How to End the Dropout Crisis | Edutopia
-
Dropping out is sometimes about students being bored and seeing no connection between academic life and "real" life. It's about young people feeling disconnected from their peers and from teachers and other adults at school. And it's about schools and communities having too few resources to meet the complex emotional and academic needs of their most vulnerable youth.

Multiple Intelligences
-
The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner,
professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of
intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes
eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in
children and adults. These intelligences are:
<!--mstheme--><!--msthemelist-->
<!--mstheme-->
<!--msthemelist-->
<!--mstheme-->Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):<!--mstheme--><!--msthemelist-->
<!--msthemelist-->
<!--mstheme-->Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")<!--mstheme--><!--msthemelist-->
<!--msthemelist-->
<!--mstheme-->Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")<!--mstheme--><!--msthemelist-->
<!--msthemelist-->
<!--mstheme-->Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")<!--mstheme--><!--msthemelist-->
<!--msthemelist-->
<!--mstheme-->Musical intelligence ("music smart")<!--mstheme--><!--msthemelist-->
<!--msthemelist-->
<!--mstheme-->Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")<!--mstheme--><!--msthemelist-->
<!--msthemelist-->
<!--mstheme-->Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")<!--mstheme--><!--msthemelist-->

A VoiceThread project has the potential to differentiate learning by providing a place where students with different learning styles can share their learning. Used as an assessment tool, VoiceThread projects give teachers a bird’s eye view into the thinking of their students, especially students who have difficulty communicating their learning through writing.

Media Literacy
-
Media literacy
empowers people to be both critical thinkers and creative producers
of an increasingly wide range of messages using image, language, and
sound. It is the skillful application of literacy skills to media
and technology messages. As communication technologies transform
society, they impact our understanding of ourselves, our
communities, and our diverse cultures, making media literacy an
essential life skill for the 21st century.
