The National Student Survey 2015 Free Technology for Teachers Classroom Assessment Techniques Lee Haugen Center for Teaching Excellence, Iowa State University February, 1999 What are CATs?

How do CATs improve teaching and learning? When CATS are used frequently, they can have the following impacts: For faculty, CATs can: For students, CATs can: What kinds of evaluations are CATs designed to perform?

47 Alternatives to Using YouTube in the Classroom . However, many teachers cannot access YouTube in their classrooms. That is why I originally wrote what became one of the most popular posts to ever appear on . That post is now fourteen months old and I've come across more alternatives in that time. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. iCue, presented by NBC News, features videos about history and current events. 22. 23. 24 & 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 22 Frames is a service that provides a central location for locating captioned videos for learning English and for Internet users who have hearing impairments. 22 Frames provides more than just captioned videos. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52.

Strategies | Think-Pair-Share Strategies for Reading ComprehensionThink-Pair-Share[Lyman, 1981] What Is Think-Pair-Share?Think-Pair-Share is a cooperative discussion strategy developed by Frank Lyman and his colleagues in Maryland. It gets its name from the three stages of student action, with emphasis on what students are to be DOING at each of those stages. How Does It Work? 2) Pair. 3) Share. Why Should I Use Think-Pair-Share? Because of the first stage, when students simply THINK, there is Wait Time: they actually have time to think about their answers. © 1998-present by Raymond C.
A SoTL Primer | Nancy L. Chick How many times did you introduce SoTL to someone new in the last year, and what did that introduction look like: a definition, a description, a metaphor, a citation, a workshop, a book, a website? I dream of a SoTL primer, a little anthology of key readings that would together provide some coverage, depth, and range of the field. I imagine a simple cover, a size that fits comfortably in my hands and lightly in my bookbag, lovingly worn pages with dog-eared corners and post-it notes throughout, and oh that book smell. On a whim one day, I emailed the following question to an unscientific sampling of friends and colleagues: If you were putting together a SoTL primer of 1 to 10 titles to introduce colleagues to the field, what would you include? I’ll put the full list on my SoTL Guide once it’s ready, but for now, here are a few highlights: So far, I’ve received 22 additional lists (plus mine). Compiling all 23 lists into a single bibliography, there are 112 citations. What’s your list?
