Revealing Deep Ideas.

We usually dislike watching the decomposition process because it takes a long time. We don’t have the patience to watch from beginning to end as we lose patience and interest. 

In the event, the breakdown process will begin when the tableware materials come in contact with the moisture of vegetable quiche and salad.  So the breakdown of table  will occur quite quickly.  As the guests spectate the decomposition of materials, it may remind them of the various things that break down.

The more I ponder the idea of breaking down, I come to realise that it’s such a powerful, busy, complicated, and natural process. We don’t think about it daily as we are usually cooped up in our rooms with our devices. If we pay attention to the process and methods in everyday life, we realise that deterioration happens in most of our surroundings with time.

The Process of Breakdown Occurs in our Bodies.                                       For example, as people eat food, their bodies go through a process of digesting. “As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body. ” http://www.ibdclinic.ca/what-is-ibd/digestive-system-and-its-function/how-it-works-animation/ 

Mental Breakdown                                                                                       Often, we associate breakdown as the mental breakdown where we experience emotional stress to a certain degree. We’re unable to control our emotional outbursts of uncontrollable anger, fear, or helplessness. And we end up feeling burnt out.

Breakdown When Organisms Die When organisms die, they are decomposed by bacteria. Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere or water during the decomposition process.

Breakdown in Chemistry In chemistry, “decomposition is the breakdown or change of a material or substance (by heat, chemical reaction, or other processes) into other chemical compounds. “  “A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. This can be represented by the general equation: AB → A + B.”

 Synonyms of Decomposition                                                             degrading, decay, rot, going bad.

Technology is here to help.

For so many teachers across the country within an hour of finding out that we were closing school for two days which turned into two weeks which now likely will turn into the rest of this year and asked to pivot to completely remote learning.  For everyone this pivot has left our heads spinning.  

It took some time to process how I will teach the rest of Chemistry, Medical Interventions and a new course I just designed, Environmental Solutions. completely remotely.  How will I still allow my students to have hands on inquiry based lab investigations that require collaboration with their peers and construction of knowledge when we can’t do any of this together.?? That piece I am still working on... more to come on this...

So for now... I will remember... I love technology, it makes my life easier in so many ways.  So here is how I am currently leveraging technology in order to continue to teach my students remotely:

1. Google Forms as a Quiz. Google Forms can create automatically graded multiple choice quizzes that automatically import grades into the built in gradebook.  Additionally you can add feedback if the student gets the question wrong in the form of text, a picture or a video.  So when they get the question wrong a video of how to solve the problem pops up. I am creating and assigning reviews this way.  They are labeled as HW in my google classroom.    

Pro Tip: I have a subscription to Problem-Attic through my district which allows me to generate a quiz from a bank of Regents Questions.  It exports to a Google Form with key already generated.  It also includes an image of the question which is super nice for Chemistry.  

2.Flexbook 2.0 cK-12 is an online interactive textbook.  It has text with embedded videos and challenges.  It is also totally free! You can also assign problems from the end of the chapter.  I just created a class and assigned the Ecology chapter from the High School Biology Book for my Environmental Solutions Class. 

3. EdPuzzle! EdPuzzle is my favorite! It allows you to embed question into a video, and of course multiple choice grades itself automatically.  You can use any video, and they have a library of already created videos that other teachers have embedded questions into.  I screencast myself and ask leading questions.  There is a no skipping feature so everyone gets the lesson individually at their own pace.  Also I have way more information now than I did live to 28 kids in one room.  

All of these are tools that I will use in the coming years.  Invest in creating activities that you can use again, and let the technology do the grading for you.

Ensino participativo

Recentemente, li um texto sobre como os inovadores pensam. Dizia, entre outras coisas, que aos seis anos começamos a mudar nossa postura na sala de aula. Notamos que respostas “corretas” são mais valorizadas pelos professores do que as criativas, e por isso começamos a entregar mais o que encontra boa acolhida.

Interessante como o conceito de criatividade pode ser pouco valorizado na sala de aula. Por isso, acredito que as novas tecnologias representam uma evolução na dinâmica do ensino. É necessário. O modelo em que há um mestre e outras pessoas que recebem a informação perdura há anos, sem mudanças significativas.

No novo cenário, o professor passa a ser, cada vez mais, um facilitador do conhecimento. A educomunicação – seja na internet ou através de outros meios, como programas de rádio e TV – é uma maneira eficiente de estimular um processo de educação imersivo. Com isso, o professor vira um facilitador do conhecimento. Ele não aponta, necessariamente, respostas, mas sim propõe questionamentos.

O conhecimento passa a ser mais participativo. Nesse processo coletivo, o aluno deixa de ser um agente passivo, desenvolvendo uma postura ativa de aprendizado.

Especificamente na internet, pode-se utilizar blogs, podcasts, videocasts, projetos colaborativos através do wiki, videoconferências, redes sociais, material multimídia e interativo, comunicadores on-line etc. O e-Learning também surge como uma possibilidade cada vez mais aplicada por instituições de ensino.

Como estamos no início do processo, é natural que essa experiência seja ainda ligada aos projetos já conhecidos. Com o tempo, devem surgir abordagens mais adequadas aos novos meios, que usem todo seu potencial.

Mesmo o livro como conhecemos sofre mudanças. Há, por exemplo, o o FlexBooks, e-books didáticos em plataforma aberta que podem receber novos dados de professores e alunos. A iniciativa é da CK-12 Foundation, uma organização sem fins lucrativos. A Wikipédia também tem um projeto similar, o Wikibooks.

Entretanto, nenhum segmento é uma ilha. Em momentos de transição, há quem ache que será contemplado pelos novos ventos, assim como também surgem as viúvas das benesses atuais. Nesse ano, a greve da USP contou com uma reivindicação curiosa: pediu-se o fim da implantação dos cursos à distância.

"If you give a student a Chromebook"

We created Chromebooks to help people, students included, achieve anything. These shareable, versatile devices connect people to the internet, to each other and to quality apps and extensions. Give a student a Chromebook and you give them endless access to information and resources. By learning to find answers to their questions, collaborate with others and work independently and effectively, students build digital skills that will help them succeed throughout school and for the rest of their lives. 

So, give a student a Chromebook and they will… 

Find answers and solve problems

Chromebook apps can help students navigate the online world with confidence while improving digital literacy and comprehension skills. These apps have recently been updated for back to school: 

Epic!, the world’s largest digital reading platform for kids, has a massive library of books, audiobooks, videos and quizzes to help children develop a love of reading and learning. Teachers can now log in with Google single sign-on, add students with Google Classroom and download student reports into Google Sheets.

CK-12 offers a free, personalized learning platform spanning K-12 math, science and more. Their customizable FlexBook® Courses foster interactivity and continuous feedback, and now include new reports showing class level insights for Google Classroom assignments. 

DOGO media teaches literacy, reading fluency and global awareness through current events, books and movies. They’ve also launched Spanish-language resources that integrate with Google Classroom. 

TIP: Head to the Chromebook App Hub, where you can find educator and admin preferred apps, hear from app developers directly for up-to-date information, and get real classroom inspiration from teachers. Educators interested in apps on the App Hub should connect with their IT admins who can evaluate purchasing options. 

Learn alongside peers 

Thanks to built-in accessibility features and an array of assistive apps, students with learning differences can develop new strategies. Check out these apps with recently updated features and new integrations: 

Capti Voice is a reading support tool. Its new Classroom integration allows teachers to accommodate different learning needs and make tests accessible to more students. 

Texthelp offers assistive technology for reading, writing and language learning. With a new WriQ Classroom integration, educators can view dashboards with writing metrics by class and monitor student progress.

Don Johnston’s curriculum, learning and evaluation tools, are designed to support all types of learning styles and abilities. For tools that integrate with G Suite/Classroom and support dyslexia and dysgraphia, check out the Snap&Read and Co:Writer extensions.

ViewSonic’s myViewBoard is an interactive, cloud-based whiteboard teachers can use to engage students. And it now integrates with Classroom and Drive.

BeeLine's reading tool is a Chrome extension that improves reading fluency and reading comprehension by displaying text using a color gradient that draws the reader’s eyes from the end of one line to the beginning of the next.

TIP: Once settings on a Chromebook are customized for a student, they’re applied every time they log in on any managed Chrome OS device. Bookmark this handy guide about Google’s accessibility tools for the classroom. 

Connect and collaborate in new ways

Virtual communication and collaboration are skills that students will use throughout their lives. With Chromebooks, they can cement these skills as they collaborate with peers in apps and sites or built-in ones like Docs, Sheets and Slides. Here are a few recently-updated apps that teachers can use to engage students while fostering communication and collaboration:

Remind, a communication app designed to connect parents, guardians, educators and others who matter to student success, has integrated connected accounts in Classroom and Drive. 

Kami, a PDF and document annotation app that fosters collaboration, now integrates with the Classroom grading page. Kami assignments are categorized to support Classroom’s topics.

Nearpod, a platform for creating engaging lessons or using existing ones, now lets you embed and edit activities directly within Google Slides.

TIP: Different devices work for different types of students. A rugged laptop, for example, can work well for young students. Touchscreen tablets with stylus compatibility and cameras in the front and back, on the other hand, work for students conducting science experiments or creating artistic masterpieces. With different options, you can customize the outside as much as you customize the inside. 

Schools pick Chromebooks because they are versatile, affordable and easy to manage. When you give an admin a fleet of Chromebooks with the Chrome Education Upgrade, they can easily and securely deploy and manage any number of devices from one cloud-based console. And they no longer need to worry about updating devices. Chromebooks update automatically and have multi-layered security, so—like students—they continue to improve over time. Read more about why admins love Chromebooks, and explore Chromebooks built for education and a range of apps that transform them into learning devices.

5 Favorite Apps for Summer Learning

Summer has a reputation for being nonstop relaxation, never-ending play, and a time when students stay as far from “learning” as they can get. For educators, those long empty weeks result in a phenomenon known as “Summer Slide” — where students start the next academic year behind where they ended the last.

“…on average, students’ achievement scores declined over summer vacation by one month’s worth of school-year learning…” (Brookings)

This doesn’t have to happen. Think about what students don’t like about school. Often, it revolves around repetitive schedules, assigned grades, and/or being forced to take subjects they don’t enjoy. In summer, we can meet students where they want to learn with topics they like by offering a menu of ungraded activities that are self-paced, exciting, energizing, and nothing like school learning. We talk about life-long learners (see my article on life-long learners). This summer, model it by offering educational activities students will choose over watching TV, playing video games, or whatever else they fall into when there’s nothing to do.

Here are favorites that my students love:

Flipgrid

App; freemium

Flipgrid is a video discussion platform where teachers (or even students) record a discussion topic or question to their FlipGrid account. Students respond to the teacher and then to each other with a short video, a recording, an attachment, decorations, or any number of other formats. Responses are collected into a grid format that’s easy to view and fun to read.

This is a private site that requires no student login or registration. No one can access the questions or answers except those included in the teacher’s dashboard. And, it’s nice that teachers can optionally moderate student uploads to confirm appropriateness.

  Activity Suggestions

Once a month, add a question to the Flipgrid. It can ask where they’ve gone this summer, who’s visited them, or what books they read. If they have a summer book to read, ask how far they are. Students will then record their answers and view those of classmates. A fun way to inspire participation is to include students from the next year’s class so students get to know each other over the summer.

CK-12 Resources

App, Chromebooks, or any Windows device; free

The CK-12 website offers high-quality learning on a wide variety of STEM subjects delivered as videos, articles, FlexBooks (curricula), simulations, flashcards, activities, images, or lesson plans. Topics include math, science, writing, spelling, health, statistics, SAT prep, engineering, technology, astronomy, English, history and more — over 5,000 topics in seventy languages. With a focus on high school students, it is also great for passionate middle schoolers and college students looking to fill holes in their learning.

Activity Suggestions

This is perfect for a summer “Genius Hour” where students devote a certain amount of time each week to researching and pursuing a topic of interest to them. Or, share this site with high school college-bound students preparing for future classes or who need Independent Study for high school credit. 

Flippity

Add-on; free

Flippity is an amazing free add-on that morphs Google Spreadsheets from a data aggregator to a multifunctional fun learning tool. If you have a Google account, you can add it for free. Once added, you can use it to create flashcards, quizzes, tests, spelling words, track progress, track badges earned, award certificates, for tournament brackets, and more. Every time I look, they’ve added more options. These are teacher-created and then shared with students exactly as you would any other Google document.

Activity Suggestions

Every week, share out a new Flippity project that students can finish while on vacation. Perfect choices for this would be a crossword puzzle, word search, hangman, Memory Game, MadLibs, Typing Test, a Quiz Show, and Mix and Match. Additionally, student accomplishments can be tracked using the Badge Tracker, Progress Indicator, or the Certificate Quiz.

Book Creator

Chromebook; free

Book Creator is one of the most popular new tech tools of the 2017-18 school year, enabling students to create and share books of any length in a variety of formats (including comics). Start by creating a teacher account, setting up the class, and inviting students to join. Your class can include up to 40 books (with the free account). Students create ebooks with images, text, video, audio, voice recordings, stickers, background, and more. Once finished, the book can be emailed or opened in iBooks, Google Play, iTunes, or any number of other applications. It can also be downloaded to Google Drive and read or shared from there.

This amazing tool is simple enough for most age groups 2nd grade and up.

Activity Suggestions

Have each student create a book of something that happened over the summer — or their entire summer. Save it to the class Book Creator account so students can read classmates’ books and keep up-to-date on what everyone is doing in these nonschool weeks. You might want to include future classmates in the account so they can get to know the friends they will be spending the next year with. 

GCFLearnFree Tech Basics

App or desktop; free

GCFLearnFree.org provides up-to-date quality tutorials in the essential skills high school students and adults need to live and work in the 21st century. This includes Microsoft Office, reading, math, Work and Career, and more than 180 topics, 2,000 lessons, 800 videos, and 55 interactives and games.  Learning modalities also include full courses, infographics, and more. No login or registration required–just get started. Students access the GSFLearnFree website, click through to the topic they want to learn, and then go through the lessons at their own pace, in their own time, wherever they best like learning. To track their progress, have them set up a free account (with email and password) so the site can track completed lessons and provide a transcript that can be delivered to the teacher when school returns.

Activity Suggestions

Drill down to the tech skills students may not have for college and career by encouraging them to take GCFFree’s Tech Basics over the summer. Or, have high school students access the GCFLearnFree Work and Career activities. These include writing cover letters and resumes, money basics, job success, and more. 

***

If you have a class filled with future lifelong learners, let them fly this summer with one or more of these exciting activities.
