts about team building activities i ve used with my elementary students and often use again with them as 1 they really like the activities and 2 there is almost always more to learn even in repeat activities note team building activities or group initiatives are quite different than ice breakers the group of students are presented with a challenging problem that require cooperation communication and creativity it is the challenge that my students love team building with elementary students yes there are mounds of curricula students must master in a wide breadth of subjects but
