Educational Leadership:Multiple Measures:Teaching with Interactive Whiteboards

iwb whiteboards teaching leadership send2blog

The study results indicated that, in general, using interactive whiteboards was associated with a 16 percentile point gain in student achievement. This means that we can expect a student at the 50th percentile in a classroom without the technology to increase to the 66th percentile in a classroom using whiteboards.
In addition, three features inherent in interactive whiteboards have a statistically significant relationship with student achievement.

- learner-response device
- use of graphics and other visuals to represent information
- the interactive whiteboard
  reinforcer
- —applications that teachers can use to signal that an answer is correct or to present information in an unusual context.
- in 23 percent of the cases, teachers had better results without the interactive whiteboards
- some potential pitfalls
- Using the voting devices but doing little with the findings.
- Not organizing or pacing the content well.
- Using too many visuals.
- Paying too much attention to reinforcing features.
- They should group information into small, meaningful segments before they start developing the digital flipcharts.
- Teachers should think through how they intend to organize information.
- Digital flipcharts should contain visuals, but those visuals should clearly focus on the important information. Also, no single flipchart should contain too many visuals or too much written information.
- After asking a question and getting student responses using voting devices, the teacher should typically discuss the correct answer along with the incorrect answers, making sure to elicit opinions from as many students as possible.
- When using reinforcing features like virtual applause, teachers should make sure that students focus on why an answer is correct or incorrect. Although these features can produce high engagement and certainly enliven the atmosphere in a classroom, they can also be distracting if used without a clear focus on essential content.

Could Texting Be Good for Students? - On Education (usnews.com)

"Texting is here to stay." Hmmm... Heard that before. Good read, though.

send2blog texting read-this

The average 13- to 17-year-old sends 2,900 texts a month, according to the market research firm Nielsen.
Forward-thinking teachers say the informal writing style that defines text messages can be incorporated into class lessons. And a new study from California State University researchers has found that texting can improve teens' writing in informal essays and many other writing assignments.

- A finding from the CSU study supports that concept: "Texting-speak is not a mangled form of English that is degrading proper language but instead a kind of 'pidgin' language all its own that actually stretches teens' language skills."

BioVisions

The potential of multimedia in the area of biology education has yet to be fulfilled. Indeed, multimedia as a means of imparting biological information is years behind its use in other areas such as entertainment. BioVisions is meant to close this gap by combining the highest quality multimedia development with rigorous scientific models of how biological processes occur. In addition, this new generation of science visualizations are not meant to simply be simulations or mirrors held up to reality, rather they are designed with a specific pedagogical goal in mind.
