I don't particularly like buffet restaurants as the cost typically entices me to eat what I feel is at least the equivalent of the price, and I leave feeling horrible, physically and financially.
A buffet of ideas, however, comes with much less implied pressure, and the only cost is time to read, observe, or think. With that, here are a few ideas that have generated higher interest through the year, a few that are gaining momentum, and a few that are fresh:
1. Physical Movement to Aid Learning, as opposed to this first-hand experience
- "Brain research confirms that physical activity--moving, stretching, walking-- can actually enhance the learning process"
- "Movement gives learners a new spatial reference on the room."
- learning is "longer lasting, better remembered, more fun, age appropriate, and intelligence independent" and "reaches more kinds of learners"
2. Beginnings and Endings; the most memorable impressions
3. The Value Formative Assessments and How they Aid Differntiation
- How do we know when students understand?
- How do we know when to change instruction?
6. 15 Effective Ways to Use Google Docs in Class, including:
7. What to Look for in a Classoom, from Alfie Kohn
8. Resource: OpenEd, Common Core videos, assessments, games, tasks, and plans
- free service that can invite students into the fold of sources as well
