Slaughter's Tech Moment
Marzano's 9 Instructional Strategies Enhanced by Technology
Strategies 7 - 9: Known to increase student achievement
Strategy #7- Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback
Establish a direction for learning and provide information about how well they are performing toward goal in order to improve practice.
What it can look like in a classroom!
Rubrics, Self-reflection, conferences, goal setting and tracking the goal, provide explicit guidance to how effort and mastery can be met, feedback that is criterion based, finding something to praise is important
1- Be as specific as possible
2- The sooner the better
3- Address the learner's advancement toward a goal
4- Present feedback carefully
5- Involve learners in the process
Technology Enhancements-
Use LMS and iPad to write feedback notes on students work, Word Track Changes, Rubrics, Study Island, TenMarks, use features of programs like readability to help them become more responsible for their effort and work, discussion boards where the teacher joins in the discussion to pose questions as students formulate responses
Strategy#8- Generating and Testing Hypothesis
Engaging students in a complex and mental process to apply content like facts that enhances their overall understanding of the content.
What it can look like in the classroom!
Make Predictions, Inferring, Extension Activities
System Analysis: What happens if the system changes?
Problem Solving: Real-life situation
Decision Making: Make a choice- weigh it against other possibilities
Historical Investigation: What really happened and why?
Experimental Inquiry: This can be applied to more than science
Invention: Is there a better way?
Technology Enhancements-
Taking the knowledge that they receive to the next level through simulations and research. STEAM lab, Real World Math, Get the Math, Excel templates, Gizmos (try the trial and let me know what you think), using sites like diigo, and hands on activities where they have to report on their project through technology, Historical Science Investigation
Strategy #9 - Cue's, Questions, and Advanced Organizers
Enhance students ability to retrieve background knowledge, then use and organize it to facilitate new learning on a topic.
What it can look like in a classroom!
Using Background Knowledge, Asking Questions and Formulating Possibilities, KWL, Think Aloud, Front-loading/Flipping (getting the have to know knowledge in so focus can be shifted to the applying knowledge), be explicit in what you are wanting them to learn.
Technology Enhancements-
Nearpod, Discovery Education, Edpuzzle, Podcasts, Social Media, Current Events (ask questions about how the events have escalated, how does it link back to something else), Science News, Math in the News, Advanced Math in the News, Word Clouds, TedEd Real-World Math, Graphic Organizers, Digital Vault, Timelines
Just Believe as Hard as You Can!
