Identifying Similarities & Differences
●
Four processes:
●
●
●
●
Comparing
Classifying
Creating metaphors
Creating analogies
●
Helps student restructure their understanding of content
●
Encourages students to make new connections and correct
misconceptions
●
Use graphic and symbolic representations to give students
support and structure
Identifying Similarities and Differences
●
Microsoft Word
●
●
●
●
●
SmartArt graphics
Insert table
Clipart for analogies and
metaphors
Microsoft Excel
Mapping software
●

● Classifying Example
Summarizing & Note-Taking
●
●
●
Enhance students' ability to synthesize information and
distill it into a concise new form
Students need specific summarizing and note-taking
techniques
Microsoft Office for summarizing and note-taking:
●
●
●
Use Track Changes in Word to teach summarizing
technique
Use Auto Summarize to compare student summaries with
computer summary
PowerPoint for combination notes (two-content layout)

Web Tools for
Summarizing and Note Taking
●

Reinforcing Effort
● Motivation plays a key role in the learning
process.
● Use a rubric and spreadsheet to track effort
and achievement.
● Students rate their own effort and record in a
spreadsheet.
● Provide students with grades for each task
based on criteria for assignment.
● Students enter grades in spreadsheet, then
create a graph to show correlation between
effort and achievement.
Providing Recognition
Provide recognition through:
● Digital student portfolios
● Blog
● Certificate templates
● Podcast
●
●
●
Audioboo http://audioboo.fm
Teachers, students, and parents can record podcast and
share with class.
Video messages
●
●
Voki http://www.voki.com
Similar to podcasting, create a video message to provide
recognition for students.
Homework and Practice
● Give students opportunities to deepen their
understanding of and proficiency with
content
● Communicate the purpose of homework and
practice
● Provide feedback to students
● Students need a lot of practice to achieve
mastery

Nonlinguistic Representations
●
●
●
Use linguistic & nonlinguistic representations of
content to increase understanding and retention.
To significantly increase learning, involve students in
creating nonlinguistic representations.
Simple applications:
●
●
●
Add clip art and photos to notes, vocabulary, word walls
Play video clips and slideshows
Use presentation software for lessons

objectives of a lesson or learning activity.
●
We do this with:
●
●
●
●
Essential Questions
Essential Skills
Rubrics
KWL
Setting Objectives
●
Digital learning goals are easily shared with parents and
easy to access later for progress monitoring, reflection,
and evaluation.
●
Electronic KWL
Example: http://bit.ly/kwlchart
●
Learning contract
Example using Google Docs Form: http://ow.ly/25sJw
Spreadsheet for results
●
Blog or Wallwisher for brainstorming
●
Post topic prior to lesson, unit, text reading, etc.
Setting Objectives
● Data and goal-setting
● Clickers

Generating and Testing
Hypotheses
●
Includes 6 types of tasks:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Systems Analysis (Predict what might happen if one part
of a system changes.)
Problem Solving (Focus on unstructured, real life
problems that may have more than one solution.)
Decision Making (Make a prediction and weigh it against
other possible alternatives.)
Historical Investigation (“What really happened?” “Why
did this happen?”)
Experimental Inquiry (Not only used in science!)
Invention (“Shouldn’t there be a better way to…?”)
