Free Worksheets and Printables - A Teacher's Bag of Tricks. Do Students Know Enough Smart Learning Strategies? | MindShift | KQED News. Lenny Gonzales What’s the key to effective learning? One intriguing body of research suggests a rather gnomic answer: It’s not just what you know. It’s what you know about what you know. To put it in more straightforward terms, anytime a student learns, he or she has to bring in two kinds of prior knowledge: knowledge about the subject at hand (say, mathematics or history) and knowledge about how learning works. Parents and educators are pretty good at imparting the first kind of knowledge. We’re comfortable talking about concrete information: names, dates, numbers, facts.

But the guidance we offer on the act of learning itself—the “metacognitive” aspects of learning—is more hit-or-miss, and it shows. Research has found that students vary widely in what they know about how to learn, according to a team of educational researchers from Australia writing in this month’s issue of the journal Instructional Science. What is the topic for today’s lesson? Lenny Gonzales. Memory experiments. Memory Experiments Here are some experiments and games to test your memory.

Vad innebär läsflyt? Flyt i läsningen innebär att högt läsa en text i lämplig takt, med korrekt avkodning och med inlevelse och förståelse. Läsaren kan dela in texten i meningsfulla enheter, fraser och satser. Läsaren vet var man pauserar och var man lägger betoningar. Att läsa texten snabbt och felfritt kräver också att man klarar den minnesbelastning som längre meningar förutsätter. Läsflyt förutsätter automatiserad avkodning Automatiseringen av avkodningen är därför central för läsflytet.

Småningom går läsutvecklingen vidare och läsaren går över till en ortografisk läsning där hon inte längre ljudar enskilda bokstäver i ord, utan läser hela ord eller orddelar. Den här processen kan jämföras med att lära sig köra en bil med växelspak. Flyt och förståelse Flytet har ett starkt samband med läsförståelsen. Hur och när uppnås läsflyt? I kapitlet om läsutveckling presenteras tre teorier om läsutvecklingens gång. Start | Interbib. Stories & Props. Describing photos (comparing, contrasting and speculating)

I had the chance to catch Shelly Terrel this weekend and learned about an easy and fast tool to use. Blubbr is a super easy site that makes "games" which basically ask questions based on short chunks of YouTube videos.

Since I am talking about pronunciation on Wednesday (If you haven't joined the eltmooc yet there's still time!) I took an older comedian sketch by the Two Ronnies. The sketch is based on a fun encounter of a clerk who can't understand what a customer wants. It is a great way for students to see how pronunciation (and listening) are important to everyday exchanges AND the use of humor of which I am a huge fan. If you laughed a bit, and you feel like your students would enjoy it, then I think you'll enjoy Wednesday's class. Spel som tränar hjärnan. Spel som tränar hjärnan.
