Blog Post 11

     Brian Crosby "Back to the Future", shared what his 4th grade class was doing to learn science. He was able to turn non-English speakers in high-achieving class. This class was able to complete a project-based assignment by sending up a balloon with a camera and radio to observe the different layers of the atmosphere. Afterwards, each student had to view the video and write a story based on what they observed. This video is great for teachers to view. Mr. Crosby went from his students not knowing just about anything to being able to do a project based assignment.

     Paul Anderson "Blended Learning Cycle", he is also  known for "Bozeman science" his videos are so eye catching and been viewed over 1 million times. Mr. Anderson explains how he uses blended learning cycle in his science classroom. This is a great video for anyone to watch and learn a different technique of learning. In his videos he is explaining each module and diagram, while talking at the bottom in a box.

       Mark Church "Making Thinking Visible", is a 6th grade teacher. Mr. Church ask is students to group together to discuss a video about the origins of society. To better understand he has each group discuss a puzzle and come up with a headline that summarizes what it is all about. The students continue to trade ideas and work together until the end of the video. Mr. Church is summarizing what collaboratively is all about. Collaboratively is very important in social skills and helps students engage with each other.

    "Sam Pane 4th Grade", is a great video to show how to safely use the internet. This video also shows how students share with each other before sharing with the whole group. This is a great idea to help with errors the student may have made.

    "Project Based Learning", is a video that shows how you can engage learners and help the students to understand the subject better. They combined History, English, and Information Processing in this video. This is a wonderful video to show to teachers who has never used PBL in the classroom.

  1. Erica I thought the balloon technique was very creative. The students didn't know the end result but it was neat to see how all those procedures correspond to real hot air balloons. The science experience of taking the air out of the can and being evaporated by fire. How cool. Great post!

  3. Be sure to answer the driving question rather than summarize the videos.
